Hilary Duff has opened up about her strained relationship with older sister Haylie Duff during a recent podcast appearance. The actress and singer confirmed that her new song 'We Don’t Talk' is inspired by their falling out. She described the family dynamic as complicated and expressed hope for reconciliation.
Oh, the Duff sisters—once the epitome of sibling goals, now serving up some serious family tea. Hilary Duff, 36, got real on the Jay Shetty Podcast about why she and her older sister Haylie Duff, 38, aren't on speaking terms. 'This is a hard one for me. This is a really tough one. Um, my sister and I don’t speak,' Hilary shared, admitting it's a painful truth she's facing through her music after a 10-year hiatus from recording.
Rumors of their rift have been swirling for months: no social media shoutouts between them, and they haven't been spotted together publicly since 2019. Things reportedly got messier when Haylie appeared to back Ashley Tisdale amid the so-called 'toxic mom group' drama. Hilary, who's been in the spotlight for 25 years, called it a 'very vulnerable song' and a 'raw part of my existence,' emphasizing she's only speaking from her own experience.
'I hope it’s not forever, but it’s for right now,' she added wistfully. 'That’s the person I grew up with, the only one.' Diving deeper into family expectations, Hilary reflected, 'You desire like in family like this picture and that’s not reality a lot of the times for people... it’s very complicated.' She even admitted feeling 'used' by Tisdale’s essay, hinting at broader tensions.
It's all too relatable—adulthood hitting those childhood bonds hard. But with Hilary prioritizing her own family now, one can't help but wonder: will the Duff duo ever hit reset, or is this silence the new normal? 🔥
