Mandy Moore embraces postpartum body with "loose skin and all"
Los Angeles, July 17
Actress Mandy Moore has shared a candid glimpse of her postpartum body, embracing the physical changes that followed the birth of her three children and saying she is committed to becoming stronger, according to E! News.
The This Is Us star took to Instagram Stories on July 16 to post a mirror video showing her stomach, proudly embracing what she described as her "loose skin."
"After 3 kids in 3 1/2 years, this is what my body is.... Loose skin and all," Moore wrote, according to E! News.
The actress, who shares sons Gus and Ozzie and daughter Lou with husband Taylor Goldsmith, later shared another video of herself working out in the gym.
In the clip, Moore performed a series of strength-training exercises and admitted that fitness has not always come naturally to her.
"Also, I'm super awkward and not a natural athlete, but I'm committed to getting stronger for the long run," she wrote, according to E! News.
Moore also gave fans a light-hearted glimpse into motherhood, recounting a conversation with her eldest son, Gus.
"On our way to camp this morning, Gus asked me if I was going to die before dad because I'm older than him. BURN," she wrote.
She added, "I told him I'm only a year older than @taylordawesgoldsmith, geez."
The actress has frequently shared moments from her parenting journey on social media.
Earlier this year, Moore and her family also returned to their Altadena home after it sustained significant damage during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
Reflecting on rebuilding their home and returning to the community, Moore said she feels proud to call Altadena home.
"Overwhelmingly, you feel so proud to live here and so proud to stake your claim here... I feel like it's gonna bring everybody that much closer," she said, according to E! News.

Honestly, this is wonderful. In India, we put so much pressure on new mothers to look perfect immediately. My wife went through the same thing after our daughter was born. It takes time and that's okay. Mandy is showing real strength here, not the fake Instagram perfection.
Three kids in three and a half years? That's intense! As someone from a big Indian family, I know exactly how much work that is. More power to her for being open about the loose skin and working out. We need more celebrities like this who show the real side of motherhood instead of airbrushed perfection. ♥️
I appreciate the honesty but is this really news? Every woman's body changes after childbirth, that's natural. We don't need to make a big deal out of it either way. Let's normalize both the struggle and the recovery without turning it into content.
As a fitness instructor in Mumbai, I see so many new moms struggling with body image. Mandy's message is exactly what they need to hear. It's not about looking like you never had kids - it's about getting stronger for your children. The gym video at the end was inspiring! 🏋️♀️
The part about her son asking if she'd die first because she's older - that's so relatable! Indian kids ask the most awkward questions too 😂 Also glad to see her family returned home after the wildfires. That must have been terrifying rebuilding from scratch.
