Mandy Moore highlights Hilary Duff's role in her first pregnancy

Mandy Moore, the mother of three children, highlighted Hilary Duff’s role during her pregnancy.

For those unaware, the 42-year-old American singer-songwriter and actress shares her 5-year-old August "Gus" Harrison, 3-year-old Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett, and 21-month-old Louise “Lou” Everett with her husband Taylor Goldsmith.

PEOPLE magazine received a clip from the forthcoming episode of Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, where Moore reflected on her close bond with Duff.

She told Hirsch that she relied on the Lizzie McGuire star during her first pregnancy, explaining, "We went through — she went through her third pregnancy, and I went through my first pregnancy — like together. And so, like I really was able to immediately lean on her.”

The Tangled star asked Duff to tell her “all the things,” as she already had two kids at that time and was expecting her third. She then opened her house for her and started giving baby classes with fellow new mothers.

Moore admitted that those classes were worth attending, especially outdoor outings, which were filled with “so much fun.”

She said, "She was the one that welcomed in all these other new moms during the pandemic to a baby class at her house. We started with like baby music class when our kids were like little blobs just lying on the grass. It was so much fun."

"I have become a mom with her and she's the best,” Mandy Moore remarked.

It is pertinent to mention that Hilary Duff is the mother of four children. She welcomed her eldest son, Luca Cruz Comrie, with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie, in 2012, and three children, Banks Violet Bair, Mae James Bair, and Townes Meadow Bair, with her husband Matthew Koma.
