Mandy Moore on 'mourning' friendships reshaped by motherhood

According to People, Mandy Moore sat down for a candid conversation with Cameron Rogers on the Conversations with Cam podcast on Wednesday, Jan. 14, and discussed "mourning" friendships that have "taken a different course." In a clip from the episode, Moore reflected that relationships can naturally evolve as life circumstances change, particularly after becoming a parent.

"I have found that the people I am closest with in my life right now are people who are kind of at the same chapter of their lives as parents," she said, adding, "I've had to sort of mourn in a way, not the loss of those friendships, but like how they've... changed." Rogers responded that such shifts are not anyone's fault and noted people often stay in closer contact with others whose kids are the same age.

The This Is Us alum, who shares sons August "Gus," 4, and Oscar "Ozzie," 3, and daughter Louise, 16 months, with husband Taylor Goldsmith, said having children the same age has created a natural bond with other parents navigating similar routines.
