Moore and Goldsmith got in engaged in September 2017, after dating for two years. They got married in November 2018.

On their two-year anniversary in November 2020, they posted messages to one another.

Along with a stunning wedding portrait, Moore wrote: “Two years have flown by in the blink of an eye and I remain taken aback at my incredible fortune to spend the rest of my days by your side. I’m not sure any declaration of love (here or otherwise) could do justice for just how I feel about you, about us… for what I get to carry around in my heart. Thank you for your grace, patience, humour, understanding and so much more. There is no one better, Taylor. Oh and I can’t wait to meet this baby boy of ours!! Happy Anniversary, my love.”

Meanwhile, Goldsmith posted the same photo with the caption: “Two years ago today was the beginning of the best two years of my life. Married my best friend and it’s only continued to get better and better. And this next year is gonna be our best yet. Happy anniversary @mandymooremm. I love you so much.”
