What Led to Hilary Duff’s Divorce From Mike Comrie

After Hilary welcomed son Luca with then-husband Mike Comrie in 2012, the couple would separate nearly two years later. It was a decision, as she explained, that came naturally.

“It just got to a point where it wasn’t gonna…I think he was good with it because I was like, ‘Here’s this, this, this,’ like, you know, and he was like, ‘Great,'” she noted. “This was before conscious uncoupling was a thing and my parents went through such a bad divorce that calling it made it really painful, but like, we’re not together anymore. So obviously it was bad enough that it wasn’t working.”

“And that was a really tough call because we had a not even 2-year-old kid,” she explained. “And I remember doing everything in my power to like, have it be peaceful and have us hanging out and spending time together. And every time we would, you know, trade, it wouldn’t just be like a drop off pickup situation. We would like go to the park and hang or go have a meal. It was really important to me to do it in a way that Luca could feel like comfy.”
