Husband, Boyfriend, & Dating History

Alexander Skarsgard

Amanda’s relationship with Alexander was one of her short-lived and earliest on her career.

She opened up about in an Elle interview in 2011, citing that they did date, but never getting serious enough due to her relationship with Dominic Cooper, which probably caused it to end.

Dominic Cooper

Amanda’s involved in an on-and-off romance with Dominic, her Mamma Mia co-star, throughout 2008 and 2009.

They called it quit and later, she revealed to Elle that her heart was “broken pretty hard” and it made her feel “really hard to open myself up to a new person.”

However, it doesn’t seem that the pair got on bad terms due to their separation as they became co-stars again in 2018 when appearing in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Ryan Phillippe

She got involved in a brief romance with Ryan in 2011.

According to her interview with Glamour UK in 2011, the fact that their relationship was put under heavy media scrutiny might take a toll on him and caused it to strain.

Amanda started dating Justin, who’s a comedic actor, in 2013. She revealed how their romance began after she shared a funny post on Instagram to him and became his mutual on the app.

Thomas Sadoski

Amanda met Thomas, her now-husband, in 2015 as they became co-stars in The Way We Get By play. At that point, he’s still with his ex-wife Kimberly Hope but separated in the same year.

Quotes

“Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It’s frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn’t. Exploring your sexuality is important when you’re growing up.”

“I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I’ve got all kinds.”

“If you can’t pronounce a word correctly, just don’t use it.”

“I’m a big fan of moustaches. I think it’s because – and this is not Freudian innuendo at all – my father has a moustache.”

“When you’re young, it’s hard not to get together with your costar.”

“I just did a five-day raw-food diet, but I’ll never do that again. It’s really hard! I’d wake up in the morning feeling great and go to bed feeling miserable, because dinner would be cucumbers, kale, and dressing. I mean, at the end of the day, if you can’t have a Girl Scout cookie and a piece of cheese, what is life all about?”

“I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I’m very liberal, and that doesn’t always go down well in the film industry – especially when you’ve got to appeal to mums and daughters.”

“Maybe I should drive a hybrid. I do have a shirt that says, ‘Go Green.’”
