Mandy Moore sure has a better relationship with her ex than a lot of us.

The This Is Us star recently extended congratulations to her ex, Wilmer Valderrama, and his fiancée, Amanda Pacheco, on the birth of their new baby. Valderrama announced the baby girl’s arrival in an Instagram post that said, “Life is an ever evolving journey, and for all those times when our path needs a light.. often angels are sent to show us the way and that we can be more.. straight out of heaven we welcome our first daughter...#ItsJustUs3Now.”

The newest addition to Valderrama and Pacheco’s family was born on February 15th. She received a warm welcome from many high-profile celebs, including Gabrielle Union and Eva Longoria, who wrote loving comments on the post. However, the message that received the most attention was from Moore, who wrote: “Look at that gorgeous angel! Congrats to and your beautiful family and can’t wait to meet her!!”

Moore and Valderrama dated from 2000 to 2002, but even after the split, the pair has remained close and say they love running into each other.

Magically, only a couple of days after the arrival of Valderrama’s baby, Moore announced the arrival of her son, August Harrison Goldsmith, in an adorable Instagram post. August, or Gus for short, is the first child between Moore and her husband, Taylor Dawes Goldsmith.

We can't wait to see the congratulations Valderrama will send in return!
