Your parents are never going to turn down an opportunity to tell you what you did wrong, even if you're just following a script.

Mandy Moore's mom and dad are also very emotionally invested in the Pearson family's ups and downs on This Is Us, but unlike you, they have her phone number. So they text her to figure out what's going on with Rebecca.

Her parents aren't cool with how Moore is conducting her fictional marriage to Milo Ventimiglia, and seem to really want him as an IRL son-in-law.

With all the twists and turns on the show, though, they might be biting their tongues once more secrets of the seemingly fairytale romance are revealed. The only thing that's certain is emotional devastation.
