Reflecting on a Challenging Year with Family
The “This Is Us” star, 41, took to social media to post a series of black-and-white images featuring her husband Taylor Goldsmith and their children—Gus, 4, Ozzie, 3, and 1-year-old Lou. In her caption, Moore touched on the adversity her family has faced, but emphasized the importance of gratitude.

“Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. The most grateful for these 4.”
Enduring the Los Angeles Wildfires
Earlier in the year, Mandy Moore and her family became victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. Their Altadena, California home faced severe destruction, narrowly avoiding total loss during the catastrophic blaze. On January 8, Moore reported that although the primary structure of the house was still intact, significant portions were destroyed, making the home uninhabitable.
Her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, lost his music studio, and parts of the garage and the back of their house were devastated. Following the wildfire, Moore and her family temporarily relocated to the home of a well-known friend while evaluating the damage and next steps.
Focusing on Moving Forward with Positivity
Despite dealing with upheaval, Moore continues to highlight gratitude for her family and the support system around her. As she and Goldsmith, along with their children Gus, Ozzie, and Lou, celebrate Thanksgiving, they are reminded of what truly matters. The difficult events of the year have brought the family closer, turning hardship into an opportunity for reflection and hopeful Thanksgiving gratitude moving forward.
