Mandy Moore Dating Timeline: Past Friends and Relationship History
With music as a first love, it’s kind of a wonder why the singing sensation has found love in the arms of music artists on multiple occasions. However, she is not only attracted to musicians, as the list below shows.
Wilmer Valderrama (2000 – 2002)
Their relationship can be described as on and off, but when it finally ended, there was a sad little note around it. It wasn’t exactly funny when Wilmer talked about sex with Moore on the Howard Stern show. The actor who presumably jumped into Mandy’s shoes said, “…sex with Mandy was good, but it wasn’t like hot apple pie.” This comment was not very positive for Mandy. Despite that, they patched things up and are now in a good place, but it’s definitely not an item anymore.
Brian McFayden (2001 – 2002)
The MTV VJ entered the Mandy Moore timeline after working with the singer – they hosted the 2001 “Miss Teen USA” pageant and a few MTV events, including New Years Eve 2002. They were supposed to be dating, but it might just be a hoax since Moore was just 17 at the time. refuted the claims, saying Brian was too old for her. He was 25 at the time.
Billy Crawford (2002)
If we take Billy’s word for it, they dated for at least a year, but according to Mandy, the connection was really quick and lasted a few weeks. Anyway, we just know it happened and it started and ended in 2002.
Andy Roddick (2002 – 2004)
Mandy proved she wasn’t just drawn to people in showbiz when she met the American tennis player who is also a Grand Slam champion. Mandy Moore became his girlfriend in time to cheer him on as he battled his way across the court to win the 2003 US Open. Sadly, it had to end, but they only have good words to say.
Zach Braff (2004 – 2006)
They met at a Creative Artists Agency event and couldn’t deny the connection, but obviously, luckily, it never existed. They seemed to be having a great time together, but their breakup was rocky, with Mandy battling depression afterwards, but that didn’t linger.
Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein (2007)
Luckily, Mandy Moore’s dating timeline wasn’t badly affected by the depression she suffered in 2006. She and DJ AM had a few months before they went their separate ways. Apparently, their split was amicable as they remained great friends afterwards. When DJ AM survived a plane crash in 2008, Mandy was by his side in the hospital. Unfortunately, he died prematurely in 2009 following an accidental drug overdose.
Greg Laswell (2007)
Mandy met the producer and musician through a mutual friend the same year she ended her affair with DJ AM but, like a candle in the wind, their affection for each other was extinguished. Soon after, Mandy began her relationship with Ryan Adams, who would later become her husband.
Ryan Adams (2009 – 2016)
Mandy and the former Whiskeytown frontman started a date in early 2008 and although Ryan initially refused, he put a ring on her engagement finger in February 2009. Their wedding took place on March 10, 2009 at Savannah, Georgia. In January 2015 a divorce happened – filed by Mandy Moore who cited “irreconcilable differences”. Court documents revealed that they were already separated, as they were six months ago, before making things official.
Taylor Goldsmith (2016 – ???)
Before her divorce from Ryan was finalized in 2016, Moore and Dawes lead singer Taylor Goldsmith had already captured the hearts of social media. They got engaged on September 23, 2017, and we can’t wait to see her in her wedding dress once again.
