Moore’s Heartfelt 40th Birthday Tribute to Goldsmith
“I can’t believe we’ve had 10 birthdays together. One whole decade down and at least another 4-5 together? Unless science and modern medicine can help us figure out otherwise,” Moore wrote. “It’s hard to distill down all the things you bring to the table, Taylor. You’re everyone’s favorite person (including all 3 of our kids, duh).

I’m grateful every single day to share this life with you and am overjoyed to celebrate you on your big 40!!”
She ended the post by sharing a sweet throwback: “Also peeps the last 2 pictures from his 30th bday dinner/show in Seattle where I met his parents for the first time too!!”

Through it all, fans have rooted for Moore as she’s evolved in both career and personal life.
Motherhood as Her Greatest Role
While she often posts joyful photos with her kids, Moore has been candid about the realities of parenting. Talking to Parents magazine, Moore said:
“It’s one thing to put a picture on social media and whatnot, and it’s another to just have the lived experience of being a parent—and it’s wild. It’s the greatest thing ever. It’s also painfully challenging and illuminates parts of your personality that you realize you’re not proud of,” Moore admitted.
She added, “I really have a lot less patience sometimes than I thought I had before endeavoring to be a parent.”
Balancing Joy & Challenges of Parenting
Like many parents, Moore experiences both triumphs and tough days. “I have all of this on lock. I know exactly what I’m doing,” she said of her good days. On others, she admits she feels “completely thrown through a loop.”
Despite the challenges, Moore’s heartfelt reflections & rare family moments remind fans why she remains one of the most relatable stars of her generation.
