All About Amanda Seyfried’s Ex-Husband Thomas Sadoski Amid the News of Their Split

It’s been rumored for a minute now, but it seems the rumors are true: After nine years of marriage, Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski are going their separate ways. The two confirmed the news to People in a joint statement, saying, “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.”And if you’re like, “Uh, I didn’t even know that Amanda Seyfried was married??” then we’re here to catch you up to speed. She and her now-ex Thomas have the NYC theater scene to thank for introducing them, as they met when working on the Off-Broadway play The Way We Get By back in 2015. By early 2017, the couple married and welcomed daughter Nina. They have since welcomed a second child (a baby boy named Thomas), but—just weeks after the news broke that Amanda was selling her $3.2 million L.A. home, sparking breakup rumors—the couple revealed that they’re calling it quits.Our next question: Who exactly is Thomas Sadoski? Here’s what we know:He’s a Southern boy at heartBorn and raised in Texas, he decided during his high school years that he wanted to pursue his dream of acting. Although he did try college for a semester (“things didn’t really work out for me, and it didn’t really work out for them,” he told WWD in 2010), he eventually enrolled in NYC’s Circle in the Square Theatre School.Christopher Polk/NBC//Getty ImagesHe’s most famous for his role in The NewsroomAaron Sorkin fans absolutely know Thomas, as he’s most recognized for portraying executive producer Don Keefer in the hit HBO series The Newsroom, which ran for three seasons from 2012 to 2014. The series follows a group of journalists as they prepare for a nightly news show. Thomas’s character (while a bit brash and overly cocky about his romances with fellow colleagues) is the show’s unsung hero.Oh, forget me blabbing—stop what you’re doing and just binge it already!He also has acting credits on stage and in filmYou don’t think he’s just had success on TV, right? He’s starred in a number of blockbuster movies, including the first two John Wick movies and the indie film Wild. His true success lies in his stage career, with way more credits to his name than we can possibly count.Oh, and he received a Tony nom for his role in 2009’s Reasons to Be Pretty.This was Thomas’s second marriageAnd his attitude toward his previous relationship is actually one of the things Amanda liked about him when they first met. As Amanda told PorterEdit in 2018, she was respectful of her now-husband’s relationship when they first worked together, although she took note of how respectful Thomas was toward his ex. She said it was “another reason I thought, later on, I could marry him.”Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin//Getty ImagesHere’s hoping these two are able to move forward as amicable co-parents.
