If this is something that is meant to be, it will happen naturally.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Otherwise I am so grateful and so happy with these two guys and our family will be complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThey ended up welcoming daughter Louise in September 2024, and The Substance star joked that &#8220;Lou just had to show up&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;She showed up very, very surprisingly. We were not trying, but obviously we were open to it because of the IVF of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMandy also reflected on how she is &#8220;still emotionally recovering&#8221; from having three kids in quick succession.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, she said: &#8220;I do feel lucky that energetically, pregnancy was very easy for me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t suffer from any sort of postpartum symptoms and stuff, so I feel like I had a relatively easy journey all things considered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMandy has been open about her struggles, including facing the prospect of not being able to conceive naturally.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn January 2024, she wrote on Instagram: &#8220;There was a time when I thought I might not be able to have kids.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I remember when the doctor told me there was a slim chance of getting pregnant \u2026 and then lo and behold, to our surprise, I became pregnant with Gus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLast month, it was reported Mandy is set to executive produce an untitled project which will see her reunited with This Is Us producer Julia Brownell.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe HBO Max series will be written and executive produced by Brownell, who is also on tap as showrunner, and Deadline says Mandy while Mandy doesn&#8217;t have an acting deal in place right now, she is expected to star if the project gets greenlit.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe series, which is reported to be in development, will focus on two families coming together to discover an extended family they could never have imagined.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/mandy-moore-reflects-unsuccessful-ivf-treatment-giving-birth-baby-lou-1445379.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 June 2026 Mandy Moore underwent &#8220;unsuccessful&#8221; IVF treatment before welcoming her third child into the world.
