Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Split After Nine Years of Marriage

Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have separated after nine years of marriage, bringing an end to a relationship that began with a friendship, moved quickly into romance and grew into a family with two children.

The actors confirmed their separation in a joint statement released to PEOPLE on Sept. 15. The couple said they had been separated for some time and described the decision as the right choice for themselves and their family.

“We have been separated for a while, and it’s proven to be the right move for us and our family unit,” Seyfried and Sadoski said in the statement. They also emphasized that their relationship remains important to them, adding that they will continue to have each other in their lives.

The announcement comes after nearly a decade of marriage for the pair, who largely kept their personal lives away from the spotlight while continuing to work in film and television.

How Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Met

Seyfried and Sadoski first crossed paths in 2015 when they appeared together in the Off-Broadway production The Way We Get By. Their connection began as a friendship before they reunited professionally for the film The Last Word.

Their relationship became romantic while working on the movie. By March 2016, reports confirmed that the two were dating, and they became engaged later that year.

Their romance moved quickly. In March 2017, Seyfried and Sadoski quietly eloped in a private ceremony. Sadoski later revealed that they had chosen to marry without a traditional wedding, making the occasion an especially private moment for the couple.

Their first child, daughter Nina, was born shortly after their wedding. The couple later welcomed a son, Thomas Jr., in September 2020.

A Private Family Life

Throughout their marriage, Seyfried and Sadoski generally avoided turning their family life into a public spectacle. They eventually made a home on a farm in upstate New York, where they raised their children away from much of Hollywood’s daily attention.

Seyfried has previously spoken about the challenges of combining a demanding acting career with motherhood. In January 2026, she also discussed Sadoski’s role in supporting her professional opportunities, describing the sacrifices he made for the family.

That glimpse into their partnership stood in contrast to the news of their separation, which the couple apparently chose to keep private until they were ready to acknowledge it publicly.

Their approach to major personal milestones has often been similarly understated. From their secret wedding to their family life away from Los Angeles, Seyfried and Sadoski have repeatedly chosen privacy over publicity.

Career Support Through the Years

Seyfried and Sadoski also supported one another professionally during their marriage.

Seyfried, known for films including Mean Girls, Mamma Mia! and Les Misérables, continued to build a successful career across film and television. She earned major recognition for her performance as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie in 2022.

During her acceptance speech, Seyfried acknowledged Sadoski and the support he had provided as she pursued her career.

Sadoski has built his own career across stage, television and film. He has appeared in projects including The Newsroom, Life in Pieces and John Wick, as well as numerous theatrical productions.

Their professional lives occasionally overlapped, most notably when they worked together on The Way We Get By and The Last Word, the projects that played an important role in the beginning of their relationship.

What the Separation Means for Their Family

Although the couple confirmed that they are no longer together romantically, their statement made clear that their family remains a central priority.

Seyfried and Sadoski share two children, Nina and Thomas Jr., and their comments indicate that they intend to maintain a lasting connection as they move into a new chapter.

The announcement did not provide details about when they separated or whether either has filed for divorce. The couple has also not publicly discussed specific reasons for the breakup.

For now, their joint statement focuses on the decision itself rather than placing blame or discussing private circumstances.

The news marks a significant change for two actors who spent almost a decade married while raising a family and maintaining successful careers. Yet their statement also suggests that they do not view the end of their marriage as the end of their relationship altogether.

Instead, Seyfried and Sadoski appear committed to preserving the bond they built over the years, particularly for their children.

Their separation closes one chapter of their relationship, but their shared responsibilities as parents and their history together mean they will remain connected long after their marriage has ended.

For fans who followed their relationship from their first professional collaboration through their private wedding and family life, the announcement is a notable shift. Still, the couple’s decision to keep much of their personal life private appears to remain unchanged as they begin this next stage.
