Amanda Seyfried is sharing a rare glimpse into her relationship with her estranged husband, Thomas Sadoski.
The Dropout star, 40, reshared a post to her Instagram Story on Sunday reflecting on the end of a marriage.
“The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible,” said the quote, which was initially posted by divorce coach Olivia Howell.
The quote 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 the next post on her Story, Seyfried shared a picture of herself with Sadoski, 50, who she married in 2017. The pair are seen smiling and hugging each other in a black-and-white photo.
The actors announced their separation 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,” Sadoski and Seyfried said in a joint statement to People at the time. “We’ve got each other forever — and it’s GOOD.”
The actors met while co-starring in an off-Broadway play The Way We Get By in 2015. They later reconnected while making the 2017 film The Last Word.
They were married in March 2017 and welcomed their daughter Nina that month. The former couple shares two children together: Nina, now nine, and six-year-old Thomas Jr.
Seyfried and Sadoski, who is known for starring in The Newsroom, kept their family live private over the years. They moved on to a farm in upstate New York, with Seyfried occasionally sharing pictures of their life with their children and animals online.
In a 2024 interview with Forbes, the Mean Girls star recalled how she first started looking for a new home while living in New York City, ultimately finding a farm in the Catskills that was the perfect spot for her.
“I moved upstate long before I had a family,” she explained. “Staying here was the best decision for privacy, peace and nature. It offers a more balanced life than the city does.”
In a recent interview with WWD, Seyfried said that she only takes on projects that film in New York and New Jersey in order for her to properly co-parent with Sadoski.
“If it’s shooting in Spain, we’re not going to do it because right now, the kids are a specific age, and my ex-husband’s working,” the Golden Globe winner said.
