Ted Lasso co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis and his ex-fling Keeley Hazell both attended the premiere of the third and final season (premiering March 15) at Regency Village Theatre in LA’s Westwood neighborhood on Tuesday.
The former couple – who originally met in 2013 on the set of Horrible Bosses 2 and ended their 15-month romance last May – did not pose together, even in the group shot.
Some fans might not realize that the British 36-year-old served as the inspiration behind the character of model-turned-PR firm owner Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) on the critically-acclaimed Apple TV+ football comedy.
Keeley has appeared in four episodes of Ted Lasso’s prior two season as West Ham United owner Rupert Mannion’s (Anthony Head) second wife Bex.
Hazell – who inked a deal with Grand Central Publishing to release her memoir Everyone’s Seen My Ti** – wore a black sheer to beneath a matching pantsuit and high-heeled glossy loafers.

The Virginia-born, Kansas-raised 47-year-old was seen sharing a warm embrace with Jodi Balfour, who has a major recurring role as charming venture capitalist Jack in season three – according to Deadline.
The South African 36-year-old – rocking a floral flapper frock with Prada Mary Janes – brought along her famous fiancée of seven months, A League of Their Own co-creator and star Abbi Jacobson.
Surprisingly, Jason (born Daniel) was last rumored to be reconciling with his ex-fiancée Olivia Wilde following their bitter custody battle over their eight-year-old son Otis Alexander and six-year-old daughter Daisy Josephine.
Rather than the traditional suit, Sudeikis sported white sneakers with an olive tracksuit featuring blue, black, and yellow chevron stripes.
The four-time Emmy winner rocked his titular character’s signature side-parted waves and he had substantial salt and pepper stubble.
Jason signed a $1M/per episode deal to reprise his role as American amateur AFC Richmond coach in season three – according to THR.
One bright moment from the trailer showed Ted – who battled panic attacks in the first two seasons – finally receiving a much-needed visit from his son Henry (Gus Turner) with ex-wife Michelle (Andrea Anders).
‘This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell,’ Sudeikis told Deadline on Monday.

‘The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet – that being season three – it’s flattering. Maybe by May 31, once all 12 episodes of the season [have been released], they’re like, “Man, you know what, we get it, we’re fine. We don’t need anymore, we got it.” But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we’ve come up with so far.’
The SNL alum is definitely open to the idea of a spin-off starring castmates such as Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Hannah Waddingham, Brendan Hunt, Phil Dunster, or Jeremy Swift.
‘Yeah, I think that we’ve set the table for all sorts of folks…to get to watch the further telling of these stories,’ Jason said.
‘Again, I can’t help but take the question as flattery for what all of us that were working on the show has tried to do. It’s really kind of folks to even consider that because you never know what’s gonna happen when you make things. The fact that people want more, even if it’s a different avenue is lovely.’
Speaking of which, Sudeikis made sure to pose with fellow executive producer and star Brett Goldstein as well as castmate Hannah Waddingham.
The 42-year-old Englishman – who’s scored two Emmys as AFC Richmond assistant coach Roy Kent – showcased his swagger in an all-black suit selected by stylist Rose Forde.
Groomer Kerrie Urban made sure Brett’s hair, bushy brows, and beard were trimmed and his complexion was on fleek.
The British blonde – who’s won an Emmy for her role as AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton – easily defied her 48 years wearing a black caped, halter jumpsuit and heels selected by stylist James Yardley.
