Amanda Seyfriend, 30, has been dating actor Thomas Sadoski, 40, officially since earlier this year. The two met in the spring of 2015 when they worked together on an off-Broadway play and were both with other people. Thomas was married for eight years at that point and Amanda was with Justin Long. Thomas announced his divorce in August of last year and Amanda split with Justin Long right around the same time. The timing was suspect but they waited months to post social media photos together and seem to keep a low profile overall. Plus they worked together again at the beginning of this year so their mutual splits may have been a coincidence. You can side eye the start of their relationship but we really don’t know how it happened and they’re not sharing much publicly.
Amanda was spotted out over the weekend with a ring on her left ring finger. It’s hard to tell from the photo on US’s site but it looks like a simple band with no stone. I’ve been going through photos of her (I included some in this post, below) and she’s worn similar rings recently, one which actually looks like an engagement ring, but never on that specific finger. Amanda’s rep confirmed to US that she’s engaged, and US is the same outlet that first reported the relationship:
Cue the wedding bells! Amanda Seyfried is engaged to her boyfriend, Thomas Sadoski, reps for the couple confirm exclusively to Us Weekly.
“Tommy and Amanda recently got engaged and shared the happy news with family and close friends,” a source close to the costars tells Us.
The couple first met in 2015 when they starred in the play The Way We Get By together, and then reconnected in the beginning of this year as they filmed The Last Word when they began dating.
On Tuesday, September 6, the Mamma Mia! actress, 30, was spotted walking her dog, Finn, in New York City and sporting a ring on her ring finger. All that was visible of her ring was a simple, thin band.
Us exclusively revealed in March that the two were dating. They were first spotted arriving to work together and playing with Finn on March 3.
So this is the version of events that Amanda and Thomas’s people are putting out, that they reconnected this year and got together when they were both single. That could be how it happened, and I like her and want that to be true actually. Congratulations to Amanda and Thomas! She talked last year about wanting to be a mother and how much she was yearning for kids so I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened soon for her.
This is why I like Amanda, because she has the most photogenic dog ever, an Australian shepherd named Finn. Let’s look at photos of Finn now because he is a beautiful dog with so much personality. Finn is Amanda’s true love! Thomas better not come between her and Finn.

Is it true she followed him to France when he was on an anniversary trip with his then – wife?
If Lainey’s blind is accurate, then yes. Hmmm.
That is a gorgeous dog though.
That has to be one of the most psycho and obsessed and disgusting things ever. Does she have no pride?
He didn’t know? I mean if he asked her and went along with it then its not crazy but its disgusting!
I have heard of men who take their girlfriends along on family vacations and have them at the same hotel or another floor. Ugh.
“We love each other,” the 27-year-old Lovelace actress says of Cooper. “He’ll always be in my life regardless of what his girlfriends or future wife think”.
Yeah, going by that quote on her ex Dominic Cooper a year later, I can totally believe that she is clingy and crazy.
Yeah, like Marla Maples and Donald Trump, right? She followed him to Aspen, where he was vacationing with Ivana, which is when the two ladies had a confrontation. So gross.
I’ve known of two people (not with each other) who’ve done this. I was gobsmacked.
Aww it’s cute that you believe the “official” story when in fact they both cheated on their significant others with each other and she followed him to Europe so he could get some on the side while he was on a family vacation.
How gross. They are both nasty. I don’t get why people can’t just break up out of the old relationship that they obviously don’t want to be in anymore and then move on. It’s not as if they’ll be excommunicated from the church or have to deal with some social stigma if they do a clean break. That makes me think that they just get off on hurting people.
+1
They deserve each other.
“How gross. They are both nasty. I don’t get why people can’t just break up out of the old relationship that they obviously don’t want to be in anymore and then move on. ”
Breaking up relationships is very hard and painful. It is hard when you know you are going to hurt another person. This is why people postpone it and then end up cheating. Then it is even worse.
I definitely stayed in some relationships longer than I wanted to because I couldn’t gather the strength to break it up.
Actually for this same reason I also avoided relationships unless I was 500% sure I wanted them, because the break up pain is just not worth it.
This. Sometimes separations can take years even after the relationship itself has ended. There are a lot of ways that people have to move apart from long-term relationships, and it involves complicated things with spouses, family, property, sometimes jobs or businesses… it is not easy, black and white, or fast.
This.
It can also be hard if one person wants to end it and the other really wants to fight to stay together. If you aren’t the type of person who can just cut and run you can spend many months stuck trying to convince someone you really do want out, and even when you do leave they’ll likely still spend a while thinking it’s a blip and you’ll be back.
Plus a lot of people view separation differently even if everyone’s talked it through. My ex is still convinced I cheated on him. We were still married when I started dating someone else, but at that point it had been 18 months since I’d left, and we’d had a year of legal wrangling and were nearing the conclusion of our divorce. But as far as he’s concerned we were still together, because in his head we were going to reconcile. To my mind we hadn’t been a proper couple for years and I was 100% over him and moved on by that point. A lot of people just don’t get the message until they’re ‘cheated’ on.
Honking for Finn! We need more Finn! Demanding more Finn!
And could somebody please reunite Amanda with her All My Children love interest Michael B. Jordan in a movie soon. Please! With Finn!
All I can see is FINN, don’t care about the two humans.
With you, lilac.
Honking for Finn. Who reminds me of our very first family dog who was part German shepherd, part Alsatian. Gone way too soon.
HONK HONK!
If they cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you. Can’t wait. I give this marriage 5 years and that’s generous.
Exactly I mean let’s be logical. Both cheated for the new relationship…already making them more likely to cheat again than the general populace. For one, the cheating may have been a once in a lifetime thing and they will never cheat again…but what are the odds they BOTH are one time only cheaters? Very, very low.
This happened to someone I know. She was engaged to one guy and went on a trip to hookup with another guy and got pregnant. She tried to pass off the kid for a bit but then ultimately married the guy who got her pregnant. He was living with someone at the time and already had a kid with someone else that he had stopped living with a while back. Two kids and about five years later, the guy shows up to the hospital to see the second child with the new girlfriend…. And within months that new girlfriend is also pregnant.
Even if nothing physical happened while they were doing the play, it seems like it was at least an emotional affair. Still unfortunate but I appreciate that they at least weren’t public with anything until after the split.
Finn is my fave! More Finn!
Eh — reading the other comments, it seems I was a bit naïve.
All I really care about is Finn, honk for Finn!
Honk for Finn, less so for Amanda cause this is what she does, watch this Also go nowhere whenever she gets into a new Job and has tons of Chemistry with her Co-star
Ooooh that’s right! Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia), Justin Long (He’s Just Not That Into You), now this guy. She has an MO yeah?
She wasn’t actually in that movie with Justin Long.
Which I am embarrassed to have even watched on TV.
She seems like someone who’s in love with love, less so with her actual partners. At least when something exciting comes along. I side-eye this hard. But I will always love her for telling the world she f*cked Alexander Skarsgard because that guy is a little ridiculous when it comes to “privacy”. Love him. But still.
Bet she’s already pregnant, he’s barely divorced so why the rush?
Adorable dog though!! I love him.
I like her a lot. I don’t really care how they got together as far as I’m not going to hold it against them as a couple, banning them to some scarlet letter on their back the rest of their relationship. It obviously wasn’t some long, drawn-out affair. Sometimes people are in a troubled marriage or relationship on its last legs and meeting someone is the catalyst, like Angie and Brad, Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson, etc. It is what it is. They seem very much in love.
I agree. I mean if they cheated that is super lame. However if they felt the feels and realized it was really reals
And made breaks with the respective partners what else can you say but
good for them.
I loved him in Newsroom and find them sexy together. I can see how this happened and bet they are going to crank out 2 babies before there are any bumps. If there are ever any bumps. Who knows they could be like Paul Newman and Joan Woodward.
Jess,
I agree with everything you wrote. I still think the mature, and ethical thing to do, is to leave your respective relationships and then move forward.
When I was younger, any of my friends who ever cheated on their boyfriends, did not want to leave their first relationship until they knew the guy they were cheating with wanted to be with them. I called it a selfish safety net, perhaps that is the case with some of these celebrity affairs, as well?
(Sorry, just released this was posted in the wrong spot).
Thank you for this input. I read a lot of Esther Perel and Dan Savage and am always curious to engage with other people who don’t put fidelity on a strict moral pedestal above other components of a relationship. I get very uncomfortable when even rumors of infidelity follow people around for the rest of their lives, like they’re deviants.
I think a lot of that backlash on cheating depends how they handle themselves after, plenty of famous couples have been able to recover after a scandal, but then you have a few like LeAnn Rimes who overly boast about it or taunt the ex and people can’t get over it. Brad and Angie are still looked down on for cheating even after all these years, it’s interesting to me.
I agree with this. I think this particular girl is a bit crazy in light of that Lainey Blind and an old quote about her ex, but on the general point on infidelity, I completely agree. I said as much in the Chris Evans and the Eat Pray Love articles. The only people who know the dynamic and what happened and why, are those in the relationship. Unless the person in question was some moraliser who judged others choices, I dont see why their decisions would change my view of them. I may not personally date them but I’m not gonna begrudge them their new happiness or badmouth them over it.
Jess and Naya, great points 🙂
But Brad & Angie didn’t cheat- he left Jen and started up with Angie, the “proper” way to handle it, IMO. Couples who actually cheated got less flack than them, but some people use ugly lies for PR attention- over & over, for years on end. There has NEVER been any proof of Brad & Angie cheating- even Jen & all her friends say that there was no cheating. There were cameras and video recorders way back in 2004 and yet no evidence whatsoever of this pretend cheating has ever been produced. Dominic C is pretty great (LOVE Preacher), and yeah, Amanda’s quote is CREEPY!
Love those writers. Esther Perel is a revelation.
I’m not saying they’re true, but there’s been blind after blind re: her and married men. This guy is def. not the first married guy she’s pursued. What goes around comes around. This will not last.
I must be the only person here that thinks 90 percent of blinds are bullshit and never pay attention to them.
I only follow Lainey’s blinds. Hers always seem to be accurate. And I’m only here for King Finn.
If not bullshit, then so incredibly vague they’re not worth the time to figure out. But I hate riddles, too, so to each her own. Everyone else: Please keep solving the blinds for lazy people like me.
FWIW Lainey also blinded her as having had a fling with married Peter Sarsgaard, supposedly when they did Lovelace together, which wasn’t that long ago. She somehow gets the goods on her a lot.
Amanda has dated some text book hotties over the years – Phillipe, Hartnett, Cooper, Long, Skaarsgard e.t.c And then ends up with a Mark Ruffallo lookalike!
It’s shallow of me to say but I see this all the time.
Anyway I personally think this engagement is about her very much wanting a family unit – she’s been open over the years about how much she wants children – rather than “I’ve found the love of my life” sitch.
Meh, I find Mark Ruffalo more appealing than any of the above…Have never understood the uproar over Skarsgard or Hartnett, both very average IMO. Ditto to Cooper, I find him straight-up weird looking. Philipe might’ve been considered hot 15 years ago but he’s long since lost his looks. I wasn’t familiar with Long but having just googled him I can’t imagine he would be considered a “textbook hottie” by anyone’s definition.
I will read Mark’s twitter feed every so often, because I love his passion for causes.
He melted my heart last week. He had tweeted a photo or two of his family swimming at I think their lake out in the country. He has a small, quaint place on a lot of acreage. One photo, if I remember right, was his son I think diving into the lake. He tweeted a close-up, outdoor photo of himself with his wife , captioned, “Me and my forever gal.” Awwwww!
She dated Alexander Skarsgard? I love him and I guess I missed that reported hook up. I know he was rumored to have been with Charlize Theron for a minute, talk about a stunning couple. But never heard about Seyfried.
BTW, the comment you made above about Amanda, could apply to Alex as well, as I will never get Alexa Chung.
@StarKiller –
Different strokes. Ruffalo is a big fat no for me.
Kinda like a bear who collects mouth spittle.
All of the above especially – Phillipe – top Ruffalo out look wise.
@Leann Stinks –
I will never get Alexa Chung either. Though she tried her schtick HARD for the US market.
Question, and perhaps this has been explained elsewhere, but what is the origin of her Instagram name?
Lol. I think Minge is a nickname her friends gave her. She even has a tattoo of it somewhere.
I don’t believe she/her pals knew what it meant when they assigned it to her since it’s not a very popular term in America. I first heard it during a particularly cringey love scene in the show Extras when Ashley Jensen’s date implores her, mid coitus, to “Put a bit of minge round it, love.”
This explains her Instagram name

I’m in love with her dog.
Is “following” really the right word if they had both agreed to meet there? Following makes her sound like a stalker against an unwilling participant, when it’s obvious they are both POS if that happened.
Not saying cheating always means you’re a horrible human being, but if done in this way…you kind of are.
Isn’t this the second time she’s had a questionable hookup while in a relationship with someone else? I admit I don’t see the appeal is chasing after bought goods.
It happens all the time. A married person falls in love with somebody else , divorce their partner and marries the other person.
What else are they supposed to do? Not fall in love with somebody else? Sure. That is a good advice. But often love sneaks in unnoticed and then it is too late to do anything about it other than be honest and divorce.
Of course a married person can fall in love, but being in love is not an excuse to be irresponsible or to hurt others. If there are children, they should be the priority.
I agree that kids should be the priority and that’s why divorce is sometimes the best option. Better than watch your parents fight every day for the rest of their lives.
I don’t know, but since they probably fell in love with their first partner and those feelings apparently faded, since they are now in love with someone else, I’d say that waiting it out may make their new ‘in love’ feelings go away as well. You don’t have to act on the new ‘in love’ feelings. What about thinking about what is needed to recapture those feelings in the current partnership, isn’t that an option too? Why should the new ‘in love’ feelings be given the priority, is my question. I guess I don’t necessarily agree it’s too late to do something about the previous relationship, barring things like abuse or if the relationship started when the parties were really young and dumb and didn’t have any real idea of who they were. People seem to fall in love really easily; I think I’m operating with a different definition for the word. This sounds more like the initial infatuation ended and people don’t know how to maintain that feeling in long term relationships, so they start up with a new person.
@Mae
“What about thinking about what is needed to recapture those feelings in the current partnership, isn’t that an option too?”
That should be never an option, in my opinion. It’s not like you can buy them back or make everything exciting and lovey-dovey again. I’ve tried it twice and if the spark is gone, is gone, it doesn’t work. In my original country we use an expression “re-warmed soup never tastes any good” and I agree. Plus it can easily lead to cheating as well, because it’s the fading out of those feelings who prompt people to look elsewhere.
I’m happy in my marriage and love my husband a lot. I wouldn’t even care about anyone else or even look at them at the moment, sorry…
Forcing two people to maintain those feelings is what leads to disasters usually and it also leads to a lot of resentment when they split up for the final time, just sayin’.
Shady but is somehow the norm. Congrats to these crazy kids. Hopefully she won’t stalk any other married dudes to foreign countries and he won’t put his peen in his costars till he leaves her. L’Chaim!
She is a douchebag magnet and has horrible taste in men. I do not get a good vibe from him. I had not known that he was married at the time he met Amanda, but if the rumors are true then this will end badly. I can already see her becoming pregnant right away and within two years announcing their divorce.
Darn it, that cheating rumour bums me out because I loved him in The Newsroom.
The photo of Finn wearing a hat is just precious. What an awesome dog and it looks like he’s very well cared for.
I waited to comment because I do like her as an actor but her track record on relationships with men is not the best. Even the way she talked about Channing Tatum after the movie they did together I considered inappropriate (speaking of how hot he was etc). She most definitely goes after married men and that usually makes me feel slightly uncomfortable for some reason. Maybe because I know how much work goes into a successful marriage. Respecting someone else’s relationship regardless of your attraction to them says a lot about your character. Not saying she cheated with her current guy but I wouldn’t put it past her either.
“Respecting someone else’s relationship regardless of your attraction to them says a lot about your character.”
This! Integrity is everything. And if you were merely physically attracted to someone married, but didn’t act on it, there would be no love – just lust. You can lust after someone without acting on it. If you act on it (with a married person), you are held accountable in my book. And that doesn’t mean just sex. It means stay the f–k away – no games, no trying to get noticed, no attention seeking, nothing. Otherwise, you’re a dog.
Finn is just too beautiful! I want a dog like him!
In 2009, Kaiser said, “You know who she (Seyfried) would be cute with? Shia LaBeouf.”
Haha. I was trying to figure out who D. Cooper was stepping out with while he was with Amanda and found an old CB article. Of course it was Ruth Negga. I hope he’s treating HER right at least…they’re so good together on Preacher.
She has serious issues. Karma will get her.
