Why did Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski 'drift apart'?
What's the story
Hollywood actors Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski recently announced their separation after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple, who eloped in 2017, share two kids: daughter Nina (9) and son Thomas (5). An insider told the Daily Mail that the pair had "drifted apart" due to Seyfried's busy acting schedule.
