Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia shared a special bond
The bond between Moore and Ventimiglia was apparent from the moment they stepped into the roles of This Is Us‘ Rebecca and Jack.
Throughout six seasons, they found a level of trust in each other in order to take on some of the most challenging topics featured in the family drama. These included alcoholism, infant death, infidelity, the effects of war, teen sex, abusive relationships, weight, and death.
Also tackled was Rebecca’s Alzheimer’s Disease, drug dependency, adoption, disability, divorce, mental health, miscarriage, remarriage, and LGBTQ issues.
However, sandwiched in between these tough topics were tender family moments as well. It was there that Moore and Ventimiglia shined as parents whose love for each other carried them through their own personal adult struggles.
In an interview with TV Line, Moore shared, “I know I will never ever have a partner like him again.”
