While posting a picture of her GORGEOUS rock, the Come Clean songstress added the caption:
“He asked me to be his wife”
Koma posted the same pic, writing:
“I asked my best friend to marry me… @hilaryduff”
The two were first linked in early 2017 until they broke things off a few months later in March.
However, the two eventually got back together, and are now on the path to getting married!
The Lizzie McGuire thespian also shares son Luca Cruz, 7, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.
As we reported, the 31-year-old starlet candidly opened up about her decision to stop breastfeeding her daughter.
In a long essay, Duff admitted she finds it difficult to nurse her child while working:
“THIS ONE’S FOR THE LADIES Just a few thoughts that I wanted to share on Breast-feeding. Last week was my last week nursing Banks (my six month old) I am a working mom of two. My goal was to get my little girl to six months and then decide if I (and her of course) wanted to keep going. Let me tell you. Pumping at work sucks. I had zero down time and am usually pumping in a hair and make up trailer while four hands work to get me ready for the next scene with lots of other people around. Even if I had the luxury to be in my own room, it’s not even considered a “break” because you have to sit upright for the milk to flow into the bottles! Plus you are having your damn nipples tugged at by an aggressive machine that makes an annoying sound, that echoes through your head day and night (I swear that machine and I had many conversations at midnight and 3 am)! Ttttthen having to find someplace to sterilize bottles and keep your milk cold (ok I’m done with that rant lol)!”
She continued:
“Anyway, I didn’t know this because with Luca I didn’t work until he was about nine months old, so I didn’t pump very often. Your milk supply drastically drops when you stop feeding as often and lose the actual contact and connection with your baby… So I was eating all the fenugreek [sic] goats butt blessed thistle fennel cookies/drops/shakes/pills I could get my hands on! It was maddening. (Does fenugreek make anyone else smell like maple syrup and rubber gloves?…not chill) With all of this complaining, I want to say I enjoyed (almost) every moment of feeding my daughter. Felt so lucky to be so close to her and give her that start. I know many women are not able to and for that I am sympathetic and very grateful that I could. For six wonderful months. But I needed a break. I was going to break.”
Overall, every woman is “superwoman,” whether they breastfeed or not!
“With the stress of a dropping milk supply and a baby that was getting bored or not caring about nursing when I was available to. I was sad and frustrated and feeling like a failure all of the time. When really I’m a bad ass rock star. Moms get high on feeling like superwoman…because we are! Doing too much, because we can!”
We are so happy for Hilary, Matthew, and their family!
