Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are the dream couple we all wish we could be. While they might have tied the knot quickly, they have proven that their love is so real, not even the tabloids could get in between their relationship and their little family they have together. But there are some specifics that really confuse fans when it comes to their relationship together in Hollywood.

Many people don't really understand exactly how these two fell in love and how they ended up being one of the most real couples under the spotlight of Hollywood. Many individuals, even TV hosts these two have been interviewed by, have straight out asked them how someone like Jason was able to score with someone like Olivia Wilde. That might sound a bit harsh— basically, everyone is suggesting that Jason doesn’t have any good looks whatsoever and only Olivia Wilde does.

But nonetheless these two really do seem perfect for each other, they’re both rich with senses of humor and most of all they love each other. It's also quite amazing knowing that even though these two as a couple have been so ridiculed because of their relationship and family, they still seem to not give a care in the world about those who have nothing to do with their relationship. It’s refreshing to see, and we’re rooting them on!

It Felt Like A Fairytale, But Why?

Their relationship had them both feeling like the whole thing was a fairytale when they started dating. While they’re both on the same level in different ways, these two have made the comment many times before, that when they started dating, it was so surreal, and they couldn't believe they were actually together at the end of the day. Of course, it wasn't always easy. Their relationship started off quite slow because of outside circumstances, but as you can see now, it was quite worth it.

According to US Magazine, “Olivia Wilde thought she was getting a real-life fairy-tale when she married an honest-to-goodness Italian prince in 2003, but her actual happily-ever-after came much later.”

Hopefully, moving forward, she’ll be based more in reality because she has such a beautiful family, it would be a shame if she couldn’t enjoy everything in her life because she can’t believe how amazing it is. We have no reason to doubt that she believed she was in a fairytale though, simply because of how in love they were when they started talking to and dating each other. You can tell just from looking at them that they are in love, which is why it’s probably a dreamy time in their lives, even though some fans just might not get it!

Why Did She Not Feel Pretty Enough?

Even though many people feel as though Olivia Wilde is the most attractive out of the relationship, apparently Olivia Wilde herself didn't feel like she was attractive enough for her relationship with Jason. WHAT?!  How does that even make sense? That’s actually shocking that she would think that!

According to StyleCaster, “No matter how famous or successful a person may be, it’s a given that insecurities will occasionally surface. Case in point: Olivia Wilde. The actress—often regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood—admitted to Marie Claire that she was nervous that her fiancé, Saturday Night Live funnyman, Jason Sudeikis, wouldn’t like her because she wasn’t pretty enough.”

It really does say a lot though that this huge celebrity who has been deemed beautiful by so many people doesn’t even find herself beautiful. It just proves you never really know what goes on in a person’s head, you can never just assume someone is confident when they have a struggle this big in their life. Hopefully, now that she can be more herself, she’ll find a sense of peace, not only with herself but with how she takes care of herself, moving forward with a much more positive outlook.

She Didn’t Feel Good Enough For Him

Since she didn't feel that attractive, that seems to have all changed moving forward to recent years. She's seemingly more confident, and she always seems so happy when she's with Jason and her children out on the town. Hopefully, she doesn't feel those negative vibes anymore and she feels proud of who she is as a person because that's the most important thing.

According to StyleCaster, this is what Olivia Wilde had to say about her falling in love with him and not feeling like she was enough to even consider going out with him in the first place, “I thought, ‘He won’t be interested in me; I’m not a contender,'” she told the mag.

“He was so cool, so funny —I was such a fan of his and had always fancied his speed and his intelligence. I thought, ‘I’m not beautiful enough or his type.'”

It’s actually quite sad to think that someone like Olivia didn’t even feel worthy of dating someone because she wasn’t confident in herself. Hopefully, now she’s been able to see the truth and how she needs to work on herself, she can have a happy and healthy outlook on her body image when in a relationship. That’s one of the most important things!

Her Divorce Was A Blessing

Olivia Wilde was actually married in the past, while that marriage has its own story that we won't be touching on today, it did shape her life to what it is now in a lot of ways. She has also mentioned many times that she’s very thankful that she was divorced so she could have the freedom she loves now. As well as giving her the opportunity to meet Jason, which has been one of the highlights of her life.

Not to mention that Olivia Wilde has commented on the fact that her divorce has helped her to be herself so much more.

According to Huffington Post, Olivia had this to say about her marriage with Tao: “I had grown up with Tao; we had just drifted,” she explains. “I felt I had something to prove. If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter. I hung on for as long as possible until it was more hurtful to stay."

"I’m so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak. It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life.” We’re just glad that she was able to get control of her life and really just embrace who she is as a person.

She Fell Way Too Hard

Many fans were confused that Olivia Wilde was the one who seemed to have fallen in love the most with Jason at the start of their relationship. Many people were confused by this because people tend to think that Olivia Wilde is the one who’s too good for Jason, that she’s the one who is ten times more attractive than Jason. Even though that's not actually the case, and it’s only based on opinions, they’re both attractive in their own ways!

It’s totally okay to fall hard for a guy. However, their relationship progressed so quickly. It was a bit shocking to see that these two adults simply jumped into everything, with all the red flags, and somehow made it work between them.

Made it work so well that people are literally idolizing their relationship, talk about something fans don’t really understand. Their whole connection to each other is so strange and out of nowhere it really has confused fans for quite a while. But, oh well! They’re simply one of the top cutest couples in Hollywood even till this day! It’s also pretty adorable that Olivia was the one who fell for him first when they met, how could she go on without him, the world may never know!

The First Date Sealed The Deal

The first date was the first notion of love. While many people take their time when they first start dating, these two didn’t take very long at all before they decided to take their relationship to the next level. Even while so many people didn’t understand why someone like Olivia would go for someone like Jason. According to Unilad, Jason explained their first meeting and “sort-of” date like this, “I met her at a finale party for SNL. We hit it off that night… I actually came off looking a lot cooler than I really am because I had heard through the grapevine, through mutual friends that weren’t exactly her best girlfriends that would report back, ‘Oh you know, I think she’s dating someone…’ So I didn’t make any sort of moves…I was just very, very busy with other things. And then, next thing you know, when I stopped being busy, she stopped dating someone, and then it was off to the races.” It’s quite amazing how something like this simple interaction could lead to life-changing events that are still shaping their lives to this very moment. We’re just so happy they pursued each other so they could be where they are today.

They Didn’t Wait For Long

It was only a year before they were actually engaged. That might seem like something that's a bit rushed or urgent. It might even seem like they should have waited for a bit longer to really embrace the love between them, why was there any rush in the first place? Regardless of all that and the confusion caused by the rushed engagement, many fans were lost and felt like they were doing this because of fame and press attention.

According to HelloGiggles, this is how they feel about the darling couple, “Love can be found in many different places, like an SNL after-show party. Those happen after every single show, and knowing who’s on SNL, and who hosts SNL, it’s easy to imagine that they’re one wild time. For Olivia Wilde, it was also the place where she fell in luv (sic), in what might be our new favorite meet-cute Hollywood romance.” Of course, we can’t help but agree! Even though they didn’t wait for a long time to tie the knot and start dating and having a family, their love is just so pure you can easily see that they obviously belong together for the long haul, that’s for sure!

He Popped The Question Quickly

Jason didn't waste any time before he asked Olivia to marry him. While this might be a red flag for some in today's world, it is actually pretty sweet to see how intense their love really is at the end of the day. We would love to know more details about how he actually asked her out, but for now, it's sweet to see the two still happily together, even after all this time. Sometimes, waiting doesn't seem like the best choice for everyone!

According to Huffington Post, Olivia Wilde had this to say back when she was discussing the engagement and wedding planning, “It’s funny, people tend to skip over the engagement thing. They think it’s like, 'Oh, engaged,'” Wilde said. “And then you get there. I don’t think you should spend your entire engagement planning a wedding. Because it’s fun. It’s this great time. It’s like dating-plus.”

Honestly, we’re just so glad to see that these two decided to stay together forever, and we hope they continue to do so, because the way they interact with each other and how they have created their own unique little lifestyle with their children and careers is inspiring in so many different ways. We can’t wait to see how they involve their careers more into their lives in the future.

They Wanted Children Right Away

Not only were fans worried about these two falling in love so quickly, but people were also worried about their jump into parenthood. It all seemed so fast compared to many other relationships, especially those in Hollywood. It does seem to have worked out for the better because they're still quite the perfect and happy family, but it does make you wonder because this timeline of events would not work for everyone, that's for sure!

Sometimes, the children topic, no matter how much someone is a fan of yours, can drive people mad. Some people just don’t understand that individuals can make their own choices because they’re adults, and they know what they want out of their lives. Some can’t help but wonder why they would they want children right away. Even though they decided they wanted a family, it might be a mystery, or it could just be the fact that this is what they wanted for themselves and they’re happy now, that’s all that should really even matter! Everyone is, of course, entitled to their own opinion, but it is important to realize that just because you’re a fan of someone doesn’t mean you can dictate what you want them to do with their lives!

They Met On SNL

When they first met on SNL, Olivia was actually still in a relationship, it was probably tough for both of them because there was a connection there that really seemed to start some sparks before they even started a relationship together. They met at an after party for SNL and ever since then, the connection was there, even if they didn't start dating right there on the spot.

Apparently, at the party when they first met, this was their first encounter, according to Olivia Wilde’s statement to HelloGiggles, “Wilde explained how she and fiance, Jason Sudeikis, met at one of these SNL parties (where she happened to be a guest) and how she wasn’t having a great time. While standing off to the corner of the dance floor, Sudeikis walked up to her and delivered what Wilde describes as, “the greatest line of all time.” She continued, “He came up to me, and he said, ‘Whatever you’re looking for, you don’t need it.'” Wilde explained, “And he walked away! He played it really cool.”

How cute is that? Not to mention how cool he played off that whole interaction, it’s no wonder she fell for him later on, that would be an unforgettable moment for most people.

Why Did He Play The Long Game?

Because Olivia was taken when they first met during that SNL after party, Jason decided to play the long game and actually waited until he had a chance. Of course, it did actually work out for the better, but it's kinda crazy that this even happened in the first place. What would have happened if he met someone else or if she never broke up with her boyfriend at the time? Who knows what could have happened, at least, it worked out for the two of them and the little family they have now.

Many fans never understood why someone like Jason Sudeikis would have waited for Olivia Wilde on the small chance that he could ask her out IF she ever got out of the previous relationship she was in. This was really a chance that not many people would take, which should just prove that he would do anything for her, even if it’s completely crazy to some. Even though he couldn’t ask her out right then and there at that after party, he waited half a year to pop the dating question to her when she was single. He waited that long without seeing anyone else, even though he could probably see anyone he wanted because of his status and fame in the industry. That’s some serious dedication!

Everything About Her Last Relationship Was Bad

Olivia’s last relationship obviously didn’t last, it wasn’t one that was memorable for good reasons, but the fact that her relationship ended and led her to her now husband and the father of her children, that’s an amazing turn of events without a doubt. It really makes you wonder! According to US Magazine, when speaking about her last relationship, she had this to say, “If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter. I hung on for as long as possible until it was more hurtful to stay," she explains to the magazine about her marriage to filmmaker, Ruspoli, whom she wed when she was 19 years old.

"I'm so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak. It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life." Having this sort of positive outlook is such a different way of thinking, it’s something we could all probably introduce into our lives if we really worked towards that. Maybe with some inspiration from Olivia, we’ll be able to look at things in a much more positive way. She’s a strong individual for making it through the ups and downs she had to face first hand.

They Had To Reintroduce Themselves

When Jason met Olivia, she was still in a relationship, so it basically meant that when they finally did come together, they had to reintroduce themselves in a way. Many people, especially younger fans, don’t exactly understand why this would be necessary, but it totally is. This is a new chapter in their lives, they want to start fresh and create something new together. Obviously, it worked quite well because they’re still a super strong couple even to this day!

If you ever cross paths with someone you like and find them again a few years later and you’re both single and ready to mingle, just go for it. Start something new and don’t hold back, who knows, it might just click! Now that we think about it, the relationship between both Jason and Olivia has been a great inspiration, they’ve done everything right. They stay out of the spotlight and they focus on the time they have together and with their children. That’s how all relationships should be at least to some kind of extent.

According to US Magazine, “Sparks flew when Wilde and Sudeikis first met at the 2011 finale of Saturday Night Live— "He seemed to really see me, see through the [...]," she says— but the two didn't have their first official date until six months later.”

A Friend Introduced Them

It’s always good to have a friend that will do anything for you, even if that means being the messenger boy who introduces you to your future husband. According to People, Olivia had this to say, “I met Jason, and I thought he was so charming … but he didn’t even get my number,” Wilde told Allure in October 2013. “Over the next six months, we kept running into each other. [One night], my best guy friend walked up to him and said, ‘This is Olivia’s number. Use it.’ That was the beginning.”

Even though they were both adults and very mature, this confused a ton of fans at the time. It’s true that they had a friend connect them together because they were both so shy about everything between them. Honestly, it is a bit cute to know that they were so shy that they couldn’t even exchange numbers without having a friend to help. It really makes you wonder if they would do the same thing today if they had to do it all over again. After seeing how they are together, we honestly think that it would probably happen the same way all over again, at least it worked out for the best!

They Always Felt Like A Family From The Start

It really does seem like these two have always been destined for the family life. Not only did they both click so quickly together with their relationship and now they’re together for the long haul, but they also decided on the big choice of having children quite quickly as well. While it might not be something for everyone, it is almost shocking to see how quickly their relationship timeline has progressed. This is one of the biggest things about these two that have people confused, even their fans.

While most fans are just happy that these two are together and that they’ve stayed together for the long run, overall, the fact that everything was so quick and seemingly spur of the moment and spontaneous makes most people uncomfortable because it’s never something they would do in most cases. While they might have both felt like their relationship as a whole was a fairytale, even from an outside perspective it really does seem like a fairytale in all the very best ways! We’re so looking forward to seeing what else comes from their careers and their relationship together, we wonder if they’ll ever work on a project together and make their industries collide! How fun would that be!
