Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski announce separation after nine years of marriage
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski are going their separate ways after nine years of marriage, confirming in a joint statement to PEOPLE that they have been separated “for a while” and that the decision has ultimately been the right move for their family.
Despite the split, they stressed that they would always have each other and remain committed to their family unit.
Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski’s romance began on stage
Seyfried, 40, and Sadoski, 50, first met in 2015 while starring together in the off-Broadway play 'The Way We Get By.'
They reunited later that year on the set of 'The Last Word,' where they played love interests. Their on-screen connection developed into a real-life romance, with PEOPLE confirming that they were dating in March 2016.
The couple got engaged later that year and quietly eloped in March 2017. Sadoski later recalled their intimate wedding, saying, “We eloped. We just took off into the country with an officiant and, just the two of us, and we did our thing."
He continued, "It was beautiful. It was everything that it should be. It was just the two of us talking to each other.”
Just days after their wedding, Seyfried and Sadoski welcomed their first child, daughter Nina. They later became parents to a son, Thomas Jr, in September 2020. Over the years, they largely kept their family life private while settling into a quieter lifestyle on a farm in upstate New York.
Seyfried has occasionally shared glimpses of their family routine, their animals, and their joint work supporting children affected by conflict.
Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski’s lasting bond
In 2017, shortly after their wedding, Sadoski spoke warmly about Seyfried, saying, “She’s the person that I love, admire, respect most in the world.” The pair also continued supporting one another professionally and publicly.
Seyfried thanked Sadoski during her 2022 Emmy acceptance speech after winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for 'The Dropout.' Sadoski later joined her on the red carpet at the 2023 premiere of 'The Crowded Room.'
That same year, Seyfried described them as “yin and yang” when it came to parenting, while Sadoski discussed how proud he was to work alongside his wife in supporting War Child USA.
In January 2026, Seyfried spoke about Sadoski’s support for her career during a busy period, telling Vogue that her husband “sacrifices a lot for me” as she took on roles in 'The Testament of Ann Lee,' 'The Housemaid' and the series 'Long Bright River.'
Even after confirming their separation, the connection between them remained visible.
On September 15, Seyfried posted a photo of Sadoski on her Instagram Stories showing him posing playfully with a gecko. “Thomas Sadoski is a reptile dad,” she wrote.
In their statement, the former couple said, “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,” reflecting their continued commitment to their family despite the end of their marriage.
