Hilary Duff Speaks Out About Filing for Divorce
Published at
Michael Tran/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) — It took over a year after announcing their split, but earlier this week Hilary Duff finally filed for divorce from her husband, former NHL player Mike Comrie. The actress opens up in the April issue of Cosmopolitan, explaining why the marriage fell apart.
“Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I’d been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me,” she explained.
Duff added, “Maybe it wasn’t, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn’t working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I’m lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this.”
Duff reveals that her split made her reevaluate marriage altogether.
“I don’t want to sound bitter because I’m definitely not, but I don’t know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can’t always fight,” Duff admits. “A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices.”
“I just always want to fight for happiness,” she added.
Duff and Comrie, who wed in 2010, have a 2-year-old son, Luca.
