Mandy Moore is sharing the love for her parent friends like Hilary Duff.
The This Is Us star, 41, opened up about her close bond with the Duff, whom she met in 2018, in a new cover Glamour story for the "Mature" singer and explained how "lucky" she feels that her kids have bonded with a family that has similar values to her own, per People. Moore shares three children — sons August, 4, and Oscar, 3, and daughter Louise, 1 — with husband Taylor Goldsmith while Duff shares daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 4, and Townes, 1, with husband Matthew Koma and son Luca, 13, with ex Mike Comrie.
"I feel exceedingly lucky that my kids happen to spend time with people that I feel like our values are aligned with," she said. "The friends that I've made since becoming a parent are some of the deeper, more surprising friendships I've found as an adult."
Moore's comments come weeks after Ashley Tisdale penned a viral essay in The Cut calling out "toxic" mom group drama that was allegedly about her time in a friend group with Moore, Duff, Meghan Trainor and more. A source later told People that the falling-out behind the scenes was "a misalignment of values that Ashley decided to make public" and that "friends naturally drift apart."
Moore seemingly echoed that sentiment in a podcast appearance in January, with the A Walk to Remember actress admitting to having to "sort of mourn" the way friendships have evolved and drifted.
