There may be trouble in paradise for Haylie Duff’s relationship with ex-fiancé Matt Rosenberg, but it could lead to reconciliation with her sister, Hilary Duff. Fans are speculating that the tide may be changing for the sisters’ feud, and the reason makes a lot of sense.
The Napoloen Dynamite alum and Rosenberg “ended their relationship around the first of the year,” a rep for the actress told Page Six on April 20. “She asks for privacy at this time in protection of her young daughters,” the statement continued, referring to Haylie and Rosenberg’s daughters Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7. Rosenberg, who Haylie has been engaged to for 12 years, may have fueled the rift between Haylie and Hilary, according to fans.

“Maybe this can bring her and @HilaryDuff back together,” one person wrote on X. Another wrote, “Isn’t he the reason Hilary doesn’t talk to her.” Someone else noted, “Oh the Duff sisters might reunite finally then.”
“If we see Hilary and Haylie this year together, we’ll know that he was the reason…,” one person wrote on X, adding, “Alexa, play ‘We don’t talk’ by Hilary Duff,” referencing the track from Duff’s album luck… or something about Haylie. In the song, she sings, “I’m not sure when it happened, not even sure what it was about / If I did something different, would you feel something different? Would you at least let me hear you out?”
DuexMoi previously reported that Hilary’s husband Matthew Koma and Rosenberg “don’t get along,” per Daily Mail, which reportedly escalated tensions between the sisters. If that’s true, maybe this breakup is the change Haylie needs to reconcile with Hilary.
In a November 2025 interview with Rolling Stone, Duff talked about the themes behind the songs on her latest album, released in Feb. 2026. “I’m ready to fill in the blanks and share with people and connect with them on the level of now,” she said. “My fans have gone through a lot of the same things, whether that’s complicated relationships, anxiety, raising kids, divorces, trying to find yourself in adulthood [or] family drama.”
Hopefully, we’ll get a new song about their reconciliation next album!
