Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have confirmed they are separated after more than nine years of marriage, saying the split has already proved “the right move” for them and their family.
The pair issued 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."
The announcement, first reported by People and carried by USA TODAY, ends a relationship that began on the New York stage and moved quickly into family life. Seyfried, now 40, and Sadoski, 50, met while appearing in the off‑Broadway production of The Way We Get By in 2015 and later co‑starred in the 2017 film The Last Word.
From stage pairing to family life
The couple’s private life nevertheless had public moments. In March 2017 Sadoski revealed on The Late Late Show With James Corden that they had eloped; a week later Seyfried’s publicist confirmed to USA TODAY that the actress had given birth to their daughter, Nina. Their son, Thomas Jr., was born in September 2020.
Details of the marriage were kept largely out of the spotlight, though the two occasionally shared glimpses of domestic life. Seyfried posted a light‑hearted image on Instagram Story of Sadoski with a bearded dragon on his shoulder, captioning it to underline a family joke about his reptile affinity.
Public support and professional esteem
Both actors have spoken warmly of one another in interviews and on red carpets. Sadoski has publicly supported his wife’s work, including charity activity with War Child USA, and Seyfried thanked him during her 2022 Emmys acceptance speech after winning lead actress for The Dropout. In a January 2026 interview with Vogue, Seyfried described how her husband “sacrifices a lot for me” as her career has evolved. The couple also made a joint red‑carpet appearance for The Crowded Room in 2023.
Despite their profile, representatives for the pair have been approached for further comment by media outlets and there is no additional public detail about the terms of the separation beyond the couple’s statement that the decision had been taken earlier and had been right for their family unit.
Timeline
| Year | Event |
|---|---|
| 2015 | Met while performing in The Way We Get By (off‑Broadway) |
| 2017 | Revealed they had eloped; daughter Nina born |
| 2020 | Son Thomas Jr. born (September) |

What next
For now, the pair have framed the split in familial and amicable terms. Their joint statement emphasises continuity: that they remain united as a family unit even while living separately. That phrasing echoes a pattern increasingly common among public figures who seek to protect children’s privacy while managing careers in the public eye.
- Relationship span: Met in 2015, married and eloped in 2017, separated in 2026.
- Children: Daughter Nina and son Thomas Jr.
- Public moments: Red‑carpet appearances, interviews, and Seyfried’s 2022 Emmys speech.
The couple’s modest, joint announcement leaves many personal details private. As with all celebrity separations involving young children, public interest will focus on how the pair navigate custody, work commitments and privacy — but for now they have asked simply to be allowed the space to manage their family affairs away from magnified scrutiny.
Further updates are likely to come through the couple’s representatives or confirmed outlets; no legal filings or additional statements had been published at the time of reporting.
