Mandy Moore Announces Birth of Third Child: ‘She Is Our Absolute Dream Girl’

And baby makes five. Mandy Moore is celebrating the birth of her third child with husband Dawes singer/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith. In a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday (Sept. 25) featuring the smiling singer cradling her newborn and Goldsmith leaning in to share the joy, Moore wrote, “Lou is here! Louise Everett Goldsmith arrived happy, healthy, expeditiously and right in time for Virgo season.”

At press time Moore had not revealed when the baby was born, but the 40-year-old singer and This Is Us star is clearly smitten with her bundle of joy. “She is our absolute dream girl and her big brothers are already as obsessed with her as we are,” Moore said of the newborn who joins her two big brothers, Gus, 3 and Ozzie, 1. “Endlessly grateful for our family of 5 (and our very own big three) and soaking in every moment of this special time.”

Back in May, Moore posted a pic of the boys (with Gus rocking a “Big” T-shirt and Ozzie holding his hand and wearing a “middle” shirt) with the caption, “Sometimes life imitates art. The third in our own Big Three coming soon. Can’t wait for these boys to have a baby sister.”

Moore got lots of love from former This Is Us co-star Chrissy Metz, who commented, “Awww, Lou! Congratulationssssss!!!,” with additional congratulations from Zachary Levi (“You got your own little Rapunzel!!!!”), Sophia Bush, Ashley Tisdale, Chelsea Handler and many more.

Last year, Moore appeared in Disney’s live-action/animated crossover comedy short Once Upon a Studio as Rapunzel (see joke above). She also co-starred in the second season of the Peacock true crime anthology Dr. Death, which focused on disgraced Italian thoracic surgeon Paolo Macchiarini, who was convicted in 2022 of research-related crimes in Italy and Sweden involving synthetic trachea transplants.

Moore’s most recent album was 2022’s In Real Life; the video for the album’s title track featured the singer and Goldsmith playing music and taking care of Gus while joined by a bunch of celebrity friends, including This Is Us co-stars, Matthew Koma and Hilary Duff, Wilmer and Christian Valderrama, Amanda Kloots and Karamo Brown and others.
