Amanda Seyfried was grateful to have time at home after her marriage ended.
Amanda Seyfried needed “to be home” after her split from Thomas Sadoski.
The 40-year-old actress confirmed in September that they had split after nine years of marriage, and she has focused on her personal life to make sure their nine-year-old daughter and six-year-old son are being taken care of in the wake of the breakup.
Reflecting on her desire to help the award season campaign for You Can See Everything, she told The Hollywood Reporter: “That doesn’t mean I’m going to do everything I did last year, because I’ve had a year, an interesting year personally.
“And as grateful as I am that I am where I am, my priorities are pretty clear.
“The fact that they [A24] didn’t need me to be involved in the press up until this point has been a godsend, because I’ve been needing to be home.”
Amanda seems to be feeling philosophical about the situation because she recently insisted “everything happens for a reason”.
In a separate chat, she told THR last month: “It’s interesting, yeah, it’s interesting.”
She then agreed with the outlet that it is hard to give interviews at the moment and added: “But, for a good reason.
“I don’t know, I think everything that’s happening is meant to happen [and] everything, everyone that’s in your life is meant to be in your life. That’s just, kind of, and I’m here tonight.”
The Mean Girls star joked there are a number of lighter topics she’s happy to talk about at the moment.
She quipped: “I like to talk abut the emus, and I like to talk about Halloween and you can engage with me if you want to talk about all things like apple pie and olives and really good hard ciders.”
Amanda and Thomas confirmed their separation in a joint statement.
They 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.”
The pair 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.”
