They say life lessons propel you to where you need to be, and Mandy Moore might agree. While Wilmer Valderrama proved to cause a difficult time in her early relationship history, Moore then went on to marry singer Ryan Adams in 2009. But that didn't work out as planned, either. The "This Is Us" star maintains Adams was "psychologically abusive" and controlling (via The Sun).
"I felt like I was drowning," Moore said. "It was so untenable and unsustainable and it was so lonely. I was so sad. I was lonely with him" (via CNN). Moore divorced Adams in 2016. However, there may be another reason why Moore divorced Adams. According to The New York Times, Adams was accused of exchanging sexually suggestive tests with an underage teen fan.
After a very dark time, Moore found love again with musician Taylor Goldsmith. The couple married in 2018 and soon after shared exciting family news. Moore gave birth to son, August Harrison Goldsmith, in February, 2021. On Father's Day, Moore posted a pic of her husband and son, affectionately known as Gus on Instagram. "Let's face it, I'm pretty sure you were always destined to be a dad," she wrote. "But watching you step into this role with so much confidence and ease and patience and adoration for our sweet guy just astounds me and has made me fall deeper in love than I ever thought possible. Gus and I are so truly lucky to be on this journey of life with you."
