Who Is Amanda Seyfried Married To? Everything We Know About Her Love Story with Thomas Sadoski
Amanda Seyfried and her husband, Thomas Sadoski, raise their two kids away from the spotlight. Here's what we know about their relationship and the couple's children.
Amanda Seyfried made her mark on Hollywood as one of the four popular students in “Mean Girls.” She also starred in several other on-screen productions, such as “Mamma Mia!” and “Dear John,” making her an A-list star with a career that has spanned nearly two decades.
Although she likes to stay out of the tabloids, many can't help but wonder what the actress' life is like behind the scenes. In an interview with Marie Claire, Seyfried shared about her life in the spotlight and away from it.

As a mother of two, Seyfried tries to shield her kids from prying eyes and give them a normal life. She knows what growing up in the limelight is like and said:
“It must make you feel completely unsafe in the world. I see these younger actors who think they have to have security. They think they have to have an assistant. They think their whole world has changed. It can get stressful.”
Fortunately, her husband, Thomas Sadoski, knows the feeling as an actor himself. Here's a closer look at Sadoski and his marriage to Seyfried.

HOW DID AMANDA AND THOMAS MEET?
A few years before, Sadoski and Seyfried met in the off-Broadway production “The Way We Get By.” She admired how the actor respected his then-wife and helped her when she had panic attacks. She said:
“We were both in bad relationships. [He] never flirted, never disrespected his wife. That was another reason why I thought, later on, that I could marry him.”
The pair reconciled in the 2016 movie “The Last Word” when they were both single. A month later, speculation about their dating surfaced on the internet.

AMANDA AND THOMAS' SECRET WEDDING
After a few months, they were engaged and more in love than ever. The pair secretly tied the knot in 2017 and welcomed their first child shortly after. Sadoski said in an interview:
“We eloped. We just took off into the country with an officiant and just the two of us, and we did our thing. It was everything that it should be. It was just the two of us talking to each other.”
Seyfried wanted to be married by the time she gave birth in case of any complications during labor. They tied the knot in Topanga, California.

The couple is parents to Nina Seyfried Sadoski and Thomas Seyfried Sadoski. Nina was born in March 2017; her mom was nine months pregnant during the wedding.
Three years later, in September 2020, Seyfried and Sadoski welcomed their second child, Thomas.
The previous year, the actress was unsure about having another child. “I want to get pregnant again, but I'm not ready just yet to have a second,” she said.
The power couple is not the only pair who wed in secret while expecting a child. In 2014, “Avatar” star Sam Worthington married his wife, Lara, in a private ceremony in Australia while she was six months pregnant.
