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.

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).

‘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.’
