Hilary Duff’s Husband Matthew Koma Weighs In on Who “Mature” Is About

by

Hey now, hey now, Hilary Duff‘s husband has some thoughts about her comeback single “Mature.”

There’s been a lot of speculation about who Taylor Swift’s diss track was about, with guesses ranging from her ex, Joel Madden, to Leonardo DiCaprio, known for dating younger women. However, Matthew Koma, Swift’s husband, thinks the song was actually about someone much older than herself.

During a recent interview with Hilary on Apple Music 1, the musician joked that the song might be about Bernie Sanders. He explained he feels less intimidated by the 84-year-old politician than by some other people fans have speculated about, adding, “I have a few ideas of my own.”

Hilary playfully noted that singing about Bernie and other men his age would be too predictable. She jokingly listed examples like Dick Van Dyke, 99, Patrick Stewart, 85, Morgan Freeman, 88, and Danny DeVito, 81.

Matthew, 38, expressed a strong preference for the suggestions, saying he liked them even better than Leonardo DiCaprio. Hilary chimed in, adding that she’s a big fan of Danny DeVito.

He added to the Lizzie McGuire alum, “You love a short king.”

There’s been a lot of online buzz about Hilary Duff’s new single, “Mature,” with many fans speculating it’s inspired by her relationship with Joel Madden. The song seems to mirror the age difference between them – Hilary was in her early twenties when they started dating, while Joel was in his thirties – a dynamic reminiscent of their romance in the early 2000s.

In the song, Hilary sings about someone who reminds her of her younger self, saying, ‘She looks like she could be your daughter, like me before I gained experience.’ She also recalls being pleased when people told her she seemed older and wiser than she was, singing, ‘I used to be flattered when you’d say I was mature for my age.’

The song “Mature” seems to be about Good Charlotte’s lead singer, Joel Madden. However, his wife, Nicole Richie, who is good friends with Hilary Duff, doesn’t believe that’s the case.

She jokingly wrote on Instagram in November that ‘mature’ wasn’t the right word for her and Hilary, but added that the song they were listening to was fantastic.

For a closer look at Hilary and Matthew’s life together, read on. 

In January 2017, the couple publicly confirmed they were dating by appearing together on the red carpet at an Entertainment Weekly party before the SAG Awards, held at the Chateau Marmont.

Not long after appearing together on the red carpet, a source told TopMob News that the couple had broken up in March 2017. The source said their demanding work schedules led to the split.

By October 2017, Matt and his partner were back together, and he attended her 30th birthday party. A source told TopMob News that they started seeing each other again after Matt returned from tour. The tour had been a major factor in their initial breakup, but with him back, they resumed their relationship. She later shared on The Talk that this was actually their third attempt at dating, and she playfully suggested that “third time’s a charm!”

Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma announced they were expecting a baby girl in June 2018. Koma shared the exciting news on social media, writing, “We’re having a baby girl! She’s sure to be as lovely and kind as her mother, @hilaryduff – a wonderful new adventure begins.”

In October 2018, the couple welcomed their daughter, Banks Violet Bair, into the family. The actress announced the happy news online, saying the new baby had completely captured their hearts and was born at home on a Thursday afternoon, describing her as ‘absolute magic’.

Almost two years after they first appeared together in public, Koma proposed to the actress.

Duff and Koma said “I do” in Dec. 2019, surrounded by their loved ones! 

Matthew celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Hilary by sharing a sweet message on Instagram. He thanked her for everything she did during the pandemic, praising her strength and resilience.
