Hilary Duff Pregnant With Baby No. 4 — See the Christmas Card Announcement

Hilary Duff has announced that she is pregnant with baby number four! In a post on Instagram, the actress shared a picture of her family’s Christmas card, which reveals the big news, along with a group photo that shows her holding her baby bump. “Buckle up Buttercups, we’re adding one more to this crazy bunch,” reads a message in the card.

The How I Met Your Father alum has received a number of comments on the post, with one fan writing, “Ahh!!! I knew it!! All the belly covering photos and you are glowing!!” Someone else added, “The chaos and the love in that pic is what life is allllllllll about!” This will be Duff’s third child with husband Matthew Koma. The pair share two daughters: Mae and Banks. Duff shares her eldest child, son Luca, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

The news comes after Duff previously found herself being mom-shamed online back in January 2022 when Banks was seen riding in a car without being in a car seat. Over on Instagram, Duff’s former Younger co-star Molly Bernard shared a video of herself riding in the backseat of a car, with Banks sitting next to her. Many Instagram users noticed that Banks appeared to be sitting in the moving vehicle without being in a child’s car seat or booster seat, which is a safety requirement for all states.

In an interview with Romper, Duff spoke about motherhood and acknowledged the situation she got swept up in. “The other day…there was this huge story that came out because my friend Molly [Bernard] was in the backseat of our car with Banks without her car seat,” she said.

“It’s not like I’m driving on the 405 with my kids in the backseat without a car seat. You have no context. You don’t know where I am,” Duff continued, later admitting that she has, on occasion, allowed her children to ride up front while she is driving, but only in very specific circumstances. “Do you know how many times I let my kids sit on my front seat once we get [close to our driveway] to pretend like they’re driving home?” Duff said. She added, “You’re telling me you’ve never put your kid in the backseat to drive a block before with an adult back there? I’m like, ‘Happy New Year to you, too.’”
