Jason Sudeikis finds the idea of dating "daunting and overwhelming".
The 50-year-old actor split from fiancee Olivia Wilde in 2020 after a seven-year engagement and the Ted Lasso star - who has son Otis, 12, and daughter Daisy, nine, with his former partner - admitted there are "ups and downs" to life alone.
Speaking to Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Jason was asked if he was a "single man" and, after confirming he is, added: “I like being in relation to people.
“I'm not at a point in my life where, you know, where it feels good or fulfilling to date numerous people all at once. Yeah, that feels daunting and overwhelming, especially with being a parent.”
Jason knows any potential new partner will always come second to his children.
He said: “There's also a new thing of anybody I'm dating that they are never number one on the call sheet, as the showbiz saying would go, like the kids are.
“Even probably more so than myself. And so then there's that little bit as you get older, you're like, ‘Oh God, I got to make sure my cup's full in order for other people to get the overflow.’ ”
The Horrible Bosses actor is open to settling down and having more children in the future.
Asked if he wants more kids, he replied: “I would if, yeah, if I fell in love."
A year after he and Olivia split, Jason - who dated Keeley Hazel from 2021 to 2022 and was romantically linked with Elsie Hewitt in 2024 - admitted he didn't fully understand the reasons for their break-up but hoped to be able to process it as time went by.
He told GQ in 2021: "I'll have a better understanding of why in a year, and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five, and it'll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle.
"That's an experience that you either learn from or make excuses about. You take some responsibility for it, hold yourself accountable for what you do, but then also endeavour to learn something beyond the obvious from it."
