Jason Sudeikis Gushes Over Newborn Daughter Daisy
Proud dad alert! Jason Sudeikis gushed over newborn daughter, Daisy, during a Friday, October 21, appearance on Harry. He also revealed that fiancée Olivia Wilde had a Beyoncé-related false alarm just days before welcoming their bundle of joy.
The 41-year-old actor was supposed to stop by Harry Connick Jr.’s new talk show last Tuesday, but ended up canceling because Wilde gave birth that day.
“I was supposed to be here at 4,” he explained. “She came out at 3:39. She does not care about show business, but she will!”
Sudeikis then went on to explain that he thought Daisy might make her debut earlier than expected. He and Queen Bey enthusiast Wilde were on their way to see the “Formation” singer, 35, in concert on Friday, October 7, but had to turn around because the Lazarus Effect actress, 32, started having contractions.
“We came really close,” Sudeikis told Connick Jr., 49. “Daisy was born on Tuesday, but on Friday night, [Olivia] and I were going out — date night. This is how confident of a lady Olivia is: She’s like, ‘Date night, we’re going to go see Beyoncé.’ So, we were in line to get in the Lincoln Tunnel and there was an accident in there,” he recalled. “Everything was gummed up, so it was going to take us like an hour to get through the tunnel, and we would have been a half hour late to the concert, which would have been a bummer because we would miss all the choreography and fireworks.”
Sudeikis added: “I don’t know if it was the pressure, if it was the traffic, or the fact that we were going to be late. It was just bad in the back seat of the car. We U-turned and got it out of there. We figured it would be a bad scene to have the baby in a tunnel — and a little redundant!”
The Horrible Bosses star — who once threw a Beyoncé-themed birthday party for his and Wilde’s 2-year-old son, Otis — joked with Connick Jr. that he believes Daisy was slaying some of the superstar’s choreography in the womb when Wilde thought she was about to give birth.
“We hightailed it to [the] Upper East Side [in New York City] where the hospital was, got out of the car, walked around [the] neighborhood a little bit. Then, Daisy calmed down. I think she was just fired up,” he said. “Just sitting there doing the [‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’] dance, like, ‘I know where I’m going!'”
