Amanda Seyfried on her engagement: I’ve never been more excited in my life

amandaseyfriedvogue
Amanda Seyfried is pregnant with her first baby, by her fiance Thomas Sadoski, and I assume she’s due around May considering we first heard about her pregnancy in late November. She’s covering Vogue Australia and I don’t know what she’s promoting exactly but she has a lot of films coming out this year. The photoshoot is designed to conceal her pregnancy and they did a good job with that but some of the photos are p0rny in that they pose her in weird vinyl tights with her legs splayed. In some photos in the print edition they even cut off her head, which is bizarre. You can see the pics on The Daily Mail, which also has some excerpts from the interview. She gets candid, as she’s known to do, and said that she’s so excited to be engaged but isn’t really looking forward to her wedding day as she doesn’t want to be the center of attention.

She’s really happy to be engaged and wants to be married
I’ve never been excited by anything more in my life. And ready. It’s nice to make a decision about something. It is like another adult thing that I feel like I’m doing and I am really confident doing. It’s nice to have an agreement.

On her engagement
It was a quiet moment. I’m not very romantic. I’m quite practical. But I love hearing engagement stories. Whenever a friend gets engaged I want to see the ring. I’m so excited to hear about something so dramatic and loved-up, but personally it would make me uncomfortable. I’m not even wearing a diamond.

On her engagement ring
I’ve been buying diamonds for years for myself and the last thing I wanted was for a man to buy be another diamond.

She’s not sure if she wants a formal wedding
I don’t want to be the centre of attention. I get to go to premieres and get dressed up all the time. went to the Met Gala last year in a wedding gown designed by Riccardo Tisci; I’ve played a bride a billion times.

She doesn’t sound really thrilled to be getting married despite the fact that she says she is. It’s like she’s trying to convince herself that she’s excited. Personally I was more excited about having a baby than I was about getting married, which I should have taken as a sign. Amanda didn’t talk about her pregnancy in this interview, which was conducted via Facetime. That may explain why it seemed so awkward to read. I mean I get the part about not wanting another diamond if you’re already rich and buying them for yourself, but maybe she should stay engaged for a while before taking the next step with Thomas. They seem to have jumped into things quickly.

    Her dog (and her evident relationship with him) is literally the cutest. And I’ve established, therefore, that she is lovely.

    I love people who love their dogs. (Mine ran away last weekend for 24+ hours so, the dog love is extra strong atm)

    • Snazzy says:

      Oh no! I hope he got home ok!

      • Clare says:

        Yes, thank god, he is home. He is 14 and it’s been cold and rainy here, so it was a tough few days of imagining worst case scenarios…but he is back and wagging his little bum as ever…my husband thinks he enjoyed his ‘adventure’. 🙂

    • Spikey says:

      +1 I only care about her – and watch some of her movies – because of Finn. Glad to read that your puppy made it home ok. It must have been hell for you!

    • SM says:

      That poor dog will be depressed when the baby comes.

  2. Tris says:

    What exactly is the intended message in this photo shoot with the sticky-outy plastic doll legs? Is it that she is a blow-up doll sperm receptacle, being pregnant?
    She used to be so lovely. Now just another skinny plastic doofus. Cute dog, though.

  3. MissMerry says:

    maybe they got engaged because she got pregnant? maybe she’s the type of woman who wants to be married to have a baby, even if the guy isn’t ‘the one’?

    just speculating. her dog is gonna be jealous of that baby.

  4. whyme says:

    I can’t get over the way she got with her fiance. And not just her, him too. It seemed sneaky and stinks of their cheating.

    And why get married at all? Ring? Blech. Talking about it? Blech. Wedding dress? Blech. Why bother talking about it at all. Sheesh.

    My husband and I got married by ourselves at a destination wedding. We didn’t have a wedding shower, etc. We did have a baby shower and I didn’t like being the center of attention at that but I just put up with it for family sake. But it sounds like she doesn’t find joy in anything except making an adult decision ???

    • MostlyMegan says:

      I agree. I can’t respect relationships that are started before one or both people are ‘free’ from the previous relationship.

      It never loses the stink of underhandedness, cheating, betrayal.

  5. Lucy says:

    I got the same feeling, but I think she’s referring more to everything that leads up to the actual moment (the preparation and anticipation, the party, etc). Like, she just wants to get it over with.

  6. Snazzy says:

    I will try to stay positive. I like the red lip. And the dog 🙂

  7. Red says:

    She looks great with red lipstick. I can’t seem to find any that match my skin shade so I’m quite jealous of those that do. I don’t care for cheaters, so this couple is bleh to me.

  8. Talie says:

    BlindGossip seems to be suggesting that the guy is still not divorced from his first wife.

    • Jayna says:

      They are divorced. The wife didn’t even hire a divorce lawyer. It sounds like they worked it out and divorced.

  9. Nancy says:

    Favorite Mean Girl ever. I bet she really can predict rain in her boobs!

  10. CharlotteCharlotte says:

    I hope they are happy together. I hope he doesn’t leave her for another younger smitten actress.

    I hope their baby grows up knowing love and good health.

    Okay, that’s as close to no judgement as I’m getting with this one.

  11. tealily says:

    Eh, I kind of get it. I had a low key engagement, too, and I was way more excited to get on with the marriage than I was to go through with the wedding part. We had an awesome party and it was great getting all my friends and family together, but the actual standing up in front of everyone and having them stare at me portion made me slightly uncomfortable. Good luck to them!

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      Agreed, same experience here.

    • Wilma says:

      Yes, we both felt like we were performing in a play, with all the random applause and such. Marriage itself is much easier!

    • I Choose Me says:

      Yes! Mine was a quiet civil ceremony precisely because I didn’t want to do the whole wedding drama and have people looking at me, with decorations and formal invites and what not. I wanted a stress free day and I got it.

  12. JulP says:

    I was the same way, I’m shy and hate being the center of attention so I was dreading my wedding day. Didn’t enjoy myself the day of, I was so nervous I could barely eat or drink. I love attending other people’s weddings though!

    I know Amanda’s love life is sketchy, but I’m still a fan. And maybe she doesn’t seem too excited about her marriage because her one true love is her dog 🙂

  13. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    I guess the plastic tights keep her knees from being functional joints?

  14. Fanny says:

    “Loved up”? I hate it when British and Australian publications change quotes into their own local lingo. It makes me wonder what else they have changed.

    As for Amanda, she’s so fickle. I think she’s one of those people who is moon-eyed for her boyfriend one day and then has completely lost interest in him the next.

  15. ell says:

    some people want to be married but don’t like weddings with all that entails. like i always hear stories of people saying they’re stressed out because if they invite that aunt then they have to invite that other aunt otherwise she’ll hate them forever etc. me, i’m happy to never get married ever and spare myself the trouble.

  16. Aysla says:

    Hasn’t she admitted she suffers from intense anxiety? I can see how she’s excited to be married, but is not that keen on the ceremonial part of it (as that involves being a focus of attention). For us shy, anxious, introverted types… the thought of a traditional wedding day just evokes anxiety and stress.

    When a man marries his mistress he only creates a vacancy!
    Good Luck girl!
