Olivia Wilde says her children get her through the intense scrutiny and rumours surrounding her personal life

It's no secret that there's intense speculation vis-à-vis behind-the-scenes drama surrounding director Olivia Wilde, actor Florence Pugh and former boybander Harry Styles, darling.

Amid rumours of an on-set affair between Wilde, 38, and Styles, 28 – they are in a relationship, but Wilde has repeatedly denied that it started while she was with her former fiancé Jason Sudeikis– plus a public serving of custody papers, repeatedly denied by her former leading man Shia LaBeouf and whisperings of tension between Wilde and Pugh, 26, as a result, Wilde says she is not letting the negativity get to her and she's blocking out the noise while she prepares for the release of Don't Worry Darling.

"It's hard. It's hard sometimes," she told Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show. "But at the end of the day, I'm so lucky and there's people dealing with really so many hard things… dealing with real health crises."

Wilde, who shares two children with Sudeikis, eight-year-old son Otis and five-year-old daughter Daisy, said although her "stuff is out there," she's thankful that she and her children are alive.

"That's what gets me through," she said. "I remind myself of that every single day. I'm not on the internet, I'm not on Instagram. So, I think that really helps."

The Booksmart director does have an Instagram account, though she rarely shares anything personal to the platform, and when she does, comments on her posts are limited or switched off.

The key to blocking out the noise, Wilde said, is "focusing on what's real, your trusted circles of friends, things that make you happy, people you love, people who love you."

"Just keeping your mind in what's real. And also watching people – my colleagues – get through it. It could be a lot worse and we're alive and everything's going to be OK," she continued.

Although Wilde has been asked publicly about feud rumours surrounding she and Pugh – at Don't Worry Darling's international premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, it was all anyone was talking about – she has steadfastly dodged commenting on the allegations, often choosing to praise Pugh instead.

She has, however, addressed the fact that she was served custody papers by a proxy of Sudeikis on-stage in the middle of a presentation about Don't Worry Darling to investors and cinema executives, calling it a "vicious" ambush. Sudeikis has apologised for the incident and his representative said he had no idea Wilde would be served in that manner.

Throughout the drama, Wilde is focused on promoting Don't Worry Darling, which is the second film she's directed after she made her directorial debut with 2019's Booksmart.

"There's many different sides to each mini drama," a source close to Wilde told E! News earlier this month. "Olivia is trying to steer the focus onto the film and not feed into it."

Don't Worry Darling will be in Australian cinemas on October 6.
