Summary
- Mandy Moore's 5-year-old son, Gus, is a top listener of 'Candy'.
- Moore has placed a moratorium on playing 'Candy' daily for Gus.
- Gus is also developing his own songwriting, inspired by his parents.

Mandy Moore's 5-year-old son, Gus, has developed an unexpected fondness for his mother's 1999 breakthrough hit, "Candy." Moore shared that Gus constantly asks to listen to the song in the car, leading her to impose a "moratorium" on its daily playback. She playfully explains to him that the track is simply not her favorite.
Despite her reservations, Moore acknowledges the song's nostalgic appeal and notes Gus's humorous observation about his age relative to when the song was made. Gus, along with his younger siblings Ozzie (3) and Louise (2), are part of Moore's family with husband Taylor Goldsmith.
Intriguingly, Gus is also following in his parents' musical footsteps, having already penned an album of nine songs recorded on smartphones with his parents' assistance. Moore mentioned he is inspired by his father's musical endeavors.
Moore, who gave birth to Louise in 2024, recently expressed contentment with her family of five, indicating they are done expanding their brood. She shared a reflective post in January about the bittersweet realization of not experiencing pregnancy again.
