Inside Jason Sudeikis' love life - co-star romance to messy custody battle
The hit series Ted Lasso returned to our screens today for a third run of the popular show.
As fans get to grips with the goings-on with the American football coach, played by Jason Sudeikis, and his British soccer team, we take a look at the Hollywood actor's life off-screen, from failed marriages to A-list girlfriends - including rumours of a co-star romance.
Jason, 47, has won a whole host of new fans thanks to his energetic performances on the AppleTV+ series and it appears as though he has been a ladies' favourite too over the years.
His only marriage to date was to writer and director Kay Cannon. The pair first met in the late 1990s and dated for a few years before tying the knot in 2004, a year after he got his break on Saturday Night Live where he became a writer.
He told GQ in 2021 how taking the role meant he spent time away from the things he loved most - including his wife.

Jason was married to Kay Cannon (FilmMagic)Not long after he became a cast member, his marriage broke down, which also caused issues with his work life. He candidly told the publication: "You’re going through something emotionally and personally, or even professionally if that’s affecting you personally, and then you’re dressed up like George Bush and you’re live on television for eight minutes.
"You feel like a crazy person. You feel absolutely crazy. You’re looking at yourself in the mirror and you’re just like, ‘Who am I? What is this? Holy hell."
Eventually, in 2008, the duo split, before finalising their divorce in 2010. The pair remain on friendly terms, with Kay praising her ex after his Golden Globe win in 2021.
When he decided to give love another go, he went on to reportedly date actress January Jones. After being first spotted together in 2010, there were a number of other snaps of the pair enjoying each other's company.

The star then went on to date fellow high-flier Olivia Wilde and went on to get engaged and have children together. The pair share son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6.
There was trouble in paradise though near the 10-year anniversary as a couple and they became embroiled in a custody battle for the kids.
During an appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last year, Olivia was served with legal documents regarding the children's care and the duo are still said to be working out what will work best for the youngsters.

The co-stars were seen kissing during a trip to Mexico in 2021, several months after first being linked publicly.

A source went on to tell US Weekly the pair began as pals, but romance quickly blossomed when Jason became single.
Their pairing was short lived though, with the pair splitting up in May 2022.
This month they were both in attendance at the premiere of the final season of Ted Lasso, but failed to pose together for any snaps.
