That doesn’t mean he’s pointing fingers at himself or Wilde, 37. Rather, Sudeikis is using it as a life lesson, and path to growth and self-reflection.

“That’s an experience that you either learn from or make excuses about,” he toldGQ. “You take some responsibility for it, hold yourself accountable for what you do, but then also endeavor to learn something beyond the obvious from it.”

Sudeikis and Wilde share two children: daughterDaisy, 4½, and sonOtis, 7. An insider told PEOPLE in March that although the pair have moved on in other relationships, they arecommitted to co-parenting theirkids amicably and there is no animosity between them.

The former couple has “transitioned into a great co-parenting routine,” another source said, adding, “Thechildren are the priority and the heartof the family’s relationship.”
