She may have a new man in her life, but he can't replace her best friend.
Olivia Wilde looked perfectly content in the absence of Jason Sudeikis, who said his farewells earlier before heading to LAX airport.
The 27-year-old smiled to herself as she took pet dog Paco for a walk, holding his lead as the adorable pooch dutifully scurried along beside her.
Best friends: Olivia Wilde looked content with her dog Paco, in the absence of boyfriend Jason Sudeikis who headed to LAX airport
The nine-year-old rescue dog has long been Olivia's most loyal companion and last year she even described him as her 'boyfriend'.
Looking typically striking, the Alpha Dog beauty showcased her trademark hipster style with an Elton John T-shirt lurking beneath her grey sweater.

Quite whether wearing a pseudo-vintage piece of memorabilia would have been enough to win her approval from other fashionistas is questionable.
However, the fashionable star chose to wear another trendsetting item, with her pullover bearing the name of the timelessly cool Grateful Dead.

Coupled with her flares, sunglasses and T-shirt, the svelte Tron: Legacy beauty was aiming high on the hipster scale.
Indeed, a male friend seemed to be telling her just how great she looked as they headed for lunch together in the uber-cool Larchmont Village, LA.

And the praise certainly seemed to put a smile on Olivia's face, as she was seen sharing a hearty chuckle.
But her shrewd fashion coordination won't surprise fans, who know she is a smart cookie.
The brainbox even changed her second name from Cockburn to honour flamboyant Irish writer Oscar Wilde.
And she has talked at length about how she was given a personal phone call from Barack Obama to thank her for volunteering for his election campaign.
Of course she does make the occasional blunder, last year boasting on Twitter that she was to speak Swiss before a Cowboys and Aliens premiere in Locarno.
Unfortunately there is no such language - with German, French, Italian, and Romansh the Alpine country's official tongues.
The question on people's lips is whether once-married Olivia - who shot to fame playing bisexual Alex Kelly in The O.C - is ready for love with Saturday Night Live hunk Jason.
And the answer seems to be a resounding yes, as the 36-year-old Hall Pass star was seen sneaking out of her house in Los Feliz yesterday.
