Amanda Seyfried's daughter is a budding artist!

The Oscar-nominated actress could barely contain her pride as she took fans inside the cozy pied-à-terre she shares with her husband, Thomas Sadoski, their two kids, and her live-in mom Ann Seyfried. During the New York City apartment tour, she stopped by a watercolor painting by her daughter, Nina, and gushed about the six-year-olds "incredible" drawing talent.

Pairing a blue minidress with a yellow long-sleeved Brandon Maxwell top and white Stuart Weitzman boots, Seyfried beamed as she took Architectural Digest through her stunning NYC apartment.

After disclosing that she worked with General Assembly —  the same Brooklyn-based design outfit that designed her stone farmhouse in upstate New York, the "Mamma Mia" star kicked off the 12-minute 'Open Tour."

Although walking viewers through her living room, kids' bedroom and kitchen was a fun activity; the watercolor placed on a shelf in the dining room made the tour worthwhile for the 37-year-old. Pointing at it, she gushed:

"Oh, this is actually, my daughter's, like, old work. It was right when she started drawing people. This was years ago. My daughter's actually an incredible artist. It blows my mind. I was never that good."

Another highlight for the "Jennifer's Body" star was her "old table" from her apartment, now occupying space in the pied-à-tere's dining room. Explaining the importance of having the furniture in her temporary home, Seyfried stated:

"I will never part with it. Dinnertime is just oil and food on the floor and messiness, and a new stain is made. And a new memory is made, and that's just how we have to look at things."

Besides supporting Nina's artistic talents, the Allentown-born beauty had previously disclosed that she would back the preschooler if she decided to become a Hollywood star. Per The Blast, when she was asked if she would support Nina's acting if she showed interest in it, the Primetime Emmy Awards winner had declared:

"Totally. My husband's like, 'I'm terrified.' And I was like, 'Let her do what she's going to do. She's a f***ing child of actors. What do you expect?'"

The doting parent will be the best person to help Nina if she decides to pursue modeling or acting since her mother has been in the industry since she was 11. At that age, Seyfried began modeling before moving into soap operas and getting her big break in the hit comedy film, "Mean Girls."

Amanda Seyfried Nearly Lost Her Chance To Leave The 'Dumb Blonde' Stereotype Behind

Although she climbed to the top after playing Karen Smith in the beloved 2004 film, the "Lay All Your Love on Me" songstress shared that the role almost stopped her from getting offers for more serious parts. If you are yet to see the flick, Karen was a member of a clique of popular girls known as the Plastics. 

Despite being the "nice one" in the friend group, Karen was the most clueless of them, ultimately becoming the poster child for the term "dumb blonde." Seyfried shed light on how playing that role nearly stalled her career during a May 2022 interview, where she expressed:

"'Mean Girls' got me on the map; it really got my foot in the door. But getting pigeonholed was the thing you had to fight. Back in 2004, I had to be really careful to not just be 'the pretty blonde.'"

The "Slipping Through My Fingers" collaborator then detailed that accepting a role in the religious series "Big Love" opened her eyes to breaking away from the "dumb blonde" stereotype. She asserted:

"All the auditions I had for my first pilot season were just, like, blonde girlfriends. I wasn't going to be the lead because, for whatever reason, I didn't fit into that. I don't know what it was."

"At the time, I wanted to work, and I wanted to work with the actors involved. Luckily, I had opportunities that went a different way quickly, and I'm grateful for that," Seyfried concluded.
