What's the story
Hollywood actors Amanda Seyfried (40) and Thomas Sadoski (50) have announced their separation after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple confirmed the news in a joint statement to People, saying, "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."
Relationship timeline
The couple eloped in March 2017
Seyfried and Sadoski met in 2015 while working on the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By. They reunited on the set of The Last Word, where they played love interests.
After dating for a few years, they got engaged in 2016 and eloped in March 2017.
Sadoski said on The Late Late Show with James Corden: "We eloped. We just took off into the country with an officiant and, just the two of us, and we did our thing."
Family dynamics
They welcomed 2 children
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Nina, shortly after their wedding, followed by a son, Thomas Jr., in September 2020.
Despite their fame, they kept their family life private and lived on a farm in upstate New York.
In 2017, Sadoski called Seyfried "the person that I love, admire, respect most in the world."
