Olivia Wilde posts rare photos of daughter Daisy, 10, with a nod to Olivia Rodrigo's festival

Olivia Wilde broke from her usual privacy around her children on October 11, 2026, flooding her Instagram Stories with candid photos of her daughter Daisy turning 10 — a birthday tribute that doubled as one of the fullest glimpses the public has had of the girl she shares with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis.

The post opened with a black-and-white infant photo of Wilde holding Daisy as a newborn. What followed was a loosely narrated slideshow: a photo-booth strip of mother and daughter cheek-to-cheek, Daisy making a peace sign; a shot of the 10-year-old in baby-pink pajamas holding a camera to her face, labeled 'The coolest'; a photo of her touching noses with a dog, captioned 'The sweetest'; and Daisy pulling a face beside a large statue, earning 'The funniest.'

One image stood out for its comic timing: Daisy posing in front of a sign for Olivia Rodrigo's inaugural Daisy Chain Fields music festival, with the photo dated August 29 — weeks before the actual birthday.

The tribute closed with Daisy in a white coat and oversized pink-framed sunglasses, captioned 'Happy birthday dream woman,' according to InStyle.

Daisy is the younger of Wilde's two children with Sudeikis; they also share son Otis, 12. The former couple ended their seven-year engagement in 2020. In a June 2026 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Wilde spoke at length about how shared custody had reshaped her approach to parenting.

I really value the opportunity to be completely present with them and then to hand them to a very capable coparent, very present with them when he's with them.— Olivia Wilde, actress and director

These kids are consistently getting the best of us in a way that when we were together was not possible because we did not work together. We work really well as separated coparents. When I talk to people who are in very unhappy situations and staying in it for the kids, I'm like, 'You're doing no one any favors.'— Olivia Wilde, actress and director

Beyond the birthday posts, Wilde has offered occasional glimpses of Daisy's emerging interests. In a May 2024 interview with People, she said Daisy wanted to become a director, and that the two watched music videos by Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Rodrigo together, studying the direction before Daisy created and edited her own videos. Asked whether she appeared in her daughter's home movies, Wilde was characteristically dry.

She would critique my choreography way too much.— Olivia Wilde, actress and director

Daisy has also had at least one on-screen credit: a small role in a poolside scene in Wilde's 2022 film Don't Worry Darling. Wilde told Vanity Fair that year that she balanced acting and directing on set while carrying Daisy on her hip, checking footage between takes.

Why it matters — The posts offer one of the most detailed public looks yet at Daisy, while Wilde's candid comments about shared custody add context to how she and Sudeikis have structured their family life since separating.
