The reference to "life imitating art" highlights Moore's role as Rebecca Pearson, a mother of three, on the popular NBC drama 'This Is Us.'

The three Pearson children—Kevin, Kate, and Randall—are affectionately known as "The Big Three," a nickname given to them by their father, Jack Pearson. In a heartwarming parallel to her on-screen character, Moore is now expecting her third child.

Moore and Goldsmith got engaged in September 2017 and were married in November 2018.

In early 2021, while expecting her first baby with Taylor Goldsmith, Moore shared in an interview with Romper that there was some uncertainty leading up to her pregnancy.

She said, "I was fully prepared to go have surgery and fix my uterus and hopefully get rid of the endometriosis if it was there. It was nice to have a plan and to know, okay, well, this is why I haven’t been pregnant yet,”
