Mandy Moore is serving up some realness straight from her Instagram Stories, and it's giving us life. Over the weekend, the beloved singer and actress shared a heartfelt moment with her fans, peeling back the curtain on her journey of self-acceptance post-motherhood. After welcoming three beautiful children into the world in just three and a half years, Moore reveals she's embracing every part of her postpartum body – "loose skin and all."
Dropping a video on July 16, the star candidly showed off her loose skin while standing in front of a mirror. "After 3 kids in 3 1/2 years, this is what my body is…loose skin and all," she captioned, inviting fans into her world with disarming honesty.
“Also I'm super awkward and not a natural athlete but I’m committed to getting stronger for the long run,” Moore said, sharing a video of herself hitting the pull-up bar.
Moore's fitness journey is as real as it gets. Alongside her body-positive share, she updated fans with a snippet of her working out – and let's just say, she's keeping it raw and unfiltered. "Also I'm super awkward and not a natural athlete but I’m committed to getting stronger for the long run," she added, flexing her determination in a pull-up video that’s refreshingly honest.
The actress also shed some light on her experience of having her kiddos – August "Gus" Harrison Goldsmith, 5; Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett Goldsmith, 3; and Louise "Lou" Everett Goldsmith, 1 – in rapid succession. Opening up on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast in June, she shared the emotional toll it took on her, still finding her footing post-baby boom.
Despite the whirlwind, Moore's heart is full. Her first Mother's Day as a mom of three this past May was nothing short of a lovefest. On Instagram, she celebrated with a carousel of sweet snaps and a caption that warmed hearts from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. "Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life," she wrote, pouring her love for her little ones onto the digital page.
Grateful for the tribe of "moms in my life," she added another layer to her story – a nod to the camaraderie and support that lifts her through motherhood's ups and downs. It's a SoCal vibe of community and gratitude, and we're here for it.
Moore’s journey of self-love and body positivity is a refreshingly candid tale that proves the only Hollywood glow-up worth having is the one that comes from within.
