The couple’s first child arrived two weeks before Wilde’s due date. With the new baby, Wilde and Sudeikis’ marriage plans — they’ve been engaged for over a year — will probably have to wait. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/76216/olivia-wilde-baby-boy-otis-alexander-sudeikis/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/76216/olivia-wilde-baby-boy-otis-alexander-sudeikis/"},"headline":"It’s a Boy For Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis","datePublished":"2014-04-24T20:18:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:29:26.417Z","description":"The proud parents welcomed their baby boy with a joke.","url":"https://time.com/76216/olivia-wilde-baby-boy-otis-alexander-sudeikis/","keywords":["celebrities","twitter","baby"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt480040ada725aa6a/69868c6a169ab0021a278ff3/sudeikis-wilde-1280x720.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt480040ada725aa6a/69868c6a169ab0021a278ff3/sudeikis-wilde-1280x720.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde welcome their first child with a joke.","caption":"The acting couple tweeted out a gem and announced their baby all at the same time.","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/76216/olivia-wilde-baby-boy-otis-alexander-sudeikis/","name":"It’s a Boy For Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis"}}]}] ```
