Family is the most important thing. As she gets ready to welcome baby No. 2, Mandy MooreShe will be sharing more details about why she cancelled her tour in the midst of her pregnancy.
“I didn’t know I was pregnant when we planned the tour,” the 38-year-oldThis Is Us alum told Today ParentsWednesday, July 20. “As it turns out, being on a set is worlds away from being on a tour bus. It was like trying to sleep on a wooden roller-coaster.”
Moore and his husband Taylor GoldsmithGus, their 17 month-old son, was with them on the road.
“Gus would be standing up in his Pack N’ Play while the bus was shaking — and I was like, ‘No, no, no. We can’t do this anymore,’” she continued. “I foolishly thought, ‘If I did it before, I can do it again.’ But every pregnancy is different. I was caring for a toddler this time. I felt like a complete shell of myself, walking around feeling helpless. … I was scared I was going to adversely affect my [unborn] baby and his growth.”
Moore also stated that her OB was pleased with her decision. “She was like, ‘I know you’re a tough cookie like me, but you’re just gonna rest now, OK?’” Moore recalled. “I’d been looking forward to this for a decade and half. But ultimately, nothing trumps your health, and the health of your baby.”
Moore announced last year that she was ending her tour earlier than planned.
“It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have to let you all know that I am cancelling my remaining show dates in 2022. “It has been an honor and an absolute dream to return to the stage again this past month, performing for all of you,” she wrote via Instagram. “When we booked these shows, I wasn’t pregnant and although I truly thought I could power through, the way we are traveling (long hours on the bus and not getting proper rest) has caught up, taken its toll, and made it feel too challenging to proceed. I know that I have to put my family and my health (and the health of my baby) first and the best place for me to be right now is at home.”
The “Candy” songstress shared the news of her pregnancy days before the tour kicked off in June.
“Baby Boy Goldsmith #2 coming this fall!” Moore wrote via Instagram. “Tour is gonna be slightly different than I expected but I can’t wait and Gus is gonna be the BEST big brother!!”
