HILARY Duff is opening up about a deeply personal chapter in her life.

During a recent appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, the singer and actress became emotional as she discussed her estrangement from sister Haylie Duff while promoting her new album, Luck… or Something.

Duff revealed that she and Haylie are currently not speaking, calling the situation “a very raw part of my existence.”

She shared that the emotional track We Don’t Talk was inspired by their strained relationship, explaining that she wanted the album to reflect her real-life experiences after a decade away from music.

The star said she hopes the distance between them is not permanent, but admitted that for now, the rift remains unresolved. She also noted that the song captures the loneliness she feels from not having her sister in her life.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Duff briefly spoke about her limited relationship with her father, Robert Duff, and reflected on how her parents’ difficult divorce shaped her own approach to family after her split from ex-husband Mike Comrie. She said she worked to keep family traditions intact for their son, Luca.

Duff is now married to musician Matthew Koma, who also co-wrote and executive produced her new album. The couple share three daughters together.

The candid interview has sparked conversation among fans, with many praising Duff for her honesty and vulnerability.
