Mandy Moore Is Now A Mother Of Three: Singer Gives Birth To A Daughter

Singer and actress Mandy Moore is a new mother once again!

The 40-year-old "This Is Us" actress and musician announced the birth of her third child with her husband, Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith, on Instagram Wednesday. The couple are parents to two sons, three-year-old August 'Gus' Harrison, and one-year-old Oscar 'Ozzie' Bennett Goldsmith.

In the caption of the black-and-white shot, the "Candy" singer announced the healthy Louise 'Lou' Everett Goldsmith had joined her parents and brother earthside and the family is quite "obsessed" with their newest addition!

In an intimate black-and-white shot, the couple announced the arrival of their third bundle of joy! The photo was taken by the couple's doula,

"Lou is here! Louise Everett Goldsmith arrived happy, healthy, expeditiously and right in time for Virgo season. She is our absolute dream girl and her big brothers are already as obsessed with her as we are. Endlessly grateful for our family of 5 (and our very own big three) and soaking in every moment of this special time," concluding her post with several heart emojis.

Several of Moore's friends and former castmates commented their well wishes, including former "This Is Us" castmates Chrissy Metz and Susan Kelechi Watson. Celebrities including Sophia Bush, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Minka Kelly, and Moore's former "Tangled" co-star Zachary Levi, also showered the couple with excitement!

The Goldsmiths frequently share their lives on 'the 'gram' with their fans and followers, and Moore's third pregnancy was no exception!

In August, the "Just Maybe" singer shared a reel featuring a compilation showing off her baby bump, featuring a vintage filter, which gave the short clip an extremely vintage feel.  Moore proclaimed in the post's caption she and Goldsmith were "in the final stretch 0f waiting for [their] little lady to join the party."

Three months earlier, Mr. and Mrs. Goldsmith revealed the news of their pregnancy with a sweet snapshot featuring Gus and Ozzie. The Goldsmith brothers were wearing t-shirts that read "big" and "middle!" Moore wrote, "Sometimes life imitates art. The third in our own big three coming soon. Can't wait for these boys to have a big sister!"

Fans of Moore's blockbuster TV show "This Is Us" will undoubtedly remember how special of a reference "The Big Three" is. "The Big Three" was the nickname Moore's children on the show (played by Metz, Sterling K. Brown, and Justin Hartley) shared. The series, which ran from 2016 until 2022, followed the Pearson family through multiple decades of their lives. Moore played the Pearson's matriarch, Rebecca; viewers watched Rebecca meet and fall in love with husband, Jack, played by Milo Ventimiglia.

Moore, Brown, and Chris Sullivan (Toby) currently host a podcast called "That Was Us," where the trio revisits the iconic show. Several special guests stop by weekly: Ventimiglia appeared in the studio earlier this Summer!

Before Moore was able to find her bliss as a mother-of-three in her marriage to Goldsmith, she was married to rocker Ryan Adams.

The "Fifteen" singer wed the former Whiskeytown frontman in 2009. As previously reported by The Blast, Moore has been open about her former marriage to the "Jacksonville" singer. She deemed their union, which officially ended in 2015, "not the right situation by any means."

The "Walk To Remember" actress described her feelings around the marriage as being a "direct response" to her parents' decision to divorce after decades together. Moore described herself as being "just so heartbroken" over the dissolution of her parents' marriage that she "could make a family with this person for this person," she told the hosts of the "Dinners on Me" podcast. "And it just was obviously not the right situation by any means. But I also think it happened at a time where I was like, ‘I am ready to power everything down," Moore concluded.

Moore called the beginning of her marriage to Adams "a perfectly appropriate time to get married and focus on this very personal, quiet chapter in my life," but she was ultimately left in "a really hollow, empty, isolated place."

When looking back on the union, Moore added that this chapter in her life now feels "so weird, because I think back to that chapter, and it almost feels like someone else entirely that it happened to because I'm in such a different place in my life."

With a new perspective along with her marriage to Goldsmith, the "Walk Me Home" singer went on to say she thinks "How did I ever do that? How did I ever find myself in that place where I allowed myself to be treated that way that I viewed myself that way?"

In 2019, Moore was one of seven women who came forward to The New York Times in a profile of Adams, which detailed the musician's treatment of women.

The "Extraordinary" singer revealed Adams had been "manipulating, controlling, and obsessive," adding his "controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a pivotal and potentially lucrative time- my entire mid-to late 20's."

Moore released only two records in the late aughts before she quietly took a hiatus from releasing new music: 2007's "Wild Hope" and 2009's "Amanda Leigh." Since her marriage to Goldsmith, Moore has put out two LPs: 2020's "Silver Landings" and "In Real Life," released two years later.

Moore and Goldsmith may have three fetal collaborations together now, but the couple also likes to bring out the guitars and create some lovely music together!

As The Blast previously reported upon the release of "In Real Life" two years ago, Moore and Goldsmith shared snippets of then-unreleased songs on Moore's Instagram and have also shared photos of themselves performing on stage.

"Nothing better than being onstage with my love. Even when I have zero voice, being by your side carries me through it..." Moore wrote in the caption of a black-and-white photo featuring Goldsmith playing guitar and Moore singing.

Moore and Goldsmith connected nearly a decade ago in a modern musical meet cute on Instagram! Moore posted a screenshot of the Dawes LP, "All Your Favorite Bands." The now-Mrs. Goldsmith wrote, "Aaaaand it doesn't disappoint. This one's been on repeat all morning. Happy to have a new record to fall in love with. Congrats @dawestheband. #newmusic#allyourfavoritebands" (previously reported by The Blast)
