O.C. alum and her fiancé,
Jason Sudeikis, called off their engagement after seven years. The former couple are parents of son Otis, 6, and daughter Daisy, 4.
The source said that Wilde and the
Saturday Night Live alum, 45, were “already done” when she moved on with Styles, adding: “Harry did not break up an engagement.”
Prior to news of their relationship, the
Booksmart director defended the crooner after
Vogue in a Gucci ball gown. “You’re pathetic,” she replied to the conservative author, 31, via Twitter in November 2020.
Wilde praised Styles in the accompanying cover story, too. “I hope that this brand of confidence as a male that Harry has — truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity — is indicative of his generation and therefore the future of the world,” she said. “I think he is in many ways championing that, spearheading that. It’s pretty powerful and kind of extraordinary to see someone in his position redefining what it can mean to be a man with confidence.”
