Mandy Moore Reflects on ‘Mourning’ Friendships as Motherhood Reorders Her Circle

Her new podcast remarks frame shifting ties as a normal part of parenting within a wider conversation that followed Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay.

Overview

  • Moore discussed the topic on the Conversations with Cam podcast in a clip shared exclusively with People on Jan. 14.
  • She said her closest relationships now tend to be with parents in the same stage of life, noting a natural bond when kids are the same age.
  • Moore described “mourning” how some friendships have changed rather than losing them entirely.
  • She shares three children — August, 4, Oscar, 3, and Louise, 16 months — with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith.
  • Her comments arrive as public chatter continues following Ashley Tisdale’s essay about leaving an unhealthy mom group, with online speculation and some celebrity denials but no on-the-record resolution about who was involved.
