Mandy Moore recalls son's blunt question about her age
The actress revealed how she responded after her son Gus questioned whether being older meant she would die first
Mandy Moore is sharing a candid parenting moment after her eldest son caught her off guard with an unexpected question about mortality.
The This Is Us star revealed on Instagram Stories that her five-year-old son, Gus, recently asked whether she would die before his father because she is older than him.
"On our way to camp this morning Gus asked me if I was going to die before dad because I'm older than him," Moore wrote, adding with humor, "BURN."
The actress quickly reassured her son, explaining that she is only one year older than her husband, musician Taylor Goldsmith.
"I told him I'm only a year older than @taylordawesgoldsmith, geeez," she joked.
Moore, 42, and Goldsmith, 40, are parents to three children — Gus, 5, Ozzie, 3, and daughter Lou, 21 months.
The lighthearted family update came alongside another personal post in which Moore reflected on her postpartum body after welcoming three children in just three-and-a-half years.
Sharing a video on Instagram, the actress showed the loose skin on her abdomen and wrote, "After 3 kids in 3½ years, this is what my body is... loose skin and all."
She also gave fans an update on her fitness journey, admitting she is "super awkward and not a natural athlete" but remains committed to becoming stronger over time.
Moore has been open about motherhood and the challenges that come with it. Last year, she described being a mother as "the single greatest gift" of her life, despite the constant responsibilities that come with raising children.
She has also spoken about having her third child at age 40, criticizing the term "geriatric pregnancy" and calling it an outdated label that does not reflect the experiences of many women becoming mothers later in life.
