The ‘This Is Us’ actress shares sons Ozzy and Gus, as well as daughter Louise, with husband Taylor Goldsmith
While appearing on Kylie Kelce’s podcast Not Gonna Lie on Thursday, July 17, the This Is Us actress, 41, was asked by the podcaster if she got a lot of opinions about having her now 7-month-old daughter Louise “Lou” Everett when she was 40.
“Yes and no. I mean, 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,” Moore began.
“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complicated or high risk, and really, it’s like, ‘Nope, we’re just human beings.'”“And I feel like it’s just such an outdated label,” she continued. “So it’s less about how I think the people and the perceptions they may have had, like the people in my life, it was just more about the healthcare system in general. It feels like such an outdated one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to just women in general.”Moore went on to say that having gone through three pregnancies now, she feels like women’s bodies are an afterthought after giving birth.“And I actually partnered with this company, Perelel, last year when I was pregnant with Lou,” she said. “And I love that there are these companies like Perelel that are really focused on rewriting the rules of what it looks like to care for women and advocating for, really for funding of women’s health.”

This past May, Moore celebrated her first Mother’s Day as a mom of three by sharing an Instagram post dedicated to her mom, Stacy Moore, who also has three children. The carousel contained four throwback images of Mandy with her mom, one of which also included her grandma, Eileen.”Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures in our lives, including my own mama who juggled 3 kids effortlessly (HOW!??),” she captioned the post, before reflecting on her personal experience with motherhood.
“Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life and while you’re never off the clock worrying or stressing or planning, the quiet, unmistakable joy triumphs over everything else,” the actress continued. “I’m endlessly grateful to the moms in my life who model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey.”
