Why ‘Lasso’ reeled in lover

JASON Sudeikis reignited his romance with former glamour model Keeley Hazell “because he feels safe with her,” following the heartbreak of his split with Olivia Wilde, according to sources.

Insiders said that earlier this year the relationship between the former “SNL” star and Hazell had been more casual. But after the pair were caught kissing on a beach in Mexico this week, an insider said that the British former Page Three girl Hazell is hoping to take her relationship with her “Ted Lasso” co-star to the next level.

“Jason was and still is devastated over his split with Olivia; she’s the mother of his kids. But he has known Keeley for a long time and he feels safe and relaxed with her. They enjoy each other’s company,” the source said.

The insider added Sudeikis’ friends were not initially sure how long the relationship would last, because he wasn’t looking for anything serious, but “Keeley has really helped him through his split with Olivia.”

He was seen putting his arms around bikiniclad Hazell as they smooched on the beach at a Mexican resort.

Their friendship goes back: Hazell spent time with Sudeikis on the set of 2014’s “Horrible Bosses 2,” in which she played Chris Pine’s assistant. But insiders said that before that, they already knew each other through friends.

Hazell plays Bex, a minor character on “Ted Lasso,” but one of the show’s main characters is named after her: Keeley Jones, a modelturned-p.r. consultant played by Juno Temple. The source added, “Jason met Keeley through friends . . . but she now lives in London where of course he films ‘Ted Lasso.’ ” He’s expected to return to the UK in January to continue filming. In November 2020, he and Wilde, who have two kids together, broke off their seven-year engagement. A few months later, sources in London confirmed to Page Six Sudeikis had begun growing close to Hazell on the heels of Wilde’s then-budding romance with Harry Styles.
