Mandy Moore cradled her burgeoning bump in a photo she posted on Saturday – one day after going public with her pregnancy.
The 40-year-old joyfully announced on Friday that she and her musician husband Taylor Goldsmith have their third baby on the way.
They are already the proud parents of two sons – Gus, two, and Ozzie, one – and are now expecting the arrival of a little girl.
In celebration of the news, Mandy posted mirror selfie to her Insta Stories of her caressing her belly, which was draped in a full-length leopard print gown.
‘Last night’s lewk,’ wrote the This Is Us actress over the snap, adding mischievously: ‘Guess I don’t have to try to camouflage anymore.’

She broke the news Friday by posting a heartwarming picture of Otis and Ozzie wearing t-shirts that read ‘Big’ and ‘Middle’ respectively.
‘Sometimes life imitates art,’ she wrote in her caption, referring to the fact that her This Is Us character also has two sons and a daughter.
‘The third in our own Big Three coming soon. Can’t wait for these boys to have a baby sister,’ the Candy singer added glowingly.
Mandy revealed last year that she had not ‘shut the door on a larger family’ in spite of how hectic her life had become with two small children.
‘I don’t know what my husband is thinking,’ she confessed to E! News .’I know right now, he’s sort of like: “Whaaat? That’s crazy! It’s so hard.” And it is. It’s so hard. It’s non-stop, all hands on deck right now. So maybe, perhaps. but I don’t know.’
Mandy endured years of fertility struggles before becoming pregnant with Gus, and in fact had endometriosis when she found out she was expecting him.
‘Because of this issue with my uterus, I was very hesitant to believe it and put any stock in it,’ she told Romper. ‘I sort of was holding my breath until 12 weeks.’
This January she reflected that she ‘always wanted to be a mom,’ adding that ‘there was a time when I thought I might not be able to have kids.’

She wrote: ‘I remember when the doctor told me there was a slim chance of getting pregnant… and then lo and behold to our surprise, I become pregnant with Gus.’
Mandy reflected on her journey, writing: ‘Motherhood is a beautiful, messy, sleepless gift and to have two kiddos under two…whew!!!’
She revealed: ‘Playing Rebecca on This Is Us actually prepared me for it a bit — like changing a diaper for the first time and running around set with “triplets.”‘
Mandy added: ‘Being a mom on This Is Us to triplets at various stages of life and now being a mom to Gus and Ozzie, well, I’ve learned that as hard as you try and as good intentioned as you may be, it is impossible to “get it right” all of the time.’
Mandy, who was previously married to Ryan Adams from 2009 to 2016, married Taylor near the end of 2018 in her backyard.
