What did Milo Ventimiglia say about him and Mandy Moore taking vows?
As it turns out, Ventimiglia and Moore have serious chemistry in real life as well. In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, ahead of the season 6 premiere, Milo Ventimiglia dished on the vows that he and Mandy Moore made to each other when they first got together to film This Is Us.
As reported by Insider, Ventimiglia said that they made specific commitments to each other as they went on their new journey. The vows, according to Ventimiglia, included, “I promise to always communicate. I promise to not be happy until you’re happy. I will always look out for you.”
“And we have stayed very true to what we said in the beginning,” the actor told Kimmel, calling Moore “the best partner I’ve ever had.” Ventimiglia’s sentiments in his recent interview echoed an older conversation that he had with E! News, when he said that he and Moore had agreed “that from action to cut, for all intents and purposes, we’re a married couple.”
Are Moore and Ventimiglia married to each other in real life?
Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia might act like a married couple on the set, but in real life, Moore is married to musician Taylor Goldsmith. The two were married in 2018 and welcomed their first child in February 2021. As for Ventimiglia, while he has dated some well-known actresses, including a long-term relationship with Hayden Panettiere, the actor is single these days, according to The Things.
The publication notes that Ventimiglia likes to keep his personal life very private, so even if he was casually dating someone, it is unlikely that he would bring it up in an interview. Still, with Ventimiglia being one of the hottest bachelors in television, there’s a very good chance that he could find his very own Rebecca Pearson in the coming years.
