Any day now, actress and singer Mandy Moore is going to become a first-time mom. She's expecting a baby boy with her husband, singer Taylor Goldsmith. It's unclear how much Mandy plans to share about her newborn with the world. Some celebrity parents prefer to never post photos of their kids and some inundate their followers with cute snaps. But Mandy Moore did love to show off her baby bump on Instagram, so perhaps she'll be equally as forthcoming with photos of the actual baby.
For fans of Mandy's, it's really exciting to see her become a mother. She plays one on TV on This Is Us (mom to triplets, actually), but now is her chance to be a mom in real life too. She's been documenting her pregnancy journey for all her followers on Instagram — after first announcing her pregnancy in September 2020 — and she seems so excited.
Here are some of her best bump pics to date.
The Announcement
In September 2020, Mandy Moore shared the happy news of her pregnancy with her Instagram followers. "Baby Boy Goldsmith coming early 2021," she captioned the photo of her and her husband Taylor Goldsmith. There's just a hint of a bump in the photo, and Taylor proudly put his hand there.
Jumping for Joy
A month later, Mandy posted an outtake from her original announcement photoshoot. It featured her jumping into the air, a big smile on her face. Mandy wrote, "Finding the joy in these crazy times can seem like another job in and of itself. I love this picture that @photobyjennajones took a few weeks ago because it perfectly illustrates the gratitude I have for so much, including this healthy little boy in my belly."
Pretty in Pink
Click through these photos that Mandy posted on Instagram of her bright pink suit to see her growing bump from the side. She was about 22 weeks at the time this picture was taken, and she was still able to sort of disguise her bump under strategic clothing choices. (On another note, this suit is absolutely fire on her.)
Baby's First Awards Show
In November of last year, Mandy Moore attended the People's Choice Awards on behalf of her show This Is Us, and she showed off her growing bump on the red carpet. What a change her belly underwent from her suit photo! The bump was on full display in this chic, form-fitting dress. She looked absolutely radiant.
Standing Out On Stage
During the People's Choice Awards, Mandy ended up winning The Drama TV Star of 2020 for playing Rebecca Pearson on This Is Us. That meant her bump got to shine on stage as she gave her acceptance speech. Imagine not even being born yet and already (kind of) getting to witness Mom getting an award.
Bumpin' in a Skirt
The actress Zoomed into The Kelly Clarkson Show in late November, and she wore this pretty purple ensemble with a shiny skirt that perfectly accentuated her bump. Click through to see her bump from the side, it's getting so big! We love the tall black boots, too. Overall, it's a really fun fall look.
Comfort First
However, when it came time to actually tape her segment, Mandy decided to change out of the skirt and go with sweats instead. After all, viewers would only be seeing from her waist up! "#ComfortFirst" she hashtagged the photo. Anyone who's ever been pregnant would definitely agree with her there.
Suited Up
Another TV appearance, another stunning outfit. She went with this chic suit for a segment on Late Night with Seth Meyers. This time it seems she kept both the top and pants on the whole time. Click through her Instagram post to see another shot of her growing bump. It was harder for her to camoflauge it with the blazer this time around.
30 Weeks
As she entered her third trimester, the actress was glowing. "30 weeks with this tiny kickboxer. #grateful," she captioned a selfie of her belly. She then joked that everyone needed to ignore the messy bathroom behind her. Mission accomplished, because all we can focus on is her little one growing away.
Ready To Travel
She's not going anywhere right now, but Mandy is prepared for whenever traveling is safe again. "I am holding out hope for many more adventures in 2021," she captioned this photo of her with her suitcase. Her belly is really making itself known in her dress, and perhaps her little one will even get to join her on her 2021 travels.
Hanging With Her Pup
We bet that Mandy's dog is going to be so protective over her baby when the little one is born. Her pup is looking at Mandy so lovingly already. We can't really see the actress' baby bump in this picture, but trust us, it's there! She wore a flowy dress to accomodate her third trimester tummy.
All Dressed Up
She's sure out of the sweats now! For this photo, the actress stunned in a chic black-and-white dress with matching heels and a headband. She proudly put her hands on her belly as she posed. We have to say, her kid is going to be seriously stylish, because Mandy's own sense of style is superb.
Maternity Shoot
Mandy brought back the same photographer who did her announcement photo to also take some maternity pictures of her. The little one will be born practically any day now. "Almost there," Mandy teased in the caption of this ethereal photo. When they talk about a pregnancy glow, it's this.
Ready To Pop
Sure, Mandy may be shouting out the dress she's wearing in this picture, but all we can focus on is her baby bump. She's so close to the finish line now, and we are so excited for her to become a mom. She's had a lot of practice on This Is Us, and it's time for her to get to experience the real thing.
Return of the Fake Belly
Even after Mandy gives birth to her son and isn't pregnant anymore, she'll likely have to put her fake belly back on to play pregnant Rebecca in flashback This Is Us scenes. At least then she'll get to take the bump off when she's done filming, and it's probably nowhere near as heavy as a real one.
