Mandy Moore Shares the “Tricky” Part About Her Acting Career

Mandy Moore is expressing her feelings about saying goodbye to a chapter of her motherhood journey.

The This Is Us alum shared she will likely not be pregnant again after welcoming children Gus Harrison, 4, Ozzie Bennett, 3, and Louise Everett, 16 months, with husband Taylor Goldsmith, detailing what it’s been like contending with this realization.  

“I’m at the OBGYN getting a check up,” Mandy wrote in a Jan. 5 Instagram Story. “I am endlessly grateful for my beautiful family AND there's a certain sadness knowing I'm done having babies and won't be pregnant again.”

The 41-year-old also asked her followers if there were “any other moms feel this way?”

This past year Mandy shared how excited she was to be celebrating her first Mother’s Day as a mom of three.

“Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life,” she wrote in a May Instagram post, “and while you’re never off the clock worrying or stressing or planning, the quiet, unmistakable joy triumphs over everything else.”

The Tangled actress also thanked the mothers in her life, writing they, “model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey.”

And the journey has been an interesting one for Mandy, who shared what it was like for her having daughter Louise slightly later in life.

“I feel like having my third child at 40, this term 'geriatric pregnancy' that's thrown around,” she explained on Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast in June. “I think at least in my experience, so many of my friends are having kids later in life, whether it's by choice or it's by circumstance or biology.”

“The thing that I had the most trouble with is just this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we're too old,” Mandy continued, “and we're too complicated or high risk, and really, it's like, 'Nope, we're just human beings.'"

Dad Genes

Mandy shared in a tribute to Taylor on Instagram, "You were writing songs about coaching Little League well before we got married so I had *some* inkling that being a Dad was something you would excel at but I truly had no idea just how exceptional and natural you'd be until we were in it."

Baby Love

"I marvel at all you bring to the table- your patience, your gentle nature, your willingness to change a diaper or get up with a crying baby without me ever asking or to run around and get in the dirt with a very active toddler at any moment," the actress continued in her message. "Your ability to get Gus to eat something he'd flat out refused with me or elicit Ozzie's immediate laughter, your music curation for our boys- which is TOP NOTCH… I could go on and on."
