Amanda Seyfried, Thomas Sadoski end nine-year marriage: 'right move for us'

The announcement came straight from Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski themselves: a brief, united statement to People confirming they quietly separated after nine years of marriage. They emphasized they’ve been living this way “for a while,” framing the change as a family- first decision rather than a rupture played out in public.

“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.”

The pair eloped in 2017, and their daughter, Nina Sadoski Seyfried, was born just days later; son Thomas Jr. followed in 2020. They’ve largely raised their kids on a farm in upstate New York, a setup Seyfried once described to People as a yin-and-yang balance in their parenting styles.

From stage to farm

Seyfried and Sadoski first met in 2015 during the Off-Broadway run of The Way We Get By and later reunited on screen in the indie drama The Last Word. Their relationship became public in 2016, leading to their low-key elopement and the family life they built away from Hollywood ’s day-to-day glare.

The Gamora what-if

Long before this week’s personal news, Seyfried made headlines for passing on Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy , worried at the time that a movie anchored by a talking tree and raccoon might be Marvel ’s first flop. She’s since called that a misread—reasonable in the moment, but a miscalculation in hindsight. The role ultimately went to Zoe Saldana , while Seyfried steered into a different lane with A Million Ways to Die in the West the same year.

Her credits since have swung from glossy crowd-pleasers to prestige TV and thriller territory:

• Mamma Mia!
• The Dropout
• The Housemaid
• Steps (in development)
• Ted: The Animated Series

Beyond their statement that they’ve been separated “for a while,” the couple didn’t share additional details about timing or arrangements.
