Mandy Moore says she’s ‘so happy’ for ex Andy Roddick and his family as she raves about his GQ profile, revealing they’re no longer ‘in touch’
They dated for a little over a year when she was only twenty.
And Mandy Moore spoke fondly of her ex Andy Roddick after the publication of his new GQ profile.
The 39-year-old actress, who dated the tennis great from 2003 to 2004, is now married to Dawes singer Taylor Goldsmith – but still had high words for him when she shared his profile on her Instagram Stories.
Andy was a very formative part of my young adult life and although we are no longer in contact, I was deeply moved by this article, which reflected on the 20th anniversary of his US Open victory and the kind of life he has lived ever since Mandy, who recently vacationed in Italy, posted Monday.
“I am so happy for him and his family. Congratulations on this milestone, Andy!’
‘I’m so happy for him’: Mandy Moore spoke fondly of her ex Andy Roddick after the release of his new GQ profile
The former flames met on the set of Mandy’s film How To Deal, and the singer credited her mom for helping set it up.
“About the last three weeks of the film, I meet a man who just steals my heart. I am so happy and in love with him. I owe that to my mother,” she said in the talk show The Early Show In style.
Andy married model Brooklyn Decker in 2009 and they share son Hank, seven, and daughter Stevie, five.
The couple became connected after Andy had his attorney contact her agent. According to GQ, Brooklyn thought the move was “dark.”
“All I want to say in my defense,” he said, “is that I didn’t do it all the time. The firing of the shot was a one-off.”
Several months later, they finally had their first date and talked on the phone for weeks before finally meeting in person in New York.
“We had breakfast the next morning,” Brooklyn said. “We didn’t spend the night together.”
The tennis pro popped the question to Brooklyn in their Indian Wells hotel room when he was 25 and she was 20.

In his other hand he held “a sprig of holly that he had broken off a bush” and the ring, the publication describes.
“I went like, ‘I don’t think I’m going to be in a serious relationship forever,’ and then we were engaged for about six months. And then we really got to know each other,” he said.
Mandy married her first husband, former Whiskeytown singer Ryan Adams, in 2008 before their divorce was finalized in 2016.

She has been married to Taylor Goldsmith of the folk rock band Dawes since 2018 and they share sons August, two, and Oscar, nine months.
The Candy singer previously admitted that she often feels out of the depths as a mother of two small children, but that she “comes along” with the “process” that is motherhood.
She said E! News: ‘Some days I feel like we’re barely above water. The potty training is intensive, but slowly but surely we are getting there. I love that someone said to me, “It’s not an event, it’s a process.”
