Hilary Duff Shares Sweet Selfie With Newborn Daughter Townes
Hilary Duff's romance really is a real-life Cinderella story.
The Lizzie McGuire actress and husband Matthew Koma proved once again they are one of Hollywood's cutest couples with their adorably sentimental yet hilarious fifth wedding anniversary tributes to each other.
“5 years married today to my dream girl & my best friend," Matthew wrote on Instagram Dec. 21. "As I lay next to you in bed, purely exhausted after our third consecutive 14 hour day of taking our 4 kids skiing – I feel like the luckiest. You chose me to do the impossible with. And as we navigate through the truly IN IT years, I think the most exciting thing is knowing on the other side of this, we get each other. You’re my favorite person to do absolutely anything and everything with."
The musician—who shares daughters Banks, 6, Mae, 3, and Townes, 7 months, with Hilary in addition to her son Luca, 12, from her first marriage—continued, "I know that may sound underwhelming considering my inability to tolerate the majority of humans, but you light this grinch up in a way that forces me to fully submit and coast closer to the #LiveLaughLove sun than I ever thought possible."
Matthew went on to thank Hilary for "knowing me better than I know me, and for steering me clear of so many traps I would’ve fallen right into without your North."
"I know we’re still at the starting line, but I fully trust you’ll lead us all the way home," the 37-year-old concluded. "And if not, I’m going to have a hell of a highlight reel to relive in my one bedroom condo in the deep San Fernando Valley that I share with a guy named Sid who burns incense and has a pet axolotl. You are my forever Luigi and I love you so much."

And no, Matthew wasn't referencing a certain Luigi who has become infamous as of late for a CEO's shocking murder.
As Hilary, 38, hilariously clarified in the comments, "As long as you mean the right Luigi I’m here for ever my baby. My big baby. It better be a big Diet Coke at lunch because we are going for the gold today. Happy 5 my lover (can this comment be my dedication?)”
The "Sparks" singer also shared her own gallery of wedding photos from their December 2019 ceremony on Instagram Stories writing, “5 years down @matthewkoma Forever to go. You’re my best friend… Best daddy.”

Back in January 2017, the pair confirmed their budding romance by posing on the red carpet together at Entertainment Weekly's pre-SAG Awards party at Chateau Marmont.
A Brief Breakup
Shortly after their red carpet debut, a source confirmed to E! News the two had split in March 2017. According to the source, the breakup was triggered by their busy schedules.
Rekindling the Romance
By October 2017, they had rekindled their romance, evidenced by his appearance at her 30th birthday party. "Since Matt got back from tour, they've been seeing each other again," a source told E!

As she later revealed on The Talk in December 2017, it was actually the third time they were dating. "Timing is such a big deal… third time's a charm!" she told the co-hosts.
