Mandy Moore is candidly sharing the reason why she leans on her mother-in-law, Kathy Goldsmith, to help regulate her emotions. During a recent conversation with E! News, the former Princess Diaries star provided a rare glimpse into her bond with her husband Taylor Goldsmith's mother.
"I cherish my mother-in-law, and our relationship is incredibly close," Mandy told the outlet. The actress, who is a mother of three children, revealed that when life gets overwhelming, she freely expresses her frustrations to her mother-in-law.
"She's incredibly helpful with the kids and is a vital part of our support system," Mandy said. "So, she's the first person I turn to when I need to vent."
This isn't the first time Mandy has gushed over her mother-in-law. In a previous Instagram post, she revealed how Kathy helped her and her husband when they lost their home in the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
"It's been a hell of a year, and my mother-in-law, Kathy, has risen to every occasion," Mandy wrote in July 2025. "Selfishly, I'm not sure what I would have done without her in the hours, days, weeks, and months since the fire. She suffered her own immense loss and has been by our side since the very beginning, without missing a beat."
"If there's any silver lining in this whole thing, it's that she's ours. We couldn't be luckier that she's part of our family, and we're never letting her go," she added at the time.
Mandy and Taylor tied the knot in November 2018 and have welcomed three children together: sons Gus and Ozzie and daughter Lou.
