Hilary Duff was scared her divorce would 'f*** up' her son

Hilary Duff was scared her divorce would "f*** up" her son.

The 38-year-old star and her 45-year-old retired NHL athlete former husband Mike Comrie separated in 2014 after less than four years of marriage, and their split was finalised in 2016.

She told the Call Her Daddy podcast: "It was a really scary time to just not want to f*** up your kid.

"You put all of your stuff aside and I had to deal with all of that later to just make sure that he was okay."

Hilary, who married Matthew Koma in 2019, and her ex were pictured last month at their son Luca Cruz's soccer match, and they will celebrate his 14th birthday on March 20.

She recalled how their relationship "just got to a point where it wasn't going to be".

She added: "I think he was good with it because I was like, 'Here's this, this, this.' And he was like, 'Great.'

"This was before conscious uncoupling was a thing.

"My parents went through such a bad divorce that calling it made it really painful, but like, we are not together anymore, so obviously it was bad enough that it just wasn't working."
