Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have separated after nine years of marriage. The actors confirmed the news in a joint statement to PEOPLE on September 15, 2026.
The couple said they had been separated for some time and described the decision as the right move for their family. They also made clear that their bond remains important to them.
The announcement ends a marriage that began after the two actors first worked together onstage and later reunited for the 2017 film The Last Word.
Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Confirm Their Separation
Seyfried and Sadoski confirmed their split after keeping their personal lives largely private.
In their joint statement to PEOPLE, the former couple said the separation had already been underway for a while. They also emphasized their continued connection as a family.
Neither actor has publicly provided a specific reason for the separation. They also have not publicly confirmed whether either has filed for divorce.
For now, their statement focuses on their family and their continued relationship with each other.
How Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Met
The pair first met in 2015 while appearing together in the off-Broadway production The Way We Get By.
At the time, they were both involved in other relationships. Their connection later developed when they reunited for The Last Word, in which they played romantic interests.
Their professional relationship eventually became a real-life romance. PEOPLE reported that they were dating by March 2016.
They became engaged later that year.
The Couple Married in 2017
Seyfried and Sadoski chose a private wedding rather than a large Hollywood celebration.
They eloped in March 2017. The intimate ceremony came shortly before the arrival of their first child.
Sadoski previously spoke warmly about their decision to marry privately, describing the ceremony as something that was simply about the two of them.
Their marriage continued away from much of the public spotlight.
Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Share Two Children
The former couple have two children together.
Their daughter, Nina, was born in 2017. They later welcomed their son, Thomas Jr., in September 2020.
Throughout their marriage, Seyfried and Sadoski generally avoided making their children a major part of their public lives.
They also balanced demanding acting careers with family life. The couple spent time between New York and their quieter life away from Hollywood.
Their Relationship Stayed Mostly Private
One reason the separation came as a surprise to many fans is that Seyfried and Sadoski rarely shared extensive details about their marriage.
They occasionally discussed parenting and their careers in interviews. However, they largely kept their family life out of the spotlight.
That approach continued even as both actors remained active professionally.
In January 2026, Seyfried spoke to Vogue about Sadoski’s support for her career. She said he had sacrificed a lot for her while she took on several professional opportunities.
The comments came months before the couple publicly confirmed their separation.
What Happens Next for Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski?
At this stage, Seyfried and Sadoski have not shared many details about what comes next.
Their statement indicates that they intend to remain connected as a family. However, they have not publicly discussed legal proceedings or provided a timeline for their separation.
The couple’s decision to keep those details private is consistent with how they handled much of their marriage.
For now, the confirmed information is that they have separated and believe the decision is right for their family.
A Marriage That Began With Acting
Seyfried and Sadoski’s relationship developed from a professional connection into a marriage and family life.
Their story began onstage, continued through a film project and eventually led to a private wedding and two children.
Now, after nine years of marriage, the pair are entering a new chapter while stressing that their family connection remains important.
Their joint statement gives little insight into the private circumstances behind the split, so further speculation about the reason for their separation remains unconfirmed.
