Amanda Seyfried has shared a sweet photo of herself cuddling her estranged husband Thomas Sadoski, less than two months after the pair announced their separation after nine years of marriage.
The 40-year-old Mamma Mia actress posted the black-and-white image on her Instagram Stories on Sunday 8 November, showing the former couple smiling and embracing. The photo came shortly after she reposted a message about making divorce a normal life transition rather than something surrounded by shame and negativity.
“Make divorce boring”
Seyfried first reposted a message from divorce consultant Olivia Howell about changing the way people approach the end of a marriage. “The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible,” the message read. “Because the system thrives on confusion and stigma, on making you believe you’re the first one to ever walk this road.”
The post sparked a wave of responses online, with fans praising Seyfried for treating divorce as a life transition rather than a failure. BuzzFeed reported that the message resonated widely, and Seyfried did not add her own explanation to the quote.
Still good terms
Seyfried and Sadoski, 50, confirmed their breakup in September 2026, revealing they had already been living separately for some time. “We have been separated for a while, and it’s proven to be the right move for us and our family unit,” they said in a joint statement to People. “We’ve got each other forever — and it’s GOOD.”
The pair first met while working together on the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By in 2015, reconnected romantically and married in March 2017. They share two children, daughter Nina, nine, and son Thomas Jr, six. In an October interview with WWD, Seyfried discussed how the separation had affected her decisions about accepting acting roles. The new photo does not suggest a reconciliation, but it shows a couple determined to stay close for their family.
The photograph is a reminder that some separations end with warmth rather than war — and that Seyfried and Sadoski intend to keep it that way for their children.
