The Off-Broadway was the ideal setting for Amanda Seyfried (40) and Thomas Sadoski (50) to live a platonic love while performing 'The Way We Get By' in 2015 in New York. At that time, both were in relationships, but once the actress separated from Justin Long and the actor from his wife Kimberly Hope, they began to see each other regularly. The filming of the movie 'The Last Word' was the catalyst for their story to gain strength.
In March 2017, they exchanged vows. "We eloped to get married," Sadoski confessed on 'The Late Show with James Corden'. There were no guests. Only the officiant, the actress from 'Mamma Mia!' and the baby they were expecting. "A few days later, Nina (9) was born.
Almost a decade later, their fairy tale has come to an end, as Seyfried and Sadoski confirmed in an exclusive statement to 'People': "We have been separated for some time, and it has proven to be the right decision for us and our family. We have each other forever, and that's great!" The couple also has another child, Thomas, who is 6 years old.
Following the success of 'Mamma Mia!', Amanda became a global star, although she was already known in the United States for her recurring role in the soap opera 'As The World Turns'. Aware that media attention could interfere with their private life, after solidifying their relationship with Thomas, they decided that it was best to distance themselves from Hollywood. Therefore, they settled on a farm in northern New York where they also took care of their animals.
The couple, whom the actress once referred to as "the yin and the yang," complemented each other perfectly in raising their children and supported each other in their respective jobs. Shortly after saying "I do," Sadoski revealed that "she is the person I love, admire, and respect the most in the world."
For years, Amanda has been committed to children in war-torn situations, so she collaborates regularly with INARA - providing urgent medical assistance to injured children and victims of conflicts - and War Child USA, a non-profit organization that protects children and their families in conflict zones such as Sudan or Afghanistan, to which Thomas has also offered his help.
A few days ago, Seyfried presented her latest film, the thriller 'The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd,' at the Toronto Film Festival. As for Sadoski, his next project is a dramatic comedy titled 'Jill Takes a Break.'
