Amanda Seyfried’s Isolated Christmas
When the Hartwell family’s holiday plans turned into a lockdown, the 36‑year‑old star had to spend the season apart from her husband Thomas and 15‑month‑old son Thomas.
The Sides of the Story
After Amanda caught a sneaky Covid exposure just days before she’d be eligible for a booster shot, she «minoped» this on Instagram: “It kills me that my girl and I are separated from her dad and brother this Christmas. It’s a s* time to be in isolation and it’s happening everywhere.”
She then went on to say, “I’m trying my very, very best to find the beauty, adjust to the reality, and make incredible memories of our barn holiday, but it’s f hard. And that’s okay too. Happy Christmas to all. Hold the people you can hold tighter, even tighter.”
What Happened?
- Smith’s daughter, Nina, age 4, was also tied down in quarantine.
- They all had to stay in a separate little hut while the rest of family was at a different house.
- Meanwhile, Amanda herself was signing up for a “booster” yet her timeline temporarily clashed with her covid‑bite.
Is the six‑month rule really that strict?
A Came‑to‑Life Moment
Just a few weeks earlier, Amanda was feeling glued to her phone when she received her Oscar nomination—while battling a nasty bout of Covid. “I turned my phone off the night before because I was like, ‘If anyone’s going to tell me I got an Academy Award nomination or didn’t, I want it to be my mother. . . . But I was also sleeping in because I had a tough case of Covid,’” she recalled.
Mank & The Oscar Nod
She snagged her first Academy Award nomination for portraying Marion Davies in David Fincher’s “Mank” via her mouthbroad, her star‑cleef tragedies and playful talent. She’d had a rough flu earlier, but the headline buzz kept her moving ahead.
Final Thoughts
What began as a simple holiday turned into a full‑scale COVID saga that gave the family a strange, yet memorable break from the everyday routine. In case you ever need a lucky spread of “good luck” at the same time as the next vaccine cycle, your full-time homestead has to come brighter than ever. Happy holidays, folks!
