The idea that you can trick your kids into thinking you’re happy is ludicrous.”Īnd what, she wonders, is really going on when the outside world passes judgment on how she-on how anyone-chooses to live? “You can go deep on Cold War influences on family structure, why we all think we need, you know, a two-parent household and a microwave,” Wilde says. “I think we owe it to children to be happy. It puts in sharp, clear focus decisions you’re making,” she tells me. “Parenting forces you to be honest about how you live your life. And yeah, she’s done her share of gallivanting on yachts with Harry, but Olivia says she’s happy and her kids can feel that: Olivia also talked about her kids with Jason, Otis, 7, and Daisy, 5.

The interviewer brings up the “widespread obsession, envy, and tabloid-fueled cattiness”, and here’s Olivia’s response, via Vogue: Soon there were loads of judgy headlines about their age gap, how Harry factored into Olivia’s split with Jason, and loads of “WHERE ARE HER CHILDREN?!?” Olivia tells Vogue that it’s “really tempting to correct a false narrative” but she’s super happy and “it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you.” Ahhh, to be a hot, rich bitch who doesn’t give a shit about what others think. Less than two months later, Olivia, 37, and Harry, 27, made their couple debut after meeting on the set of the upcoming film Don’t Worry Darling (she directed, they both star).
