Olivia Wilde’s children are growing up!

The actress attended the opening night of "Kate", a one-woman show written and performed by Kate Berlant, in California on Sunday and exclusively opened up to PEOPLE about her two children.

“They're so great. They're huge and they're so healthy and happy,” Wilde says of her family. “I already feel like they're giant teenagers, but we're having a lot of fun. They're my best friends.”

The Don’t Worry Darling star, 39, went on to reveal her go-to activities with son Otis Alexander, 9, and daughter, Daisy Josephine, 7, whom she shares with ex Jason Sudeikis.

“We have so much fun. They're so active. They're musicians and they're athletes and they're just cool,” she says. “They both play drums and they sing and we just have a great time. We're a big karaoke family.”

And revealing her song choices, the star — who looked elegant on the evening in a high-necked black maxi-dress — says, “My go-to changes. It changes a lot. Right now we have a lot of Taylor Swift happening in our house.”

“It's wall-to-wall Taylor and Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish,” Wilde tells PEOPLE. “And now Daisy has brought in Dua Lipa, but we're like Taylor first.”

In October it was revealed that former couple Wilde and Sudeikis are in a "good place" since calling off their engagement in 2020.

"If there's any resentment over where to live or child custody payments, they certainly don't show it," a source told PEOPLE.

The source added of their custody case, which was settled in September 2023, "It's a united front. And they are clearly both deeply devoted parents."

Also in September, the actress celebrated Otis on National Sons Day.

The director shared a sweet photo to her Instagram of her 9-year-old to mark the holiday. The snap showed her son sipping on two juice boxes and wearing sunglasses as he posed for his mom.

"I don't know a cooler guy," Wilde wrote across the image at the time
