How Mandy Moore Met Taylor Goldsmith: A Modern Love Story
Mandy Moore’s journey to finding love wasn’t always smooth sailing. In 2009, she tied the knot with singer Ryan Adams, but their marriage ended in 2015. After their split, Mandy wasn’t sure when—or if—she’d find love again. However, fate had something else in store for her. It all started with a simple Instagram post in 2015. Mandy shared a photo of Taylor Goldsmith’s band, Dawes, and little did she know, that post would change her life forever.
In an interview with People magazine back in October 2017, Mandy revealed the charming story of how they connected. “I took a picture of their album and posted it on Instagram,” she recalled. “Somehow, Taylor saw it and sent me a note. We started emailing back and forth, and before I knew it, we went on a date. The rest is history. Thanks, Instagram, for helping me meet my fiancé!”
