Actress-singer Mandy Moore just welcomed a baby boy. Last September, Moore and her husband Taylor Goldsmith announced that they were expecting and they accompanied the announcement with some sweet photos of her baby bump.
Following that, Moore has been open about her pregnancy and hopes as a parent. The 36-year-old told Romper that she wants to raise an intelligent, feminist, loving, compassionate young man who respects women and who understands boundaries.
Moore shared a cute photo of her first child in a onesie. Moore captioned the photo: “Gus is here. Our sweet boy, August Harrison Goldsmith. He was punctual and arrived right on his due date, much to the delight of his parents.”
“We were prepared to fall in love in all sorts of brand new ways, but it goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined,” added Moore, as reported by Buzzfeed on February 24.
