Olivia Wilde responds to backlash
After becoming the topic of debate online, the Babylon actress took to her Instagram account and deleted the post. She went on to repost the video alone and wrote alongside:
“For anyone who got it twisted… it’s hot to respect your partner. Especially when your partner just did thaaaaaat.”
The actress famously dated One Direction alum Harry Styles. The two called it quits in November 2022 after almost two years of dating. A source exclusively told Page Six that the two decided to part ways due to their hectic schedules.
The insider revealed:
“It’s impossible to have a relationship when he’s in every continent and Olivia has her job and her kids. This is the right thing for the both of them.”
Their relationship was heavily criticized by the internet considering that they made their relationship public at the same time as the end of Wilde’s seven-year engagement to Jason Sudeikis. She shares two children, Otis and Daisy, who are eight and six years old respectively with the actor.

However, the mother-of-one was hinting at her pregnancy. During the show, she debuted her baby bump and almost broke the internet.
Her representatives also confirmed with The Hollywood Reporter that she was expecting her second child.
