Hilary Duff announced the to her family: a baby girl named Townes Meadow Bair. The actor and singer posted photos of the baby’s water birth on Instagram to celebrate.
“I have been dreaming of holding you in my arms for months, and the past five days of getting to know you, stare at you and smell you has been pure moments of magic,” she wrote of her daughter, who entered the world on May 3, 2024. “We all love you like you’ve been here all along, beauty.”
Duff is married to musician Matthew Koma and the couple shares two other daughters, Banks and Mae. She has an older son, Luca, from her previous marriage to Mike Comrie.
Even with all the chaos of a house full of kids, Duff wouldn’t have it any other way.
In a June 2023 interview with magazine, Duff said, “I love my loud household with mayhem and the craziness and all the love and all the dirt. I love (parenting) with my husband. I love feeling like hugs and cuddles can make everything better. I love the pressure of being like, ‘How the f— are we going to make it through this day?’ And making it through the day.”
Still, the couple has drawn the line at four kids. Koma confirmed as much when he hilariously documented every step of his on Instagram.
Here’s everything to know about Duff’s three older children.
Luca Cruz Comrie
Duff gave birth to her first child, Luca, when she was 24 years old.
At the time, she was married to Luca’s dad, retired hockey player Mike Comrie, and she was among the first of her inner circle to deal with .
“I don’t remember setting him down for the first three months of life,” Duff revealed on “.” “I knew it was the most important, biggest job in the world, but it looks very different once you’re just in the household with the baby by yourself all the time.”
Duff and Comrie divorced after four years of marriage, but they will always be in each other’s lives for their son.
“We’re so ingrained in each other’s lives,” Duff said in an interview with . “I wouldn’t choose anyone else to co-parent with. We are really good friends and care a lot about each other.”
Luca, recently turned 12 and to celebrate the special occasion, the actress posted a March 20.
“Another year for the books Luca!!!!” Duff, 36, wrote in the caption. “Happy 12 my golden joy!!!!”
Banks Violet Bair
Duff and her husband, Matthew Koma (born Matthew Bair), welcomed their first daughter into the world on Oct. 25, 2018.
Duff told that she wanted to choose a “strong name, almost like a last name for a first name.”
“We were also living in SoHo at the time, and there was an event for a girl in prison for drawing or writing,” Duff said. “We were walking to dinner one night and saw it and I said, ‘Oh my gosh. We have to go with that name — it’s perfect.’”
In 2022, Duff told Cosmopolitan that Banks is a big fan of her singing. “We get in the car and I have to listen to my own music because my daughter’s screaming, ‘I want ‘parks,’ I want ‘parks.’” Duff said, alluding to her song “Sparks.” “Like, girl. I’m not rolling up to your preschool blasting my own sh–. So embarrassing.”
Mae James Bair
When Duff was pregnant the third time, she was — even in the delivery room.
“When she came out, I was completely shocked,” she explained. “We had a boy name picked out, and it was going to be Otto because I love ‘The Diary of Anne Frank.’ The dad’s name, who got her book published, was Otto Franklin, who was really good man. So then we were kind of scrambling at the last minute and both of our moms were born in May. So we went with Mae Mae.”
Mae James Bair was born on March 24, 2021, and she keeps her family on their toes.
Recently, this little “princess” turned 3. Duff posted in her social media. She included some images of Mae’s first days on earth, as well as what looks like a princess-fueled, action-packed birthday party.
In the photos, Mae shows off her elaborate face paint, her prowess in sliding into a pastel ballpit and her new friends, Mirabel and Elsa from the Disney movies “Encanto” and “Frozen.” She also gives Duff a sweet .
In the caption, Duff noted that “Mae Mae” loves jumping in puddles, “’pantry food,’ ‘leggins wiff a dress,’ ‘smoodies,’ made-up stories at night, your sis and bro, unicorns, adventures, clean hands, dancing to ‘Karma,’ doing things all by yourself and being fair!!”
