It’s a family love: This Is Us star Mandy Moore says her 15-month-old son Gus is “like a little parrot” and loves music just as much as his parents!
With two singer-songwriters as parents such as Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith, their son Gus have music in his blood!
“He has no choice,” says the This Is Us actress, whose new album, In Real Life, will be released Friday. “He loves it when Dad plays the guitar and when Mom and Dad sing to him. But the gibberish songs I sing to him while I’m changing his diaper, those will live in our house only!”
There’s one song written while the couple were trying to conceive Gus
In Real Life Moore collaborated with Goldsmith and members of his band, Dawes. The album features very personal songs, including one that was written while the couple were trying to conceive Gus, while also navigating life during the pandemic.
“It’s the last song on the record and it was really about us grappling with what was happening in the world and also grappling with the fact that we wanted to start a family and it wasn’t happening,” says Moore. “When that monthly reminder would show up, I would be devastated.”
Writing the song, “Every Light”, “was our way of staying hopeful,” continues Moore. “It was this ode to the future child of ours, we’re here, we’re waiting for you whenever you’re ready. It’s the most personal song but it also started the journey of us making this record.”
Now that Gus is here, “we’re just having so much fun,” says Moore of new motherhood. “He’s walking now, he’s talking. He gives kisses, and he’s like a little parrot. He loves the moon and every day he wakes up and says, ‘Moon go away?’ It’s just the best.”
