Amanda Seyfried has shared a tender photograph embracing her estranged husband Thomas Sadoski alongside a powerful message calling for divorce to be treated as an ordinary part of life rather than something surrounded by shame.
The Mamma Mia! actress, 40, posted the black-and-white photograph on her Instagram Stories on Sunday, 8 November 2026, showing herself and the actor, 50, smiling as they held each other. She also tagged Sadoski in the image.
The post came shortly after Seyfried shared a statement declaring that 'the most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring', offering a glimpse into the couple's relationship nearly two months after they confirmed their separation.
Amanda Seyfried shares a photo of her soon-to-be ex-husband, with a post that says: “The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible. Because the system thrives on confusion and stigma, on making you believe you're the first person to ever walk this road.”

Amanda Shares Powerful Message About Divorce
The statement Seyfried reshared was originally posted by relationship and divorce consultant Olivia Howell in September 2025 and challenged the stigma surrounding the end of a marriage.
It began: 'The most radical thing we can do is make divorce boring. Make it normal. Make it accessible'. Howell argued that the stigma surrounding separation can leave people feeling isolated and believing they are alone in navigating the end of a marriage.
The message also challenged traditional attitudes towards marriage and divorce, suggesting that treating the end of a relationship as an ordinary life transition could undermine established power structures. It concluded by describing patriarchy as having one of its most effective weapons in the stigma surrounding divorce.
The statement was Howell's, rather than an original declaration written by Seyfried, but the actress chose to share it with her followers shortly before posting the photograph with Sadoski.
The timing of the two posts was particularly notable, with the affectionate photograph offering a different public image of separation from the conflict often associated with the end of a marriage. Seyfried and Sadoski were pictured smiling and embracing, with the actress also tagging her estranged husband. While the image does not establish the private circumstances of their relationship, it offered a rare public glimpse of the pair together since announcing their split.
Inside Amanda and Thomas's Nine-Year Marriage
The actors confirmed their separation on 15 September 2026 after nine years of marriage, revealing that they had already been apart for some time. In a joint statement, they described the separation as 'the right move for us and our family unit'. They also reassured the public that they would remain connected, adding that they had 'got each other forever'.
The announcement made clear that, despite the end of their marriage, they intended to remain connected as a family. The couple share two children, daughter Nina, nine, and son Thomas, six, and have not publicly disclosed the specific reasons behind their separation. They have also not announced that their divorce has been legally finalised.
Seyfried and Sadoski first met in 2015 while starring together in the Off-Broadway play The Way We Get By. Their relationship later developed into a romance after they reconnected professionally while working on the 2017 film The Last Word.
They married in March 2017 in a private countryside ceremony attended by their officiant and Seyfried's dog, Finn. They welcomed their daughter Nina later that year, followed by their son Thomas in 2020. The couple have raised their children on a farm in the Catskill Mountains of New York, with Seyfried previously discussing the importance of balancing her acting career with family life.
Their separation has not been accompanied by public accusations or a detailed account of what went wrong between them. Instead, their joint statement stressed that they would remain connected as a family, while Seyfried's latest posts have brought renewed attention to the wider conversation about removing the stigma surrounding divorce.
