Hilary Duff & Matthew Koma

The relationship of Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma is unique to some extent. The most striking is that there were multiple periods of separation on the way to engagement. And who hasn’t broken up with an ex in the hopes of reuniting with them at some point? Duff and Koma, on the other hand, have proven that happily-ever-after is entirely achievable.

Their love story began during Duff’s 2015 album Breathe In. Breathe Out. She made her first public appearance with Koma in January 2017 at the Chateau Marmont for Entertainment Weekly’s pre-SAG Awards party. Though they had a good time, it wasn’t all plain sailing, either. The pair reportedly split in March 2017. Although the actual reason for their split is unknown, some credit it to “busy schedules.” Fortunately, their breakup was short-lived. Fast forward to October 2017, and their relationship appeared to be on the mend. Duff and Koma were ecstatic to begin their future together after their reconciliation that they brought their daughter Banks into the world by October.
