Hilary Duff found herself under fire from her teenage son during a recent music project promotion interview, showcasing the candid nature of family dynamics in public scrutiny.
In an exclusive video interview for Billboard, Duff, who is 38 years old and known as a singer and actress, took to the stage with her young son, Luca, aged 13. The conversation quickly veered towards topics not typically discussed during such interviews—Luca’s observations of his mother’s wardrobe.
Luca critiqued his mother’s outfit in particular—a sparkly orange top fashioned into an Arsenal FC jersey. When Duff sought feedback on her appearance, the teenager bluntly stated it was “not it,” citing that Arsenal was not his preferred team. He then pointed out a Real Madrid jersey he wore for added humor, clarifying he wasn’t a genuine fan.
The teen’s suggestion to opt for Manchester City instead of Arsenal highlighted his keen eye for sports jerseys and brand preference. During the interview, Duff also engaged in conversation about her new music style and return to recording work.
In another unexpected turn, she asked if Luca was considering pursuing a career in music. The teenager replied that he had aspirations of becoming a professional footballer or a model. This response came as a refreshing contrast to his mother’s career path.
Husband Matthew Koma is the father of Duff’s three daughters—Townes, Mae, and Banks—and she shares her son with Mike Comrie. As both a talented performer and a dedicated parent, Duff navigates the complexities of balancing her public persona with her family life with grace and authenticity.
