And just absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Disney Channel star Hilary went on to say that she has no idea what Haylie will think of the track but she wanted to include it on her new record luck\u2026 or something &#8220;because it&#8217;s [her] truth.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if she&#8217;ll hear it. I don&#8217;t know how she&#8217;ll react to it. You know, it is a really personal part of my life that doesn&#8217;t get to stay personal. So I might as well say how it is for me, and that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m trying to do. I&#8217;m not trying to say anything bad. It&#8217;s literally just my experience \u2014 and that&#8217;s really all I feel like sharing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHilary\u2019s new album, luck\u2026 or something, which she wrote with husband Matthew Koma, also features a song called The Optimist, where she examines her complicated relationship with her father.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s really challenging for one person to have major success in a family. In The Optimist, that&#8217;s what it feels like for me. And I&#8217;m sure it has to feel like that for him. Although I&#8217;m the kid. And it&#8217;s been hard to get back to a place of health.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThere&#8217;s a lot of themes of abandonment on the record. And to make songs about that with [Koma] and just have him further understand kind of my scars was really nice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Hilary spoke about being a child star after finding fame with Lizzie McGuire in 2001 and how she struggled to find her own identity outside of the show.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I think only something that I&#8217;ve come to see in my thirties, once I went through my uncomfortable phase of not wanting to be associated with [Lizzie McGuire] anymore, was like, oh, it&#8217;s just complicated to play a role on TV that doesn&#8217;t ever grow up.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And now I don&#8217;t care at all. And I am so overwhelmingly grateful for that experience. But it was really challenging to get to a point of peace with that.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI started to build my life and put my focus where I felt loved and seen for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/lonely-part-existence-hilary-duff-confirms-estrangement-sister-haylie-1438015.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 February 2026 Hilary Duff has confirmed her devastating rift with sister Haylie Duff. &#8216;It&#8217;s the most lonely part of my existence&#8217;: Hilary Duff confirms estrangement from sister Haylie The 38-year-old singer is estranged from her older sibling Haylie \u2013 who had a guest role in Hilary\u2019s breakout TV hit Lizzie McGuire \u2013 and Hilary [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":224157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[13759,1567,1806],"class_list":{"0":"post-224156","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-make-up","8":"tag-haylie-duff","9":"tag-hilary-duff","10":"tag-matthew-koma"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
