Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski Split After 9 Years but Pledge 'We've Got Each Other Forever'

Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have confirmed they are separating after nine years of marriage, bringing their nine-year marriage to an end after a relationship that began on stage, grew through a Hollywood romance and eventually became a family of four.

The actors said they have been separated 'for a while' and described the decision as the right move for their family.

In a joint statement shared exclusively with PEOPLE on 15 September, the couple made clear that the split does not mean they are walking away from one another completely. 'We have been separated for a while, and it's proven to be the right move for us and our family unit,' they said. 'We've got each other forever—and it's GOOD.'

The announcement is particularly notable because Seyfried, 40, and Sadoski, 50, have largely kept their family life away from the spotlight. They share two children, daughter Nina and son Thomas Jr., and have spent much of their marriage balancing demanding acting careers with a quieter life on a farm in upstate New York.

Their statement offers no details about what prompted the separation, and neither actor has publicly alleged wrongdoing by the other. The couple's comments instead focus on their family relationship and the connection they intend to maintain.

Seyfried and Sadoski Confirm Their Separation

The couple's statement to PEOPLE is the first public confirmation of their split. They did not specify when they separated or whether either has filed for divorce, saying only that they had been apart 'for a while'.

Their wording also places their children and family relationship at the centre of the announcement. Rather than describing the end of their marriage in adversarial terms, the actors said the separation had proved to be the right decision for their 'family unit'.

That distinction is important because the couple have consistently presented their relationship as a partnership built around family, privacy and mutual support. Seyfried and Sadoski first met in 2015 while appearing together in the Off-Broadway play The Way We Get By.

They reunited later that year while filming The Last Word, where they played romantic interests. Their relationship became public in 2016, and they became engaged later that year.

They married quietly on 12 March 2017, in an intimate elopement. Sadoski later described the ceremony as just the two of them travelling into the countryside with an officiant.

'We just took off into the country with an officiant and, just the two of us, and we did our thing,' he said at the time. 'It was beautiful. It was everything that it should be.'

They Built a Family Away From Hollywood

Seyfried and Sadoski welcomed their first child, daughter Nina, shortly after their wedding in 2017. Their son, Thomas Jr., was born in September 2020, and the couple largely shielded their children from the intense attention that accompanies their careers.

The couple settled into a more private life in upstate New York, while their approach to parenting remained a recurring subject in interviews. In 2023, Seyfried described herself and Sadoski as 'yin and yang' when it came to raising their children, while both actors spoke about the importance of supporting each other professionally and as parents.

The couple's professional partnership remained visible even as their careers became increasingly busy. Seyfried thanked Sadoski during her 2022 Emmy acceptance speech after winning Outstanding Lead Actress for The Dropout, and the pair also appeared together at the 2023 premiere of The Crowded Room.

As recently as January 2026, Seyfried spoke warmly about the sacrifices Sadoski had made to support her career. In an interview with Vogue, she said he 'sacrifices a lot for me' as she took on several major projects, including The Testament of Ann Lee, The Housemaid and Long Bright River.

Why Their 'Forever' Message Matters

The comments came months before the couple publicly confirmed their separation.

They also help explain why their statement focuses less on the end of the marriage and more on the relationship that remains.

Seyfried and Sadoski have not publicly given a reason for their separation, and there is no confirmed indication that a specific incident led to the decision.

Their statement instead presents the split as a private family decision that had already been in progress for some time.

For a couple known for keeping their personal lives largely private, that small gesture is consistent with the message in their joint statement. Their marriage has ended, but their connection as co-parents and family members has not.

'We've got each other forever—and it's GOOD,' they said. That is the clearest explanation the actors have offered for their separation.
