Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have decided to end their marriage after nine years, confirming that they have been separated for some time. The couple, who built a notably private family life away from much of Hollywood’s spotlight, shared the news in a joint statement to People. Rather than detailing the reasons behind their decision, Seyfried and Sadoski emphasized that the separation was the right move for their family and made clear that their connection remains important.
The statement from the two actors was direct and personal: “We have been separated for a while, and it’s proven to be the right move for us and our family unit. We’ve got each other forever – and it’s GOOD.” They did not provide additional details about when they began living separately or what led to the decision. Their comments instead focused on their family and the continuing bond between them.
How Amanda Seyfried And Thomas Sadoski Met
Seyfried and Sadoski first met professionally in 2015 while working on the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By. Their paths crossed again later that year when they appeared together in The Last Word, where their characters had a romantic connection. What began as a professional relationship eventually developed into a real-life romance, which the pair publicly confirmed in March 2016.
Their relationship moved quickly after that. The couple became engaged later in 2016 before marrying in March 2017, choosing a remarkably private ceremony rather than a large Hollywood wedding. Sadoski later explained that they had eloped in the countryside with only an officiant present, describing the experience as “beautiful” and saying it was exactly what they wanted.
Family soon became an important part of their life together. Their daughter, Nina, was born only days after their wedding, while their son, Thomas Jr., arrived in September 2020. The couple subsequently built their home life around their farm in upstate New York, where Seyfried has occasionally offered glimpses of their children and animals.
A Marriage Kept Mostly Away From Hollywood
Despite both actors maintaining successful careers, Seyfried and Sadoski generally kept their family life away from the constant attention surrounding celebrity relationships. They occasionally spoke about each other in interviews and public appearances, but their children and day-to-day life remained largely private. Their shared interests also extended beyond entertainment, including work supporting children affected by conflict.
Their mutual respect was particularly visible in comments they made about each other over the years. In 2017, Sadoski described Seyfried as the person he loved, admired and respected most in the world. Seyfried later acknowledged her husband during her 2022 Emmy acceptance speech after winning Outstanding Lead Actress for The Dropout, highlighting the support they had given each other during their careers.
The two also continued to appear together publicly as their careers developed. Sadoski accompanied Seyfried to the 2023 premiere of The Crowded Room, while Seyfried that year described their approach to parenting as “yin and yang.” Sadoski also spoke about being proud to work alongside his wife in support of War Child USA.
That public picture of mutual support continued into 2026. As recently as January, Seyfried spoke positively about Sadoski’s role in supporting her career while she balanced multiple projects, telling Vogue that he “sacrifices a lot for me.” The timing makes the separation announcement particularly notable because the couple had continued to speak warmly about one another even while their relationship had apparently changed privately.
The Instagram Post Before The Announcement
Adding an unexpected detail to the timing, Seyfried shared a photograph of Sadoski on her Instagram Stories just one day before the separation confirmation. The image showed him posing with a gecko, and Seyfried jokingly captioned it, “@thomassadoski is a #reptiledad.”
The post does not explain the circumstances of their separation, and neither actor has publicly offered a detailed account of what changed between them. It does, however, underline how recently the two were still appearing in each other’s social-media orbit. Their joint statement similarly avoided turning the announcement into a public airing of private matters.
For now, the clearest message from Seyfried and Sadoski is that their relationship as a family remains important to both of them. They have spent nearly a decade married, share two children and have built a life together far from the traditional Hollywood spotlight. Their decision to separate therefore marks a major change in their personal lives, but their own statement makes clear that they intend to remain connected.
