Jason Sudeikis spent some quality time with his kids on Saturday by taking them to a music lesson before going to support his son from the sidelines of a soccer game.
The Ted Lasso star, 47 – who recently said a potential fourth season could take place in Australia – kept it casual in a red Kansas City Chiefs sweatshirt, gray shorts and a black ‘Summer Break’ baseball cap.
Sudeikis seemed to be having a good time as he had a one-on-one moment with son Otis, nine, and daughter Daisy, six, for Mother’s Day.
The funny man is currently in the middle of a bitter custody battle with his ex Olivia Wilde, 39, but the co-parents are united on another legal front – the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by their former nanny.
The former couple recently put on a friendly display at another football game, as they both smiled and hugged each other on the sidelines before watching their son.

The amicable outing came shortly after Jason and Olivia claimed in new legal documents, per TMZ, that their former nanny, Ericka Gernaro, did not properly file her wrongful termination lawsuit in California as a civil lawsuit.
They further argue that the lawsuit should have been filed in New York State as a private arbitration.
The former couple told TMZ in a statement published Thursday that “it is unfortunate that this private matter continues to play out in the press.”
“Our focus has been and will continue to be steadfast in protecting our family from harassment of any kind. We are confident that the evidence presented will confirm our position to summarily dismiss this case and bring peace to our family.”
Ericka, who had worked for the Hollywood stars from 2018 to 2021, claimed earlier this year in February that she was fired after asking for three days of medical leave due to the stress of work. However, both Jason and Olivia claim that she was not fired, but that she actually resigned.
The former couple say nanny Ericka Genaro doubled her salary in 2020 and she was “taken care of by the family.”
In one case, they say they paid for her and her dog to stay at the Rosewood Hotel in London, after she quit her job. The final bill came to over $22,000, thanks in part to room service for food and drink.
They further claim that travel expenses of approximately $17,000 for Ericka to move from London to the United States were also reimbursed.

They also allege that Genaro violated her employment contract by going to the media about the couple’s intimate issues and lying about her criminal record. They would say Genaro has described himself as “ruthless.”
The TMZ report says Sudeikis and his former fiancé claim Genaro only started having problems with her job when she demanded a tax-free raise.
Genaro previously claimed to DailyMail.com how the Horrible Bosses star would text her about his alleged concerns when Olivia Wilde started seeing Harry Styles more often, before taking Genaro on a trip to London.
But the former celebrity couple quickly hit back at Genaro’s claims, calling them “false and rude.”
