Brooklyn Decker and Mandy Moore both have a lot of love for Andy Roddick. Mandy Moore, who is 39 years old, gave compliments to her ex-boyfriend Andy Roddick, who is 40 years old, on August 28th to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his U.S. Open victory.
In response, Brooklyn Decker, aged 36, also said kind things. They had a friendly conversation in the comments of a post on Brooklyn Decker’s Instagram, where she paid tribute to Roddick. His career was featured in a long article by GQ Sports.
Mandy Moore, who was dating Roddick when he won the big competition, sent her good wishes to him on social media that same day. She mentioned that Andy had a significant impact on her early adult years. Even though they do not keep in touch now, she was touched by an article discussing his 20th anniversary of winning the US Open and how his life has been since then. She shared this on her Instagram story along with a link to the article.
Mandy Moore and Andy Roddick split
Mandy Moore and Andy Roddick ended their relationship in 2004 after dating for less than two years. When he won the U.S. Open in 2003, Moore was present to support him. Talking about their breakup during a conversation with Howard Stern in 2018, Moore seemed to suggest that their relationship ended because one of them became interested in someone else.
She mentioned that this is something that happens to people. It is a normal part of being a human. She also said that it was alright and that the relationship was not meant to continue.
Both stars moved on in their lives. Roddick got married to Decker in 2009, and Moore married Taylor Goldsmith in 2018 after divorcing Ryan Adams. Despite this, they still cheer each other on even though they are not close.
Moore said on Stern’s show that she is happy for Roddick, for he is married now, has children, and has a happy life. She also said that back then, they were young, and now it does not bother her. A decade ago, she might have had a grudge, but now it just does not matter.
Decker opens up on Moore and her love for Roddick.
Decker, on the other hand, has openly expressed how much she values Moore. However, she told Us Weekly in 2021 that they had not actually met each other. Decker mentioned that Moore is known for being incredibly kind and giving. She also shared that she had not hugged Moore yet but had sent her a small gift before Moore’s oldest son, Gus, was born.

Being at home during the lockdown could have caused issues, but Decker explained that it actually made her and Roddick become close. She mentioned that the situation forced them to slow down, which they would not have done otherwise. Decker shared that, somehow, they found themselves enjoying each other’s company more during this time compared to before. She called it a miracle.
