As if we weren’t getting enough celebrity sibling drama from the Beckhams right now, Hilary Duff has seemingly addressed her long-rumoured rift with her older sister Haylie in a brand new song.
The pop icon returned to the stage for her first headline performance in 18 years on Monday, kicking off her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour in London. The set list was filled with old school bangers — including “Come Clean”, “Wake Up” and her first-ever live performance of “What Dreams Are Made Of” — and new songs from her upcoming album Luck … or Something.
While fans will have to wait for February 20 to hear the new album in full (and we WILL be listening and supporting our ex-Disney queen), one song has already sent the internet into full meltdown.
What’s Hilary Duff’s new song about?
“We Don’t Talk”, which appears to sample Gotye and Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”, very much alludes to Hilary’s fractured relationship with Haylie and how she wishes they were still close.
“‘Cos we come from the same home, the same blood / A different combination, but the same mum,” she sings. “People ask me how you’re doing, I wanna say amazing / But the truth is that I don’t know.”
Things get even spicier in the second verse when Hilary hints that the feud stemmed from jealousy.
“And if it’s ‘cos you’re jealous / God knows I would sell it all to break you off the bigger half.”
The song continues with Hilary saying she wishes they could hear each other out and “get back to how [they] were as kids”. The Younger star appeared to get emotional towards the end of the performance, which was thankfully filmed for all of us to see.
The Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff feud, explained
TikToker Jordy Cray shared a viral video in 2022 that pointed out that Hilary and Haylie — who were once super close and acted alongside one another in Lizzie McGuire and the 2006 film Material Girls — were no longer liking each other’s posts. He also noticed they had suddenly stopped appearing in photos together (they have not been photographed together since 2019) and that Hilary’s husband Matthew Koma was not following Haylie.
Hilary seemingly confirmed the rift in a November 2025 interview with Rolling Stone when she admitted to struggling with “family drama” — and haven’t we all.
While many have guessed that the squabble could be down to politics — as Haylie is reportedly a Republican and Hilary is a Democrat — goss guru DeuxMoi has claimed their estrangement actually stemmed from their partners. Apparently, Hilary’s husband Matthew doesn’t get along with Haylie or her fiancé Matthew Rosenberg, who have been engaged since 2014.
The feud was dug back up earlier this month when fans noticed that Haylie had liked Ashley Tisdale’s post about being part of a “toxic” mum group — which allegedly included Hilary, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
The drama is very much alive and well, but fingers crossed Hilary and Haylie can work it out on the remix.
