Prior to Louise's arrival, they were already parents to two boys, Gus and Ozzie.
On May 31, 2024, Mandy announced she and Taylor were expecting a baby girl.
While referencing the abovementioned NBC series, she said: "Sometimes life imitates art.
"The third in our own Big Three coming soon. Can’t wait for these boys to have a baby sister."
While discussing her life as a mother, Mandy told : "Not to sound cheesy, but all the clichés are true. Life is Technicolor now.
"It just makes sense in a way that it didn't before. I had no idea that this degree of love existed in the world.
"I have a new colour to bring to the table that I didn't have before.
"It's going to impact the choices I make when it comes to work. Everything is different now."
Mandy previously told the TODAY show how her spouse said she was "mad" for wanting to expand their brood.
WRAPPED UP
Viewers were left gutted after This Is Us wrapped in May 2022.
Yet it appears there won't be a re-boot.
This Is Us show creator Dan Fogelman previously spoke to about the ending of the show at a Television Critics Association event.
He shared with the outlet that the reason why the show ending after six seasons is that he planned it this way.
"It's not because we don't have any more story to tell. It's because we exactly planned it to go this way.
"And so we're on a five‑year path, and to suddenly pivot and add more because we don't want it to end, it wouldn't be quite responsible to the show and what we have planned, and it would start becoming something else," Dan said.
