Amanda Seyfried posted a black-and-white photo of herself embracing estranged husband Thomas Sadoski on her Instagram Stories Sunday, tagging him in the image as the two smiled with their arms wrapped around each other.
The post came moments after Seyfried reshared a quote about ending marriages without acrimony. The message, originally posted by clinical hypnotherapist Olivia Howell, read: “The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible.”
“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.”
Seyfried, 40, and Sadoski, 50, 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. We’ve got each other forever — and it’s GOOD,” the couple said in a joint statement to People at the time.
A source told the Daily Mail the couple’s dynamic “shifted” after Sadoski stayed home with the children while Seyfried’s career took off. The insider said Sadoski “was left at home with the kids so he worked less and less,” calling Seyfried “the worker bee of the family” while her husband “was stuck with the young kids on the farm in upstate New York.”
“He was isolated,” the source said. “It’s not the best feeling for a man, especially for someone like Thomas, who is a very good actor and respected in the theater world and in TV, he had a big career. He has a Tony. He really gave up a lot to be with Amanda.”
Seyfried has said in a recent interview that she now only accepts acting jobs filming in New York and New Jersey so she can continue co-parenting with Sadoski. The two married in March 2017 and share two children, daughter Nina, 9, and son Thomas, 6.
