As if Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis could get any cooler, Sudeikis recently revealed to Harry Connick Jr. on his talk show Harry that Wilde almost went into labor at a Beyoncé concert, People reports.
“[Olivia’s] like, ‘Date night, we’re going to go see Beyoncé,'” Sudeikis said. “So we were in line to get [in New York City’s] Lincoln Tunnel and there was an accident in there and everything was [backed] up, and it was going to take us an hour to get through the tunnel, and we would have been a half hour late to the concert.”
The couple made the smart decision to turn the car around, just in time for Wilde’s contractions to begin. Talk about perfect timing.
“We U-turned and got it out of there. We figured it would be a bad scene to have the baby in a tunnel, and a little redundant,” Sudeikis joked. “So we hightailed it to Upper East Side where the hospital was, got out of the car, walked around the neighborhood a little bit.”
“Then Daisy calmed down,” he said, talking about his newborn daughter. “I think she was just fired up, just sitting there doing the [‘Single Ladies’] dance.” We feel you, Daisy.
While we’re glad Wilde made it to the hospital safely, we can’t help but think it would’ve been pretty awesome if the first sound Daisy heard was Bey’s beautiful voice.
