Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and more of the This Is Us cast made viewers swoon since 2016 — and their real-life love stories are just as dreamy.
The NBC hit follows Rebecca (Moore) and Jack Pearson (Ventimiglia), who lead with love as they raise their three children: Kevin, Kate and Randall. The Pearson family’s story begins in the ’70s and spans several decades of losses, triumphs and challenges.
Moore’s onscreen romance with the Gilmore Girls alum prepared her for the “modern kind of love story” she found with husband Taylor Goldsmith, she gushed to InStyle in March 2019. “If someone would have told me three years ago, ‘That’s your future husband, and you’re going to meet him through Instagram,’ I would have thought that they were absolutely bonkers. It proves that you have to stay open-minded because you just never know.”
Moore married the Dawes musician in November 2018, and in February 2021, the pair welcomed their first child, August. Their family continued to grow with the births of son Ozzie in October 2022 and daughter Louise in September 2024.
Scroll down for a closer look at the This Is Us cast’s love lives over the years:
Mandy Moore
Moore shares sons August and Oscar (nicknamed Gus and Ozzie) and daughter Louise with Goldsmith, whom she wed in 2018.
The “Cry” singer previously dated Zach Braff and Wilmer Valderrama, and was married to Ryan Adams from 2009 to 2016. In 2019, Moore claimed in a New York Times report that she experienced emotional abuse from Adams, who allegedly used music as “a point of control,” before their split.
He later told Us in a statement, “I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly.”
Milo Ventimiglia
The Gilmore Girls alum dated costar Alexis Bledel for three years before splitting in July 2006. He later sparked a romance with Heroes costar Hayden Panettiere from 2007 to 2009. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in October 2023 that Ventimiglia secretly wed Jarah Mariano during a private ceremony attended by family and close friends earlier that year.
Justin Hartley
Us confirmed in November 2019 that Hartley filed for divorce from Chrishell Stause after two years of marriage. The breakup played out on season 3 of Selling Sunset, where Stause claimed that she was blindsided by the soap opera heartthrob. A source told Us at the time, “[Justin’s] irritated that she’s airing their private information publicly and knows there is more to the story than is being told.”
He secretly wed actress Sofia Pernas in May 2021, one year after they started dating.
Chrissy Metz
In January 2008, the Emmy nominee married writer Martyn Eaden in a California courthouse. They announced their separation five years later before finalizing their divorce in December 2015. Us reported in November 2018 that Metz was dating composer Hal Rosenfeld before she moved on with boyfriend Bradley Collins in May 2020. They celebrated their two-year anniversary just ahead of the This Is Us series finale.
Metz and Collins announced in October 2023 that they had “amicably” split, less than one year after their debut children’s book was published.
Sterling K. Brown
The Frozen II actor has been married to college sweetheart Ryan Michelle Bathe since 2007. They share two sons.
Susan Kelechi Watson
Watson confirmed her single status in November 2020 after splitting from fiancé of one year Jaime Lincoln Smith. The following April, she joked that she hadn’t gotten the swing of online dating. “I’m not good at choosing from the pictures and I just need it to be in person,” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Chris Sullivan
The two-time Emmy nominee exchanged vows with Rachel Sullivan in 2010, a decade before welcoming their first child, son Bear. They announced in May 2022 that they were expecting a second child later that year. Daughter Aoife Bea arrived the following October.
Jon Huertas
In May 2014, the Castle alum married Nicole Bordges in Tulum, Mexico.
Alexandra Breckenridge
The She’s the Man actress shares son Jack and daughter Billie with Casey Hooper, whom she wed in September 2015. She was previously linked to Evan Peters and Seth MacFarlane.
