Mandy Moore’s family enjoyed some time by the water on their recent trip to Mexico.
The Tangled actress, 41, shared an adorable photo of her family of five on Instagram on Thursday, July 31, as she recounted her time spent at the beach on vacation. In the sweet photo, Moore could be seen sitting in the surf alongside her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, while her son Oscar “Ozzy,” 2, hung on around her neck.
Sitting beside the star, her 4-year-old son August “Gus” was pictured squishing his hands into the sand and looking down. Goldsmith propped up the couple’s newest addition, 10-month-old daughter Louise “Lou,” as she sat in his lap.
Other snaps showed the family enjoying the beach and watching sunsets. “Nothing beats a beach vacation with some of your besties (here’s looking you at you @whatsgabycookin),” Moore wrote in her caption. “What an epic few days, @fspuntamita! We can’t wait to come back (Gus hasn’t stopped talking about it)!!”

Moore recently appeared on Kylie Kelce’s podcast Not Gonna Lie and was asked by the podcaster if she got a lot of opinions about having her baby daughter Lou when she was 40.
“Yes and no. I mean, I feel like having my third child at 40, this term ‘geriatric pregnancy’ that’s thrown around. I think at least in my experience, so many of my friends are having kids later in life, whether it’s by choice or it’s by circumstance or biology,” Moore began.

“I think the thing that I had the most trouble with is just like this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we’re like too old and we’re too complicated or high risk, and really, it’s like, ‘Nope, we’re just human beings.'”
“And I feel like it’s just such an outdated label,” she continued. “So it’s less about how I think the people and the perceptions they may have had, like the people in my life, it was just more about the healthcare system in general. It feels like such an outdated one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to just women in general.”
Earlier this year in May, Moore celebrated her first Mother’s Day as a mom of three by sharing an Instagram post dedicated to her mom, Stacy Moore, who also has three children. The carousel contained four throwback images of Mandy with her mom, one of which also included her grandma, Eileen.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures in our lives, including my own mama who juggled 3 kids effortlessly (HOW!??),” she captioned the post, before reflecting on her personal experience with motherhood.
“Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life and while you’re never off the clock worrying or stressing or planning, the quiet, unmistakable joy triumphs over everything else,” the actress continued. “I’m endlessly grateful to the moms in my life who model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey.”
