Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore’s parents broke up after 30 years of marriage and her mother, Stacy Moore-Friedman, started a new life with her partner, tennis player Claudette Laliberte. The This Is Us star fully supports her mother’s relationship and her two openly gay brothers.
She told the website Byrdie: “I’ve never really talked about this, but my parents are divorced. My mother left my father for a woman. And both of my two brothers are gay.”
Robert De Niro
Robert De Niro’s parents divorced when he was still a young boy and in 1944 De Niro Senior, a respected abstract expressionist painter, publicly admitted that he was gay. The Goodfellas actor revealed that he didn’t have a traditional relationship with his father growing up. He told Out magazine: “We were not the type of father and son who played baseball together, as you can surmise. But we had a connection.”
The special relationship between the pair was made more evident by De Niro’s documentary Remembering the Artist: Robert De Niro, Senior, a testimony to his father’s life and art career, released back in 2013.
