HILARY Duff broke down in tears as she laid bare the heartbreaking feud with her sister.
The So Yesterday hitmaker – who is in the midst of a huge pop revival with new album Luck … Or Something – admitted the pair “don’t speak”.
Hilary, 38, first referenced bad blood with her actress and singer sibling Haylie, 41, in her album track We Don’t Talk.
The track also tellingly samples Gotye song Somebody That I Used To Know.
In a new podcast chat with Jay Shetty, she explained the delicate situation and how the ongoing drama is a “raw part of my existence”.
Hilary, who previously starred with her big sister on the pair’s infamous Lizzie McGuire TV show, fought back tears as she told the On Purpose podcast: “My sister and I don’t speak.
“And I think in my adulthood I’ve come across more and more people that are having this experience”.
She branded the situation as “a very raw part of my existence’ before she added: “I hope it’s not forever, but it’s for right now”.
Hilary said: “As painful as it feels to share, when I decided to make this record, I could only talk about the things that I’ve gone through.
“Like there would be no purpose to make a record after 10 years than to face, you know, what it’s been like.
“That’s my truth.
“And I really worked hard to lyrically make sure that I’m just speaking about my experience, you know?”
The sisters haven’t been seen together in public since 2019.
During her recent tour Hilary, who is currently relaunching her music career with a slew of stage shows, appeared to lift the lid on the fall out with her sister, and even blamed “jealousy”.
During her recent concert in London, Hilary introduced fans to the new song, We Don’t Talk.
In a clip of her performing the song on stage, she sung: “Don’t know when it happened / Not even sure what it was about,” alluding to their broken down relationship.
She continued: “Cause we come from the same home, same blood.
“People ask me how you’re doing / I wanna say amazing, but the truth is that I don’t know / What I always end up saying is how … ”
For the chorus, Hilary sung: “We don’t talk, we don’t talk about it / We don’t talk about anything anymore.”
It is in the second verse that Hilary alluded to sibling rivalry.
“And if it’s ’cause you’re jealous / God knows I would sell it all, then break you off the bigger half,” she sung.
A fan then took to social media to put: “WOWW… Hilary Duff just sung We don’t talk and it’s 100% about Haylie. But not mean at all. Basically telling her to reach out.”
Another agreed and put: “I think Hilary misses her sister!”
In another interview, she confirmed the spat was the source material for her track.
“Yeah, it is. It’s definitely about my sister,” Hilary admitted.
After years of silence, back in November Hilary seemingly addressed the feud between her and her sister while chatting about “family drama”.
Speaking to Rolling Stone about her musical comeback, the star said she feels “ready to fill in the blanks and share with people and connect with them on the level of now”.
She then told the outlet how she and her fans have gone through twists and turns and “have gone through a lot of the same things”.
“Whether that’s complicated relationships, anxiety, raising kids, divorces, trying to find yourself in adulthood, family drama…
“Finally I felt safe enough and comfortable in my own family to step outside and open that part of myself up again,” she explained.
Chatter previously swirled that the pair, who were once very close, weren’t getting along because of differing political views.
However, social media gossip page DeuxMoi claimed that the sisters fought over Hilary’s husband, Matthew Koma, butting heads with Haylie’s husband, Matthew Rosenberg.
