Joel Madden Subtly Reacts to Hilary Duff Song Allegedly About Him

by

Joel Madden is rejecting any rumors about him and Hilary Duff.

I was so touched to see Joel Madden publicly supporting Avril Lavigne’s new song, “Mature”! Everyone’s been buzzing about whether the lyrics are about their relationship from way back in 2004-2006, and it just felt really sweet that he’d acknowledge it and show his support. It’s nice to see them still being supportive of each other after all these years.

I was so happy to see Joel share his wife, Nicole Richie’s, Instagram Story! It was a sweet moment of Nicole and Hilary just relaxing and laughing together in the grass – it really made my day!

Nicole playfully disagreed with calling her and Hilary ‘mature,’ but enthusiastically declared the song a hit.

Hilary Duff’s new song, co-written with her husband Matthew Koma and Madison Love, details a past relationship with someone older than her.

In the chorus, the 38-year-old singer reflects, ‘She reminds me of my younger self, before I gained more experience.’ She also recalls being pleased when someone once told her, ‘You seem very mature for your age.’

The song sparked speculation that Joel was the subject of the lyrics, likely due to their significant age difference – Hilary was 19 and he was 28 when they broke up after a nine-year relationship.

On November 10th, fans on X began speculating about Hilary Duff’s new music. One user asked if the song was about her ex, Joel Madden, while another playfully suggested it was a song directly criticizing him.

Hilary didn’t address the rumors directly, but shared that the idea originated from imagining a conversation with her younger self.

You know, my song ‘Mature’ is really special to me. It’s like having a conversation with my younger self, looking back at something we went through together. It’s all about reflecting on experiences, making peace with them, and even finding a little humor in it all. Ultimately, it’s about accepting who you are and being happy with where life has brought you.

As someone who’s seen a lot of blended families, I’m always happy to hear stories that work out beautifully! Hilary Duff and her husband, Matthew, have really built a strong connection with Nicole and Joel, the parents of Matthew’s children. It’s wonderful to see them all getting along. Hilary shares her son Luca, who’s 13, with her ex, Mike Comrie, and she and Matthew also have Banks, who’s 7, Mae, who’s 4, and little Townes, who just turned 18 months. It’s all about creating a loving and supportive environment for everyone, and it sounds like they’ve found that!

She revealed on Watch What Happens Live in 2023 that she and her neighbor are close friends and spend a lot of time together. She even mentioned recently being at her neighbor’s house, playfully honking for her to join a wine night.

Hilary and Nicole are just one of Hollywood’s favorite friendships—keep reading for more.

I’ve been a huge fan of my sister-in-law’s films for years, so when I got the chance a while back, I asked her if she’d recreate some of my favorite moments. We even did a scene from My Best Friend’s Wedding, which was amazing!

Schumer was surprised when Lawrence accepted, but quickly realized Lawrence was incredibly down-to-earth.
