For many fans who grew up watching Hilary and Haylie Duff side by side in the early 2000s, the sisters once seemed inseparable. Now, Hilary is opening up about a very different reality.
In a candid appearance on CBS Mornings, the singer confirmed that her emotional new track, "We Don't Talk," is about her estrangement from Haylie Duff - a situation she described as "the most lonely part of my existence."
"It's definitely about my sister," Hilary shared, growing visibly emotional. "Not having my sister in my life at the moment... I really struggled with thinking about including that on the record."
The song appears on Luck... or Something, her first album in more than a decade. While the project marks a musical comeback, it also reveals some of the most personal chapters of her life. On the track, she sings, "We come from the same home, the same blood," capturing the heartbreak of shared history that now feels distant.
Though neither sister has publicly detailed what caused the rift, fans have noticed for years that the once-close pair have rarely appeared together. Hilary acknowledged that living in the public eye has made private pain harder to carry. "It's my truth," she said, explaining that releasing the song felt healing despite the vulnerability.
When asked whether she hopes Haylie will hear the track, Hilary responded thoughtfully, saying she is simply choosing to live honestly and move forward.
Family bonds can be some of life's deepest gifts - and sometimes its deepest wounds. In choosing transparency over silence, Duff's story resonates far beyond celebrity headlines, touching on something many quietly understand: the ache of distance, and the hope that honesty might one day lead to healing.
