Amanda Seyfried offers rare co-parenting update amid split from Thomas Sadoski... days after bizarre red carpet interview

Amanda Seyfried made rare comments following her shock divorce news from Thomas Sadoski as she offered a co-parenting update.

The 40-year-old actress, who recently gave a bizarre interview that left herself baffled, opened up about the topic during an interview with WWD that was published on Wednesday. 

Last month, it was revealed that the Golden Globe winner and Sadoski had split after nine years of marriage. The former couple are also parents to children Nina, nine, and Thomas, six. 

Seyfried explained that she has become more picky in regards to roles that she takes due to her main priority being her kids. 

'Things that shoot in New York, in New Jersey - that's very important,' the star told the outlet. 

'If it's shooting in Spain, we're not going to do it, because right now, the kids are a specific age, and my ex-husband's working, and I just want us all to be within the neighborhood of each other to keep things feeling safe and cozy.'

The Housemaid actress added, 'It definitely, definitely filters a lot for sure.' 

Daily Mail has reached out to reps of Seyfried for comment, but has yet to hear back.

Earlier this month, Seyfried also shared that she will no longer film sex scenes, explaining that they can be 'uncomfortable' at times while additionally noting that her kids are 'paying attention.' 

During a panel discussion at the Hamptons International Film Festival, the actress revealed that she recently turned down a role due to sex scenes, per People. 

'Our jobs are weird. And as I get older, it gets weirder. We have to be romantic with people that we're not romantic with,' the mom-of-two reflected. 

'Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's really uncomfortable. But I can't believe back in the day I was just like, "We gotta make out. Great! This is awesome. I know how to make out."' 

Seyfried noted that it had been 'fun' and 'a non-thing' in the past for her. 

But she 'passed' on a new show due to all the sex scenes, saying, 'I don't wanna do it. I'm uncomfortable with it. I'm not into it right now.' 

The Mean Girls actress added that she has 'kids now who are paying attention to what I do.' 

Seyfried also explained how she has a new rule about taking pictures with fans when she is out with her own children. 

'[If] I'm with my kids, I say no... whatever [they are] going through is more important than what I'm going through.' 

In September, Seyfried and Sadoski confirmed their split in a joint statement to People at the time. 

'We have been separated for a while, and it's proven to be the right move for us and our family unit.' 

The pair continued, 'We've got each other forever - and it's GOOD.' 

Seyfried and Sadoski first crossed paths back in 2015 while starring in the off-Broadway play titled The Way We Get By. 

The following year, it was revealed that the stars were officially dating and they eloped in March 2017.

Their first child, daughter Nina, was welcomed to the world nine days after the wedding. Their son Thomas was born in September 2020. 

Seyfried and Sadoski made rare red carpet appearances together over the years, with their relationship mainly staying out of the spotlight. 

However, on a few occasions, the actress had given insight into their quiet life on a farm in upstate New York by sharing snaps to Instagram. 

Over the past weekend, Seyfried glammed up as she attended the starry Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. 

She took part in a brief red carpet interview with The Hollywood Reporter that left some fans baffled or concerned. 

At one point, the actress later joked, 'What AM I even saying?' after the publication posted a video of the interview.

The conversation began when Seyfried was asked how her life was going, which caused her to reply, 'It's interesting,' followed by a small laugh.  

The interviewer said that it was hard to do interviews at the moment, and the actress agreed with the statement by adding, 'Yeah, but it's a… for a good reason.'

She then said, 'Like, I don't know, I think everything that's happening is meant to happen, everything - everyone that's in your life is meant to be in your life. 

'That's just kind of - it's - and I'm here tonight, I'm meant to be here, I get to go home tomorrow and I'm meant to be home and so on and so forth and then some.'

Seyfried also shared what she enjoys talking about, including 'the emus' and Halloween. 

'And you can engage with me if you want to talk about all things having to do with like apple pie and like olives and you know, like really good hard ciders.'

Fans offered their thoughts in regards to the interview on social media as one penned, 'Everyone should talk about emus with this man in all their interviews from now on.' 

Another typed, 'Is she in a movie but it's a surprise so we can't know about it? This is such an odd way to hold a conversation.'

One also wrote, 'I don't know what she's going through, but it's obviously something very heavy for her because she was on the verge of tears throughout that conversation.'
