Hilary Duff Opens Up About Family Struggles in New Album
Hilary Duff’s latest album dives deep into her complicated family life. It’s a raw look at her relationships, especially with her sister, Haylie. In a candid interview with Glamour, Hilary reveals why she decided to put her personal struggles into her music.
Talking about her family, Hilary says, “Those are the people that affect you the most.” She acknowledges that just because you’re born into a family, it doesn’t mean it stays together. Many fans relate to her story, as studies show that nearly 50% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. This statistic highlights how common it is for families to face such challenges.
Hilary’s upbringing was far from simple. She describes her life as “very complicated,” including her parents’ divorce in 2008. This tumultuous period had a profound impact on her and her sister. “I know it’s not rare,” she says, reflecting back on her experiences. “I guess I just felt ready to share now.”
Through her song, “We Don’t Talk,” she opens up about her rift with Haylie. Their relationship has been strained, and they haven’t been seen together since before the pandemic. It’s a telling sign of their disconnect, as they seldom interact on social media. This lack of communication might resonate with many listeners who face similar dynamics in their families.
Hilary’s new music is more than just personal; it’s a bridge to her fans. She believes that many people have gone through similar struggles over the last decade. “I felt like people have definitely gone through some of the similar large strokes that I have,” she shares.
By sharing her story, Hilary aims to connect with listeners who have found themselves in complicated family situations. It’s a reminder that vulnerability can help others feel less alone amidst their struggles.
