Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia have been melting hearts with This Is Us. Starring as the lead couple Rebecca and Jack, their relationship is complicated, passionate, endearing, and real. And off-screen, it’s just as warm. After learning that his on-screen wife declared him her best on-screen kiss, Milo was happy to return the compliment.
“I respect and I appreciate that,” he told E! News on the Golden Globes red carpet. He added, “She may have had some steamy ones in the past, but I thank you Mandy for saying I’m the best. Right back at you!”

The show was also nominated for the Golden Globes for Best Television Series, Drama. Talking about the it, Milo said, “It’s special. For 21 years I’ve been in front of the camera, and I’m thankful to be a part of the group, to play the character I’m playing. It’s very simple: Jack is trying to be a good a father, a good man and I think that inherent desire to give to his family. Hopefully, it spreads to the audiences taking in the show and watching the show, and they want to be better men, better fathers, they want to be better people.”
He continued, “I think that’s something amazing [creator] Dan Fogelman, as well as our entire creative writing team, they’re accomplishing that and giving us the words to bring these characters to life.”
