It looks like 2017 is going to be an exciting year for Golden Globe-nominated actress Mandy Moore! Not only was her hit NBC series This Is Us recently picked up for two more seasons, but according to the latest celebrity news on EOnline.com, the star is thinking about having children with Taylor Goldsmith, her boyfriend of 18 months — and playing TV mom Rebecca Pearson may have had something to do with it! “I feel like deep down, the soul of who this woman is, I’m familiar with,” the 32-year-old actress revealed at the Elle Women in Television dinner. “I feel a kinship with her. I was most concerned about feeling maternal, not having children myself. But being part of a project like this definitely makes my ovaries start kicking.” So when is she hoping to add a celebrity baby to her family? “I want kids sooner than later,” she added with a smile.
