Mandy Moore reveals mother, brothers are gay
Mandy Moore made a surprising revelation about her family in an interview: She said that her mother and brothers are gay.
The actress, who recently divorced Ryan Adams, talked frankly about her family life with Byrdie and said it was “the least traditional.”
Moore -- who has made a splashy comeback with the new show “This is Us” -- said, “I’ve never really talked about this, but my parents are divorced. My mother left my father for a woman. And both of my two brothers are gay.”
The former teen pop star said her parents did not divorce until she was older.
“My parents loved each other; they did an incredible job raising all of us,” she said. Moore added that the image of her “seemingly traditional” family cracked when she and her brothers got older.
Moore, who married when she was 24, said of her relationship with Adams that she wanted to create her “own kind of normalcy.” She added, “Then I learned that that wasn’t going to be the fruitful experience I wanted it to be.”
The story has a happy ending, though. She said of her family that everyone is “exactly where they should be. Everyone’s so much happier, richer and more fulfilled, being their authentic selves.”
