Amanda Seyfried is sharing some insight into her bond with estranged husband Thomas Sadoski.
On Sunday, November 8, the Testament of Ann Lee actress took to her Instagram Story to repost a quote ruminating on ending a marriage amicably.
“The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible,” the quote, initially posted by relationship and divorce consultant Olivia Howell, read.
It continued, “Because the system thrives on confusion and stigma, on making you believe you’re the first one to ever walk this road. But when divorce becomes just another life transition — like a wedding, like a graduation — the patriarchy loses one of its most effective weapons.”
In a subsequent Instagram Story, Seyfried, 40, shared a black-and-white photo of herself and Sadoski, 50, and tagged the Newsroom actor in her post. In the picture, the pair can be seen hugging and smiling for the camera.
Seyfried announced her separation from Sadoski in September after nine years of marriage.
“We have been separated for a while, and it’s proven to be the right move for us and our family unit,” the couple said in a joint statement to People at the time. “We’ve got each other forever — and it’s good.”
Seyfried and Sadoski first met in 2015 when they played a couple in the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By. Seyfried was dating actor Justin Long at the time, while Sadoski was married to Kimberly Hope, whom he divorced later that year. The pair later reconnected while shooting the 2017 film The Last Word.
Amanda Seyfried is refreshingly candid in an era where many in Hollywood try to avoid causing controversy at any cost. Whether she is fearlessly broaching hot-button political issues or coming to the defense of her costars, Seyfried is never afraid to share her opinion. Seyfried even acknowledged during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in […]
“[He] never flirted, never disrespected his wife,” Seyfried told PorterEdit in 2018. “That was another reason why I thought, later on, that I could marry him.”
“It was amazing. It felt healthy and freeing and clean,” she added of their eventual romance. “We can tell the story without any guilt.”
Seyfried and Sadoski got married in March 2017, the same month that they welcomed daughter Nina, now 9. The couple later welcomed son Thomas Jr., 6, in 2020.
In January, Seyfried praised her husband for stepping up while she navigated a busy period in her career, including hit movie The Housemaid and her Golden Globe-nominated role in The Testament of Ann Lee.
“[He] sacrifices a lot for me,” she told Vogue at the time. “He also knows that, in this moment, the opportunities I’m being afforded are insane.”
Seyfried shared that she often says “no” to work offers so she can be present for her kids.
“My world’s moving so fast, and there’s so many things I have to do each day,” she responded when asked whether her kids understand her career. “And there’s no way I can express what I’m doing. I just make very clear every day: ‘I really would rather be home with you.’”
