Two years after tying the knot, Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith are expecting their first child together.

TheThis Is Usactress announced the exciting news in an Instagram post last week, sharing a series of photos of her and Goldsmith looking very happy together as she showed off her baby bump.

"Baby Boy Goldsmith coming early 2021," she captioned the post.

The couple married in an intimate backyard wedding at Moore's home in 2018. But their love story actually began three years before that in 2015. And like a lot of relationships these days, it started over social media.

At the time, Moore was finalising her divorce from her ex-husband Ryan Adams and shared a post about Goldsmith's band, Dawes, on Instagram.

"Somehow, Taylor saw it and sent a note to me," Moore later told People.

"We started emailing back and forth, then we went on a date and the rest is history. Thanks Instagram, for helping me meet my fiancé!"

With Goldsmith often on tour, the couple would spend "hours FaceTiming each other".

"We fell in love before we’d even really held hands or kissed or anything. It was great," she told the publication.

In 2018, she told Glamour she knew Goldsmith was the one, based on how he reacted to her relationship breakdown with Adams.

"I was still dealing with the trauma of my divorce when we started dating," she explained.

"Taylor was steadfast in his support - that was a huge sign for me."

"I can imagine no better partner. He's going to be the most tremendous father. I view the past as a stepping-stone to get me where I am today. I would gladly weather all of that a million times over if it brought me to Taylor again."

Indeed, Moore's path to love hasn't always been easy.

Here's a look back at some of the celebrities she has dated in the past.

Ryan Adams

Before dating Goldsmith, the 36-year-old was married to singer-songwriter Ryan Adams. They first met in 2007, when Moore was 23, and tied the knot two years later. Throughout their six-year marriage, the couple kept their relationship fairly private.

In 2014, Adams hung up on a Melbourne radio interview after being repeatedly asked about his marriage.

"OK, so I just hung up 'cause I was on the radio getting asked about my wife," he said after the call,Buzzfeedreported.

"I was really nice about it the first time, and I'm sorry, but I won't repeat myself. The deal is this: I'm a private person and I'll be a gentleman and say I'm not talking about my marriage ever. I'll never talk about it. Ever."

They eventually split in 2015 before officially divorcing a year later.

In 2018, Moore first discussed Adams after their divorce in aGlamourprofile.

She explained feeling "spiritually and fundamentally stuck" leading up to their divorce, which damaged her personal relationships and career.

"I don't feel guilty for [the divorce]. I don’t fault myself for it," she said.

"When people said, 'I'm sorry,' I was like, 'No. Sorry would have been had I stayed in a very unhealthy situation' I didn't. I found my way out. And when I did, things opened back up again."

In the days following the interview, Adams shared, deleted and then apologised for a series of tweets he sent about his ex-wife.

He first responded to a tweet from blogger Perez Hilton about Moore'sGlamourinterview.

"She didn't like the Melvins or BladeRunner," Adams tweeted. "Doomed from the start... If only I could remember the start lol."

He then, in a tweet deleted soon after, claimed to have been so high he didn't remember their 2009 wedding.

"When someone told me we got married, I thought they were joking," he said, CNN reported. "Then I realised how many painkillers I was taking. Honestly, there weren't enough to numb the shock. Gollygooops."

He apologised for his tweets a couple of days later.

Thank you for the kind messages. I am speaking with a grief/ crisis counsellor. I apologize if I caused anyone any worry. Depression, anxiety/ panic attacks & grief are very real and serious issues. If anyone is suffering I urge you seek help. And cats. pic.twitter.com/mmm6jrx1Q7

Moore later became one of seven women who spoke out about Adams' "pattern of manipulative behavior" in a report for the New York Times in February 2019.

Moore told the publication her marriage to Adams was psychologically abusive.
