Former teen queen Hilary Duff is done whispering, especially about her intimate life.
In a refreshing and frank conversation with the Los Angeles Timesthe singer aged 38 and over, who is promoting her new album lucky…or something like thatadmitted what many women might think but rarely say out loud.
“I finally feel like I know a lot about sex,” Duf said. “Throughout my 20s, sex wasn’t always enjoyable – it was so much to figure out. Now I finally understand it. Maybe it’s a woman’s thing, but I’m not ready to be put out to pasture.”
Translation? Confidence suits him well.
The album – her first in a decade – was largely written with her husband and producer Matthew Koma. It delves into love, growing up and yes, sex. Case in point: the cheeky bachelor Roommates where she sings: “I only want the beginning, I don’t want the end / I want the part where you say ‘Fuck’ / The back of the dive bar, gives you head / Then come home late, wake your roommates.”
But it’s not all playful nostalgia. During an appearance on CBS mornings, Duff confirmed that the emotional track We don’t talk talks about his estrangement from his sister Hailey Duff.
“It’s definitely about my sister and the loneliest part of my existence. It’s not about my sister in my life right now, and I really struggled to think about including that on the record,” Duff said.
At 38, Duff tackles every chapter – a difficult twenties, complicated family ties, and all.
And to grow old? “I’m only 38! Just because you’ve known me since I was 9… When do I start getting the discounts?”
