Amanda Seyfried SPLITS from husband Thomas Sadoski after nine years of marriage
Amanda Seyfried and husband Thomas Sadoski have split after nine years of marriage.
Seyfried, 40, and Sadoski, 50, revealed they have been separated ‘for a while’ as they confirmed their split in a joint statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday.
‘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,’ they said in their statement.
The Mamma Mia! actress shares two children with Sadoski: daughter Nina, nine, and son Thomas, five.
The pair were last pictured together at an event on January 9, when Sadoski joined the actress at a party celebrating her Golden Globe nomination for The Testament of Ann Lee at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Seyfried and Sadoski’s representatives for comment.

The duo met in 2015 while starring together in the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By.
Seyfried previously shared that they were both in ‘bad relationships’ when they first met.
They tied the knot during a private ceremony in California back in March 2017, just days before the birth of their daughter.
Recounting her wedding day, she told Net-A-Porter’s digital magazine PorterEdit in 2018: ‘We got married in Topanga, March last year. Just the two of us. And afterwards, I was like, “Can we just go to Cheebo?” It was awesome.’
For Seyfried, it wasn’t at all a difficult decision to eschew the glitz and glamour of an extravagant wedding – the kind embraced by so many of her contemporaries in Hollywood – as she’s used to playing dress-up so frequently in film.
‘I get married all the time,’ she said. ‘I was in a wedding dress last week! I also go to premieres where people take my picture. I just don’t care about all that stuff.’
The star, who was nine months pregnant at the time she tied the knot, had very practical reasons for wanting to get married ahead of giving birth.
She explained: ‘I really wanted to have rings on in the hospital, you know? And what if something goes wrong, and he’s not legally my husband?’

Seyfried, who has previously dated her Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper and actor Justin Long, also revealed that she was impressed when she first met Sadoski, because they were both in ‘bad relationships – but he didn’t flirt with her.
She said of the timing of their first meeting: ‘We were both in bad relationships…[Thomas] never flirted, never disrespected his wife. That was another reason why I thought, later on, that I could marry him.’
And once Sadoski ended his eight-year marriage to casting director Kimberly Hope, Seyfried shared that it made things ‘healthy’ and ‘freeing’ when they started dating in early 2016.
‘It was amazing,’ she said. ‘It felt healthy and freeing and clean. We can tell the story without any guilt.’
At the time Seyfried also admitted that her husband’s age is exactly what drew her to him, telling PorterEdit: ‘I told my husband: “If you were any younger, I wouldn’t have married you.”‘
