Jason Sudeikis reportedly found out about his ex-fiancée Olivia Wilde's relationship with Harry Styles on an old Apple Watch.
The former couple's nanny made the claim during an interview with the Daily Mail, saying Sudeikis discovered details about Wilde's burgeoning new romance on the long-forgotten device.
"On the Monday morning[of] November 9, when I came back from a weekend off, [Sudeikis] was crying a lot, crying and crying. I didn't know what had happened at all," the nanny said.
"After I'd got the kids ready, Jason came upstairs and was having some coffee. He was crying and a mess, saying, 'She left us. She left us!'"
"She went back into the house, and he went in, it was back and forth. He said he was doing it on purpose to make her late going to see Harry."
The nanny says Sudeikis banned any of Styles' music being played in the house following the discovery of Wilde's new relationship.

She alleges the actor also abruptly fired her one night while "drunk and out of control" when he discovered she had been texting Wilde.
A representative for Wilde has previously said the nanny was not fired and chose to resign instead.
The former couple has also issued a joint statement denying the claims their former nanny has made.
"As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly," the statement says.
"Her now 18 month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex.
"We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone."
Wilde and Sudeikis separated in 2020 after being engaged for more than seven years. The former couple have two children together, 8-year-old Otis and 6-year-old Daisy.
Wilde was infamously served those legal papers while on stage at CinemaCon. Sudeikis denies he ever intended for the papers to be served that way, however, Wilde says the actions "were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard".
