Hilary Duff is a mom of 4: Get to know her kids
Hilary Duff is known for her roles on shows like "Lizzie McGuire" and "How I Met Your Father," but at home, she's known best as mom.
Duff is a mom of four children.
She welcomedher fourth child, a daughter named Townes Meadow Bair, on May 3, 2024, with her husband Matthew Koma.
Duff and Koma are also parents to two older daughters, Banks Violet Bair and Mae James Bair.
Duff also shares son Luca with her ex-husband Mike Comrie.
On Mother's Day on May 10, Duff marked the occasion by sharing photos on Instagram of herself with her children.
"Trying to put into words how grateful I am for all that this life has afforded me is a sincere challenge," she captioned the photos. "Honestly thankful for my camera roll for capturing and reminding me of all the moments big and small that get swallowed up by the next and the next - it seems life is on the autobahn - what a ride."
Duff has described motherhood as both "hard" and "endlessly rewarding."
"I just love watching my kids form into their own individual unique selves," she told Shape magazine in June 2023. "I love my loud household with mayhem and the craziness and all the love and all the dirt. I love [parenting] with my husband."
"I love feeling like hugs and cuddles can make everything better," she continued. "I love the pressure of being like, 'How the f--- are we going to make it through this day?' And making it through the day and being like, 'I don't know how everyone is tucked in and fed and happy after all the things we've had to do today.'"
What to know about Hilary Duff's kids
Luca Cruz Comrie
Luca Cruz Comrie was born March 20, 2012.
On Luca's 13th birthday in 2025, Duff took to Instagram to share her thoughts on her teenage son, writing, in part, "I can’t go anywhere without people telling me what a nice kid Luca is. Sweet, heart facing forward with the coolest point of view."
Duff has previously spoken about her pride in having a successful co-parenting relationship for Luca with Comrie, whom she divorced in 2016.
"We are a unit and we're going to be a unit for the rest of our lives," she said in a 2020 interview with People. "We realized [as a couple] we weren't where we used to be, but I feel so lucky this happened when Luca was young because this is his normal now."
In an interview with PureWow that same year, Duff shared that Luca seamlessly stepped into the big brother role after her second child was born.
"He came in after I had her. I was just holding her, and the look on his face was an absolute shock. He just said, 'That's my sister!,'" she recalled, adding of their bond, "It's really sweet the way he looks out for her."
While celebrating his 10th birthday, Duff called Luca "the greatest kid around."
"Luca Cruz what a gift you are to all that know you. I can't imagine how it's already been 10 years since I got to first hold you in my arms and meet your big blue eyes," she wrote on Instagram. "This time with you has been something I can't even explain. It's my pleasure to watch you grow. To know your heart and be loved by you. You are magic and I can't wait to see all the cool things you do and will teach me over the next 10 years."
Banks Violet Bair
Duff's second child Banks, whom she welcomed with Koma, was born Oct. 25, 2018.
The actress announced Banks' arrival on Instagram with a photo of the couple cradling their newborn with loving smiles.
"This little bit has fully stolen our hearts," Duff wrote in her post. "She joined our world at home on Thursday afternoon and is absolute magic."
To mark Banks' 6th birthday in October 2024, Duff posted a fun video of Banks doing a backflip on Instagram, with a lengthy note in the caption, detailing her character and calling her "my sweets loving-intergalactic-mega spark plug-dancing-sassy attitude-good natured-rule following and sometimes boundary pushing queen."
"I'm writing this in hopes you read it one day because time is fleeting and our life is so packed full and feels like someone is pressing fast forward on a big remote I don't have control of," she wrote at the time. "The things you say or do might only last and week and then it's on to the the next just like that…I tell you every day how special your mind and heart are and you kiss me and fall into my lap and hold my face and look at me like I hung the moon but you hung my moon angel."
"You made mommy and daddy our family and we can't believe YOU were the little skittle that turned us into a family so big and bold and beautiful," she continued. "You showed us what we were made of and started the memories that we rely on and hold so close to our hearts. You're cool and good and smart and wise and beautiful. Like beautiful beyond belief."
