Who is Hilary Duff married to?
Duff has been married to Matthew Koma since December 2019.
Born on June 2, 1987, Matthew is a singer, songwriter, and music producer from Brooklyn, New York.
There wasn’t an instant spark, because I think when you’re walking into a professional meeting, you know nothing about the other person.

He collaborated with several big artists, including LMFAO, Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Clarkson, Zedd, Alesso, Tiësto, and Duff.
The couple first crossed paths while working on her 2015 album,Breathe In. Breathe Out., where Matthew had written and produced a couple of songs that were floating around Duff's label.
The two soon started a friendship while working on the album.
Hilary has said there wasn't an instant romantic spark due to their working relationship, but the two eventually dated for several years and had their first daughter while dating.
Matthew later proposed to Hilary in New York in May 2019 with a handmade book about their life.
Hilary told Vogue: "It’s our whole entire story mapped out for us to refer back to as we get older and for our kids to know, which is amazing.
"I [got] to the very last page, and there’s a little piece that I have to lift up and my ring was inside. It was so sweet. It was really special and really simple, which is very much how we are and how we operate. Then it started raining, and it was perfect."

The two released a song together in 2020 called Never Let You Go by RAC, which featured the couple.
What was the Hilary Duff car seat controversy?
On January 3, 2022, Duff began receiving backlash from a social media post where her then-3-year-old daughter was spotted without a car seat, sparking a viral debate.
Many fans commented on the post, stating that Banks should be in a car seat due to her size and that they were concerned for her safety.
Her husband took to the comments section, where he clapped back at the haters and defended his family.
"You are truly a hero for speaking up,"Koma responded to one user, according to E! News.
Writing to another user, "You're the kind of person who cuts up a kid's Apple sauce, hey?"
While many fans call it a safety hazard, under California law, where the family lives, children under the age of 2 need to be strapped into a rear-facing car seat unless they weigh more than 40 pounds or are more than 40 inches tall.
Children under the age of 8 and shorter than 4'9" need to be in a booster seat or fully secured by a seatbelt.
