Actress Olivia Wilde gets engaged to 'Saturday Night Live' star Jason Sudeikis

According to 'The Hollywood Reporter', actress Olivia Wilde and 'House' veteran Jason Sudeikis are to marry. They have been dating since late 2011, and are currently shooting the romantic comedy, 'Relanxious' together. Directed by Christopher Storer, and set for release later this year, it tells the story of love between an agoraphobic man and a woman who has anxiety attacks.


Wilde, 28, a veteran on TV show 'House', who appeared opposite Daniel Craig in 2011's  'Cowboys & Aliens',  was previously married to filmmaker Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011.


Her other upcoming projects include Spike Jonze’s sci-fi romance, 'Her', and Ron Howard’s racing biopic, 'Rush', where she will star opposite Chris Hemsworth.  'Rush' is due in September and 'Her' is expected to be released later this year.


Sudeikis, 34, was previously wed to '30 Rock' writer Kay Cannon from 2004 to 2010. In addition to his 'Saturday Night Live' duties (where he has played politicians Mitt Romney and Joe Biden), the comedian is lending his voice to the animated feature 'Epic', and will star opposite Jennifer Aniston in 'We’re the Millers'. Both films are due out this summer.


Wilde has been known to tweet about her affection for Sudeikis, and has frequently accompanied him to University of Kansas basketball games in the comedian’s home state. She recently put her $2.5 million Los Angeles home on the market so that she could move in with Jason in New York City, where 'Saturday Night Live' show is filmed.
