Hilary Duff has recently spoken candidly about her complex family relationships, including an ongoing feud with her sister, Haylie Duff. The siblings have not been photographed together since 2019, and their social media interactions have notably faded.
In a new interview with Glamour, Hilary addressed these "complicated" dynamics. "That's my family. Those are the people that affect you the most," she said, referencing songs about her sister and father on her upcoming album. "Just because you're born into a family doesn't mean that it always stays together."
The actress and singer emphasized personal accountability, stating, "You can only control your side and your street.... I've had a very complicated life." She added that she felt ready to address these topics now.
Fans speculate her new song "We Don't Talk" hints at the estrangement. Lyrics include, "How we don't talk, we don't talk, talk about it / We don't talk about anything anymore," and reference a shared past: "'Cause we come from the same home, the same blood." The emotionally charged track explores themes of jealousy and a desire to reconcile, with lines like "Let's have it out / I'll hear you out... Get back to how we were as kids."
