Nicole Richie reacts to Hilary Duff’s ‘Mature’ amid speculation about her husband

Nicole Richie is here for the Hilary Duff revival.

Richie, a 2000s star herself, took to Instagram stories Nov. 11 to congratulate Duff on her decision to return to music after a multi-year hiatus. Duff released her new single ” Mature ” earlier this month, marking a return to the studio a decade after her last album.

A bubbly, ’80s-tinged pop record, “Mature” sees Duff sing about her younger self dating someone older, before leaving such naivety behind. The track, a piece of “autofiction” according to a release, was خرید بک لینک co-written by Duff, 38, her husband, Grammy-winning producer and songwriter  Matthew Koma , and singer-songwriter Madison Love.

“She looks like shе could be your daughter / Like me before I got smarter,” Duff sings at one point. “When I was flattered to hear you say / ‘You’re so mature for your age, babe.'”

Duff was romantically linked to Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden when she was 16 and he was 25. He went on to marry  Richie , with Duff later marrying Koma in 2019 after her split from her ex-husband, hockey player Mike Comrie.

While some listeners hypothesized that the new single was about Madden, Richie’s post proved there was no bad blood.

“‘Mature’ is not the word I would use to describe us, but regardless, this song is a BOP,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and Duff lying on the grass, laughing hysterically with both clad in black.

“It’s definitely about a brief experience that I had a long, long time ago,” Duff told  Vogue  about the song. “It was extremely therapeutic to write about things that a normal conversation doesn’t really give you the opportunity to.”

Duff’s return to music will be supplemented by an untitled docuseries from ” Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ” director Sam Wrench. A release date and platform for the series have yet to be announced.
