With the temperature in the mid-to-high 50s in L.A., Olivia Wilde and her eight-year-old son, Otis, decided to cool down on Monday (Feb. 20) with some ice cream. Olivia, 38, took her and Jason Sudeikis‘s son to an ice cream parlor for a mid-winter treat. Olivia dressed for the Southern California weather, sporting a yellow sweater over a white tank top, blue track pants, Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, and a cap. Like Otis, Olivia kept her long hair down while her song – also dressed in a white top – waited in line for their food.
The ice cream outing comes on the heels of Olivia posting a few cryptic comments on Instagram. On Feb. 14, she shared a quote from John Steinbeck‘s letter to his son, Thom. The letter wrote of how “there are several kinds of love,” including one that is “a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance.” This love, according to the Of Mice and Men author, “can make you sick and small and weak,” while a love built on “kindness and consideration and respect” can “release in you strength and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.”
Secondly, Olivia left a comment that showed solidarity with Amy Schumer and others who dealt with “the dizzying cycle of narcissism.” Amy, 41, posted on Feb. 18 a screenshot of an article titled Idealize, Devalue, Discard: The Dizzying Cycle of Narcissism by Andrew Schneider to the GoodThearapy Blog. “Anyone been through this with an ex-partner?” asked Amy. While numerous followers went into detail about their experiences, Olivia posted a single emoji – that of a fist, which could be interpreted as a fist pound of solidarity.
Olivia didn’t give context for either post. In November, she and d Harry Styles, 29, called it quits after two years together. In late January, Olivia reunited with her ex, Jason, and the two shared a friendly hug despite their seemingly acrimonious custody battle over Otis and their 6-year-old daughter, Daisy.
Supposedly, that battle was still ongoing at the start of February. TMZ reported that Jason asked a New York judge to resolve all child support issues, while both the NY judge and a California judge ruled that all “custody” issues should be resolved in Los Angeles. This splitting of hairs reportedly left Olivia “baffled,” Her legal team reportedly petitioned the judge to dismiss this child “support” move.
