Amanda Seyfried says her relationship with former boyfriend and Mamma Mia! costar Dominic Cooper has evolved into a lasting friendship that now feels more like family.
Seyfried discussed their bond while attending the Hamptons International Film Festival, where both actors were promoting separate projects. The pair first met while making the 2008 musical and dated for roughly three years before splitting in 2011.
From romance to long-term friendship
More than a decade after their breakup, Seyfried described the relationship as familial. Their shared history stretches back to the movie that became one of the most recognizable projects in both actors’ careers.
The former couple have continued to cross paths professionally, including in the Mamma Mia! franchise, while building separate personal lives and careers.
A reunion at the Hamptons
Seyfried was at the festival for The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd, while Cooper attended with The Lightkeeper. Their overlapping appearances offered another example of the friendly connection they have maintained since their romantic relationship ended.
The comments provide a rare, direct update from Seyfried about a relationship that has remained a subject of fan interest since the original Mamma Mia!.
