Hilary Duff is opening up about her decision to have children before marriage.<\/p>\n

Hilary Duff<\/a> goes her own way.<\/p>\n

The pop star, Disney Channel veteran, and millennial icon recently opened up about the decision to have a child with husband Matthew Koma before their wedding.<\/p>\n

Duff outlined her winding road to marriage and motherhood on Tuesday’s episode of The Morgan Stewart Show<\/a>. Duff said that she and Koma broke up and got back together twice before deciding, “‘We should have a baby.’ Which is psycho, absolutely psycho. Like three weeks later, I think I was pregnant with Banks.'”<\/p>\n

Before meeting Koma, Duff was married to NHL player Mike Comrie from 2010 to 2016, but they had been dating since 2007. The pair welcomed son Luca in 2012. After a brief relationship with personal trainer Jason Walsh in 2016, Duff met Koma, a producer, through a meeting arranged by a colleague.<\/p>\n

“Our meeting was, like, two hours long, and then I found, like, a month ago, that he sent an email,” Duff revealed<\/a> in February. “He wrote his manager and was like, ‘Two hours with Hilary, I think I’m in love.'”‘<\/p>\n

The couple weathered a pair of stops and starts before having their first daughter, Banks Violet Bair, in 2018.<\/p>\n

“We had the baby, got married, which was actually so fun,” Duff recounted. “[Banks] walked me down the aisle… It was really, really fun and cute… and Luca walked Matt down down the aisle, which was, I would recommend it to people.”<\/p>\n

Last May, Duff rang in Mother’s Day<\/a> with a special message shared to her social media, in which she attempted to “put into words how grateful l am for all that this life has afforded me is a sincere challenge \u2014 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 \u2014 it seems life is on the autobahn \u2014 what a ride.”<\/p>\n
