Hilary Duff has described the loneliness she feels due to her estrangement from her older sister, Haylie Duff. During an appearance on CBS Mornings, the 38-year-old singer discussed her new song “We Don’t Talk,” which fans speculated was about the rift.
“It's definitely about my sister and just absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment,” she told host Anthony Mason. The track appears on her new album, Luck…or Something. Duff explained that she initially struggled with including the song but decided it was her “truth.”
She also addressed the impact of growing up in the spotlight after rising to fame on Disney Channel. “It's hard to watch your life unfold on the internet sometimes with talking heads on TikTok speculating this, that, and the other,” she said. When asked if she hoped Haylie heard the song, Duff replied, “I don’t think that would help.”
In an interview with Glamour, Duff appeared to address strained relationships with both her sister and father, Robert. On her album, she also wrote a song about her father titled “The Optimist,” with lyrics expressing a wish for him to “really love” her. “That’s my family. Those are the people that affect you the most,” she said. “Just because you’re born into a family doesn’t mean that it always stays together.”
