Amanda Seyfried, who once charmed audiences as Sophie in the Mamma Mia series, has blossomed beyond her cinematic roles. In 2021, she earned her first Oscar nomination for her performance in the 2020 film "Mank." However, her personal life remains distinctly private, aside from her adoration for her beloved dog, Finn.
In the heart of her personal narrative lies her relationship with husband, Thomas Sadoski. The two first crossed paths on the set of "The Way We Get By" in 2009, but it wasn't until March 2016 that their romance became public. By September 2016, they were engaged, and in early 2017, they celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Nina.
Seyfried and Sadoski didn't merely become co-stars in life by chance. Their connection deepened when they co-starred again in "The Last Word" in 2017. Seyfried shares how their relationship flourished without guilt or hidden agendas, marking a healthy and freeing chapter in their lives.
Their nuptials were a low-key affair held in Topanga, California, right before their daughter's birth. Seyfried humorously recalls wanting to have rings on in the hospital, underscoring her desire for a tied bond. The couple later celebrated their union at Cheebo, a cozy spot on Sunset Boulevard.
Sadoski, originally from Texas, ventured into acting with unwavering determination, earning accolades like a Tony nomination for "Reasons to Be Pretty." He's known for roles in "The Newsroom" and "John Wick," yet it's his personal ethos that stands out. In 2017, Sadoski took a stand by supporting Jessica Walter against bullying, an act that cost him a job but showcased his integrity.
“I'd rather speak up and lose out. Integrity, ladies and gentlemen.”
This commitment to doing right isn't just professional. Sadoski and Seyfried are active as ambassadors for War Child, a nonprofit dedicated to helping children in conflict zones. Their efforts included leading a major donation campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic, a cause Sadoski is particularly passionate about as a father.
Through the years, Seyfried and Sadoski have celebrated milestones, from anniversaries to public appearances like the premiere of "The Crowded Room," a series they both starred in. Despite their public roles, they prefer a life out of the spotlight, focusing on their family and farm in upstate New York.
Seyfried candidly speaks about her journey through therapy and couples counseling, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and relationship growth. Her experiences in the past decade have bolstered her confidence in tackling life's challenges alongside her husband and children. "Life might get harder, but I'm ready for it," she explains, thanks to the groundwork laid in her 30s.
