Amanda Seyfried is closing the door on a marriage that lasted nearly a decade.
The split comes after years of marriage, two children, and a growing shift toward the life Seyfried has built around her farm in upstate New York. As her personal world changes, so too does the picture of what comes next for the actress.
Amanda Seyfried married actor Thomas Sadoski in 2017 after meeting while working on “The Last Word.” The couple went on to welcome two children and maintained a relatively private family life, even as Seyfried continued building her acting career.

After 9 years of marriage, Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have officially announced their divorce, quietly confirming that they have actually been separated for some time already. The news comes after the conclusion of a relationship that was mainly conducted behind the scenes of Hollywood.
The two were married in 2017 and have an interesting, albeit private, family life together, with two children. Now they have decided to split, which changes the family that they have created.
Rather than announcing a messy breakup, the pair described the separation in remarkably calm terms. Their joint statement made clear that the split was something they had considered carefully and ultimately believed was the right move for their family.
The Separation Had Already Been Underway For A While

According to PEOPLE, Seyfried and Sadoski said they had been separated “for a while” before the news became public. The couple also stressed that the decision had proved to be the right move for their family unit.
Their statement struck an unusually warm tone for a divorce announcement, with both actors making clear that their connection as parents would remain. “We’ve got each other forever—and it’s GOOD,” they said, signaling that the end of their marriage does not mean the end of their bond.
The timing of the announcement is also interesting, as the two were still frequently spotted together as recently as 2025. The news of their separation has been kept a secret for a while now, so it has been an interesting look behind the scenes for fans.

Seyfried and Sadoski first crossed paths while both were in other relationships, making the beginning of their story more complicated than their eventual marriage might suggest. The pair met while starring in the off-Broadway play “The Way We Get By,” but they never crossed a line during that time.
In a 2018 interview with Porter Magazine, Seyfried explained that Sadoski “never flirted” with her and “never disrespected his wife.” At the time, Sadoski was still married to casting director Kimberly Hope, while Seyfried was also in a relationship.
Their romance came later, after both relationships had ended and they reunited on the set of “The Last Word.” Seyfried said falling for Sadoski then felt “healthy and freeing and clean,” a description that makes news of their separation nearly a decade into their marriage all the more striking.
Seyfried’s Farm Life Became Her Escape From Hollywood

As the actress’s career grew, so did her desire for a life far removed from Hollywood’s constant pace. Her upstate New York farm gradually became more than a second home, giving her the privacy, peace, and nature she said she needed to feel more balanced.
In a 2024 interview with Forbes, Seyfried called moving upstate “the best decision” for her mental health and said the quieter setting offered “a more balanced life than the city does.” The Blast reported that she had made the 1930s farm her primary home while continuing to manage the demands of her acting career.
The farm also became a place for everyday family life, with Seyfried caring for rescue animals ranging from goats and chickens to horses and peacocks. As her Hollywood life kept moving, the rural home increasingly offered a different kind of rhythm, making her decision to put the Los Angeles property on the market especially notable.

Seyfried has been subjected to some scrutiny in the past, including when she left remarks on Charlie Kirk’s political record following his death. Her comment that “he was hateful” was met with backlash, with critics saying she had crossed a line by commenting on his controversial beliefs so soon after the shooting.
Rather than retreat, Seyfried pushed back against the reaction and called for more “nuance of humanity,” while acknowledging the wider grief over violent deaths.
The Blast reported that she later doubled down, saying she was “not f-cking apologizing” for her position and stressing that her comments were based on “actual footage and actual quotes.”
The episode revealed a side of Seyfried that has become increasingly clear over the years: she is willing to speak openly about deeply personal or divisive issues, even when doing so brings criticism. Now, as her marriage enters a new chapter, that same willingness to be candid remains part of the story.
Could Amanda Seyfried’s decision to embrace a quieter life away from Hollywood signal an even bigger new chapter now that her marriage has come to an end?
