Sudeikis recently told People at TIFF that he picked the right person to have children with.

“When I look at Olivia and the way that she pulls off all these things — it’s gonna be easy for him to grow up in a house of love and respect, because I feel that way about his mom,” he shared.

The two met at a Saturday Night Live after-party in 2011 and began dating shortly afterwards. They got engaged in January 2013.

Remember, it’s common courtesy to give up your seat to a pregnant, elderly or disabled person when you’re sitting on public transportation. Don’t be that girl/guy.
