She has always been sweet as candy ever since she burst onto the music scene as a teen in the late '90s with her catchy bubblegum pop music among the height of many blonde pop stars taking over the airwaves. Mandy Moore has captured hearts over the last two decades not only with her delectable music but also through her award-winning role on This Is Us.
He has been an Indie rock favorite since the early aughts with multiple records in his rearview mirror, and now his present view involves Moore in his passenger's seat. Mandy Moore found love again with Dawes lead singer Taylor Goldsmith, and the duo is living a musical dream life together! Here's what we know.
Music may have felt like a sour note for Mandy around the time she was looking for new tunes to add to her collection. Moore married Ryan Adams in 2009, at a point when Adams was well-established in his career and continuously releasing music, but for Mandy, music took a backseat once she got married.
After Ryan filed for divorce in 2015, Mandy found herself listening to Dawes, and she let her fandom be known on Instagram, leading to a connection with Taylor.
Falling in love with a touring musician who is constantly traveling definitely requires some wiggle room to be implemented on the road to finding your soulmate. When Taylor and Mandy were finding their footing within their blossoming relationship, they needed to find a way to stay connected while living miles apart.
An essential element Mandy and Taylor utilized to propel their relationship forward was by using FaceTime. According to Country Living, Mandy described their FaceTime dates as lasting "For hours!"
The timing of Mandy and Taylor's love story could serve as hypothetical lyrics to many-a-love songs. Happiness inspired by their blossoming romance was also marked by a tinge of sadness.
Mandy's divorce from Ryan Adams caused a lot of sadness and deep emotional navigation through a tough situation. By the time divorce papers were filed, Mandy had met and connected with Taylor, and his presence was extremely healing for her. According to Glamour, Mandy describes Taylor's influence as being "Steadfast in his support" of her.
We know Mandy and Taylor met on social media after Mandy posted about her appreciation for his band Dawes, and Taylor slid into her DMs; Taylor worked his charms on Mandy and the pair progressed from a 'textationship' to hanging out in person.
When Mandy felt comfortable enough to share the news of her new relationship with the world, the first glimpse of her new man came courtesy of Instagram, where she shared a snap of her and her new beau playing Scrabble together!
It didn't take long for Taylor to progress from a man Mandy was chatting with behind a screen to the man who would end up putting a ring on it.
The pair were dating for two years before he popped the question. Not only did Mandy share her great news with family, friends, and fans, there was an important group of people in her life she couldn't wait to share her joy with. Mandy's co-stars on This Is Us were on hand to celebrate!
Acting is an instrumental element of Mandy Moore's career, and so far in her relationship with Taylor, she has been able to incorporate the acting element of her career into their marriage. Mandy and Taylor have frequently posted videos on social media of the two of them performing music together, but Taylor has also contributed his musical talents to Mandy's acting career.
He wrote a song for Mandy's character on This Is Us called Invisible Ink, to sing in a pivotal moment for her character.
Let's be real; It's a fan's dream not only to meet their favorite band but to have the opportunity to collaborate with them would be the icing on the cake! Having your husband be the frontman of your favorite band can't hurt either.
Dawes, of course, was an instrumental part of Mandy's love story with Taylor. Taylor incorporated his wife and professional life together for the music video for the 2018 Dawes track Roll With The Punches, even acting as if they were splitting up!
Taylor and Mandy's collaborative effort for Mandy's character on This Is Us, really charmed fans and Mandy's co-stars, (her TV husband Milo Ventimiglia was really taken with the song!) and played an instrumental role in Mandy's character Rebecca's development in the story of how she blossomed into the beautiful singer that her future husband saw performing by chance one night.
In order to get to know Rebecca's mind, Taylor and Mandy had several conversations before he began working on the song.
Mandy and Taylor may have recently celebrated their first year of marriage and have settled into a lovely life together she frequently shares on social media, but that doesn't mean comfort has overtaken their sense of romance and spark!
Life as Mrs. Goldsmith constantly gives Mandy something to look forward to, because her husband always manages to surprise her. She candidly shared with People Magazine how much she enjoys "Learning so much about" Taylor, especially during the current reality of our culture of isolating together.
The influence of This Is Us has not only been instrumental in Mandy's personal life, but the groundbreaking series has provided viewers worldwide with the opportunity to start conversations about the concept of family, and perhaps expand upon everything fans have known about the so-called 'traditional' definition of family.
Adoption plays a crucial role in the plot of This Is Us, and its influence has translated into Mandy's real-life marriage. She opened up to Glamour, revealing adoption is a goal for her and Taylor.
