Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski have carved out a tranquil life for themselves away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Nestled on a serene farm in upstate New York, the couple enjoys raising their two children, Nina and Thomas, while savoring nature’s peace.
Love Story Rooted in Theatre
Seyfried and Sadoski’s romance blossomed in 2015 while performing in the off-Broadway play The Way We Get By. Their chemistry was undeniable, leading to an engagement in March 2016 and a secret wedding in March 2017.

Their son, Thomas, followed in September 2020, adding to the joy of their family.
The couple’s decision to move to a farm was driven by their desire for privacy and a quieter lifestyle. In a conversation with SheKnows, Seyfried emphasized how the tranquility of nature helps maintain her mental well-being: “There’s so much peace that comes in from mother nature. It really is why I feel sane.” The farm offers the couple a sanctuary where they can nurture their children away from the relentless scrutiny of Hollywood.
