In October, it was disclosed that former couple Wilde and Sudeikis are in a "good place" since calling off their engagement in 2020. "If there's any resentment over where to live or child custody payments, they certainly don't show it," a source told the outlet. 

Of their custody case which was settled in September last year, the source added, "It's a united front. And they are clearly both deeply devoted parents."
