The post was not without a playful moment from the colleagues as they were seen laughing their hearts out on the red carpet in one frame, while another showed them in a warm embrace. Alongside the array of images, Moore celebrated her “This Is Us” co-star’s milestone, writing:

“To know you is to love you. You are an absolute beam of light in this world, and I’m so grateful that the #thisisus journey brought us into one another’s orbit.”

The 36-year-old continued, expressing her joy at the fact that the world recognizes the enormous talent in Metz as she cited her different roles.

The shout out from Moore came a week after she revealed that she and husband Taylor Goldsmith were expecting their first child together.

She concluded the post, declaring her faith in Metz and promising to hug her in a social distanced-manner when they see physically.

Metz hasn’t responded to the heartfelt tribute as she has been away from social media on her big day. However, it didn’t stop the comments section from ringing with birthday wishes for her.

The shout out from Moore came a week after she revealed that she and husband Taylor Goldsmith were expecting their first child together. The happy couple shared the exciting news via a post on Instagram that showed Goldsmith cradling his wife’s baby bump.

In the accompanying caption, she revealed that they were welcoming a boy who would arrive in early 2021. The soon-to-be parents are undoubtedly ready to welcome their bundle of joy, as seen in the several glimpses of her beautiful home in Los Angeles, which she shared with Goldsmith.

The luxurious property, which is situated on a hill in Pasadena, California, features a plush garden and spacious rooms fit for a baby boy to have a swell time. It’s also been a good year for Metz as she embarked on a weight loss journey earlier this year.

The actress, who has been previously open about her struggles with her weight, revealed in her memoir, “This Is Me: Loving The Person You Are Today,” that her impoverished childhood played a huge role in her love for food.

While she has tried to lose weight in the past, it didn’t come easy to her until she got the part of Kate in “This Is Us.” The actress revealed that there is a clause for her to lose weight in her contract, and it has helped make the journey easier.
