Jason Sudeikis has reportedly grown close to model Keeley Hazell while filming Ted Lasso in London.

The actor’s split from fiancée Olivia Wilde was confirmed last year, with Olivia, 36, now dating her Don’t Worry Darling co-star Harry Styles.

Now, it has been claimed that Jason also has his eyes on a Brit.

The 45-year-old is believed to have hit it off with former Page 3 girl Keeley, with the pair spending time together in London.

Jason and Keeley have apparently been friends for years, but their relationship has progressed to flirting following the comedian’s split from Olivia.

A source told The Sun: ‘When Jason found out about his wife and Harry, Keeley was one of the people whom he turned towards. During this time he was understandably devastated, but she was brilliant and incredibly supportive.

‘He invited her to join him for a dinner with mates in LA, and their flirty banter quickly set tongues wagging. They have met up since, but obviously it’s all very early days.’

The source added that Jason was in no rush to ‘leap into a new relationship’, but ‘it’s a case of watch this space’.

It is believed that Jason and Keeley met back in 2014 when they both starred in the comedy sequel Horrible Bosses 2. 

Funnily enough, one of the characters in Ted Lasso – a model and WAG played by Juno Temple – is named Keeley Jones, adding further weight to the rumours of an affection between the pair.

The real-life Keeley, 34, stars as Bex, the younger girlfriend of the former owner of AFC Richmond, played by Anthony Head, in Ted Lasso, a comedy about an American football coach who is hired to manage a Premier League football team.

Jason plays the titular coach, as well as developing the show, and Ted Lasso has received a number of nods this awards season, including best television series and best actor for Sudeikis at the Golden Globes.

The Saturday Night Live comedian shares two children – Otis, six, and Daisy, four – with Olivia, and the children have been with him as he films season two of Ted Lasso in London.

It has been reported that Olivia and Harry, 27, have left for England together after wrapping Don’t Worry Darling, so that the director and actress can reunite with her kids.

The OC star has been staying with Harry in his Los Angeles home during filming, with Olivia seen carrying suitcases outside the house.

Olivia and Harry’s relationship was made public when they were pictured holding hands at a wedding.

While neither have confirmed the romance, Olivia did heap praise on the Watermelon Sugar singer, who plays the male lead in Don’t Worry Darling, which she is directing.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘Little known fact: most male actors don’t want to play supporting roles in female-led films. The industry has raised them to believe it lessens their power (i.e financial value) to accept these roles, which is one of the reasons it’s so hard to get financing for movies focusing on female stories. No joke, it is harrrrrd to find actors who recognize why it might be worth it to allow for a woman to hold the spotlight. 

‘Enter: @harrystyles, our “Jack” . Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold center stage as our “Alice”, but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity. He didn’t have to join our circus, but he jumped on board with humility and grace, and blew us away every day with his talent, warmth, and ability to drive backwards.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Sudeikis and Hazell for comment.
