Mandy Moore reflects on the 'sadness' of being done with pregnancy
Mandy Moore shared a moment of reflection, admitting it was difficult to accept that her journey with childbearing has come to an end.
The actress and singer reflected on the end of her motherhood journey through a short message on her Instagram stories.
"I'm at the OBGYN getting a checkup... I'm endlessly grateful for my beautiful family and there's a certain sadness knowing I'm done having babies and won't be pregnant again," she wrote.
"Any other moms feel this way?" she asked.
Moore shares three children with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith—sons Ozzie, 3, and Gus, 4, and daughter Lou, 16 months.
The two tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child three years later in 2021. Moore had her third child in September 2024 at the age of 40.
During her guest appearance on Kylie Kelce's podcast Not Gonna Lie, she was asked whether she had a lot of opinions about having Lou at such a late age.
"I feel like having my third child at 40, this term 'geriatric pregnancy' that's thrown around. 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," she said.
"I think the thing that I had the most trouble with is just like this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we're like too old and we're too complicated or high risk, and really, it's like, 'Nope, we're just human beings,'" she added.
Moore gained recognition for her starring role in the romantic drama A Walk to Remember. Her other film credits include 47 Meters Down, Tangled, and This Is Us.
