Mandy Moore is growing and glowing.
One day after announcing she is pregnant with her third child, the actress took to her Instagram Story to give fans a glimpse of her baby bump.
“Last night’s lewk,” she penned atop a mirror selfie that showed her cradling her bump while rocking a cheetah print and lace dress. “Guess I don’t have to try to camouflage anymore.”
Moore shared the news of her third pregnancy Friday by showing her two sons, August and Oscar, rocking “big” and “middle” shirts in an Instagram post.
She revealed she would be welcoming a girl in the caption.
Moore, 40, revealed her pregnancy Friday by sharing a snapshot of her two little ones, August and Oscar, wearing “big” and “middle” brother T-shirts.
“Sometimes life imitates art. The third in our own Big Three coming soon,” she captioned the sweet picture, referencing her onscreen children in “This Is Us.”
“Can’t wait for these boys to have a baby sister. 💓💓💓.”
The “Cry” singer shares 3-year-old August, nicknamed “Gus,” and 19-month-old Oscar, nicknamed “Ozzie,” with her husband Taylor Goldsmith.
Moore has been vocal about wanting to become a mother for years.
In January, she candidly reflected on the time a doctor told her she likely would not be able to carry children.
During her reflection, she described being a mom as “a beautiful, messy, sleepless gift.”
She and the Dawes frontman tied the knot in 2018 after dating for three years.
Earlier this year, Moore candidly reflected on once being told she would be unable to become pregnant after dreaming of motherhood her entire life.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mom. … there was a time when I thought I might not be able to have kids,” she wrote on Instagram in January. “I remember when the doctor told me there was a slim chance of getting pregnant… and then lo and behold to our surprise, I became pregnant with Gus.”

“Motherhood is a beautiful, messy, sleepless gift and to have two kiddos under two…whew!!!” she raved.
Moore also credited playing Rebecca Pearson on “This Is Us” with preparing herself for the challenges and joys of motherhood.
She wrote, “Rebecca Pearson said it best: ‘It’s my job to keep standing there with my arms wide open, waiting for you to maybe someday fall inside if you needed it. And if you do, I’ll love you. And if you don’t I’ll love you too — because that’s what it means to be a parent. You’ll see one day.’”

“And to that I say, Rebecca, I see it!” she added.
Moore shared a similar sentiment in 2018 when she spoke about wanting to be a mom.
“Maybe there’s some sort of natural maternal side that’s able to come to the surface because of this role,” she theorized.
