Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski split after 9 years of marriage

Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have split after nine years of marriage.

The 40-year-old actress and Thomas, 50, have been separated "for a while" and they consider the split to be the best move for their family.

In a statement given to People, the former couple said: "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."

Amanda and Thomas met for the first time back in 2015, when they worked together on The Way We Get By, an off-Broadway play.

They got engaged later that year, before eloping in 2017.

Thomas said at the time: "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 beautiful. It was everything that it should be. It was just the two of us talking to each other."

Meanwhile, Amanda — who has Nina, nine, and Thomas, five, with Thomas — previously revealed that her entire lifestyle has been transformed by her experience of motherhood.

She also admitted that she cherishes her "alone time".

Amanda — who has previously dated Dominic Cooper, Desmond Harrington and Justin Long — told People: "I sit and I crochet, or I go to the gym in the barn, or I go out to coffee with a fellow parent or a friend upstate."

She has learned to enjoy some of life's simple pleasures, like knitting, since becoming a mother for the first time in 2017. She previously admitted to suffering from anxiety and panic attacks.

She said: "I get a lot of alone time on a train when I go to the city. If I have to go to the city, I take the train. And I get like an hour and 40 minutes of alone time each way. And I'm always crocheting. Knitting, crocheting, that's my lifestyle."
