University of Kansas students who attended Thursday night’s KU Jayhawks basketball game got to see the first appearance of actress Olivia Wilde and Saturday Night Live comic Jason Sudeikis as a couple. They had long been linked romantically, but this is the first confirmation of a relationship between the two.
According to The Insider, Sudeikis calls Kansas home and the KU athletics department tweeted a photo of the two together at the game.
People reports that Sudeikis frequently attends games and is a big fan of college basketball. A group of students even welcomed the SNL star to the arena with letters that spelled out “SUDEIKIS.”
Wilde’s divorce from her first husband, Tao Ruspoli, was finalized a few months ago, according to The Daily Mail. The two married in 2003, when Wilde was just 19 years old. As for Sudeikis, he was married to television writer Kay Cannon from 2004 to 2010 and reportedly dated Mad Men’s January Jones.
Rumors of the two dating began in December, when Us Weekly was told by a source that Wilde had visited the SNL studio in New York to go out to dinner with Sudeikis. Prior to that, she was reportedly romantically linked with Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds.
