Happy birthday Mandy Moore! The actress turned 42 on April 10, 2026, & you can see all of the photos of her from her younger years to today.

Mandy Moore is a singer and actress who first rose to fame in the late ’90s with her debut single “Candy,” released in 1999. After launching her pop career, she transitioned into acting in the early 2000s, appearing alongside Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in The Princess Diaries before taking on leading roles in films like A Walk to Remember and How to Deal. More recently, she earned widespread acclaim for her role as Rebecca Pearson on This Is Us, which wrapped in 2022, while continuing to release music.

Off-screen, Moore has experienced both highs and lows. She divorced her first husband, Ryan Adams, in 2015 and later married Taylor Goldsmith in 2018. The couple now shares three children: son August “Gus,” born in February 2021, son Oscar “Ozzie,” born in October 2022, and daughter Louise “Lou,” born in September 2024.

Moore has been open about how motherhood has reshaped her life, calling it “the single greatest gift” and embracing this busy chapter of raising three young kids.
