Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie split up a while back, but they seemed to be genuinely working on their issues. Until Mike Comrie was caught blatantly offering random women money for sex. Then Hilary couldn’t file for divorce fast enough. Sources told Us Weekly that when Hilary heard about that incident, she “realized Mike would never change” and that she needed to call it quits. So, with that knowledge, here’s Hilary’s brave, fearless single-girl Cosmo cover. After reading these quotes… she’s been ready to divorce him for a while.
On her marriage & divorce with Mike Comrie: “Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I’d been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me. Maybe it wasn’t, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn’t working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I’m lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this.”
On her view of marriage, post-divorce: “I don’t want to sound bitter because I’m definitely not, but I don’t know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can’t always fight. A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices. I just always want to fight for happiness.”
On Aaron Carter’s recent declarations of love for Duff on Twitter: “Him reaching out through social media? It’s ridiculous! But then people do it all the time, like Chris Brown and Karrueche? Come on, guys. Keep it between text messages.”
Her Hollywood crush: “Charlie Hunnam.”
Girl, Charlie Hunnam is everyone’s crush!!! Get in line! As for the other stuff… I don’t mean this in a rude or “talk to the hand” way, but Hilary’s comments about love and marriage sound pretty typical of a woman getting out of a marriage. I appreciate the fact that she’s not doing a bigger “WOE IS ME” routine, but pretty much every woman getting out of a marriage wonders if we are really meant to couple up for the rest of our lives.

I liked her interview until I read the name Charlie Hunnam.
You don’t like Charlie??? He is mmmmm yummy!
I don’t like any b*tch who likes him.
Where is Marty? I remembered the days we were both mocked for liking the “spencer Pratt” look alike.
Normally I would find someone like Charlie Hunnam a little ick- kind of dirty, kind of greasy- but there is something about him. Maybe it is the way he loves his cat. Or the way he can wear the hell out of pair of jeans, a suit, and even sweat pants all equally as well. He is a whole lot of sexy, but I have never seen him act in one thing so he may be blah on screen.
I liked her comment about couples on social media. Does the whole world need to know about your makeups/break-ups/love fest/hate fest??? No. We don’t. Wish more couples would keep it between text messages!
Her sentiments are no less real just because others felt it first!
I agree with her. I used to feel after a failed relationship that it must not have been ‘real’ love because it didn’t work out. But with maturity I realize it can be real love and still e short lived. Some people are meant to be forever and some are just meant to be brief but I want to believe there is meaning and purpose behind my past liaisons.
I think it’s like friendship. Some friends stay close for your entire life. Some seem to come into your life at a specific time for a specific reason, and the friendship may fade because you drift apart or something may happen that ends it badly. That doesn’t mean it didn’t have any meaning or value to your life, or that you can’t treasure the memories of the good times or remember what you learned from your friendship.
I was married unhappily before I was married happily, and I do believe I will be with my husband for the rest of my life. But I think that, as hard as it was, I may have needed to go through my first marriage to fully appreciate what I have now. So it had value to my personal growth.
Wow, both of these comments are so thoughtful. Well said.
I’m happily married and sometimes I wonder it too. I got married at 19 and we have both changed so much since then. I can only imagine how much we will have changed when we are in our 40s or 50s. Hopefully we will continue to grow together and not apart.
Isa , I also got married at 19 and I am now 34 – it’s rare to find someone else who got married so young like us so – Hey! Lol 🙂
I am still married but it is tough and we have our moments but even in our happiest times I have still wondered the same as Hilary. I don’t think what she said is just reserved for jaded women or upset women coming out of relationships. And that statement or questions like it have nothing to do with needing to find real love or “oh she just needs to find the right man” . I mean what’s that all about? Marriage is something constructed by society and religion so it’s not as second nature as people think or society wants women to believe.
It’s funny, about the together forever thing, Brad (Pitt) said something very similar once when he was still married to Jen. Hopefully she’ll find someone who changes her mind, but if not, she seems pretty happy with her life so yay her. She has always seemed to have a good head on her shoulders
Does she still sing? Anyway, hope she enjoys her life, with or without someone. Is Charlie Hunnam everydody’s crush? Didn’t know that, lol, and definitely not mine.
And man, I would never put my hands on a magazine like that. the things written on that cover are beyond stupid, nearly scary.
Huh? (re. your comments about the magazine – I’m intrigued by your comment but… what do you mean?!)
Her face and hair look gorgeous here.
She is a pretty, pretty girl!
Why did she get a cover? What is she promoting? Her divorce?
Why does she look like she needs to poop on the cover?
That cover photo looks really awkward to me.
It’s like she’s saying, Oh whoops!! You caught me!!!! I just happened to be bending over showing my boobs in this tight moto jacket and showing my legs off in these cut-off jean shorts!!!!!!
Weird. Weird styling and a weird pose and weird facial expression. Not model-y, not “celebrity,” and not “I’m just a regular mom” pose like Garner always gives to Good Housekeeping.
I really hope she’ll find a good guy after that big douche!
I hate Cosmopolitan. (the magazine)
I think her careful choice of words speaks loudly to the fact that Mike Comrie has a serious drinking problem and most likely some other behavioural issues stemming from the end of his hockey career. Professional athletes have huge egos and to be sidelined so early has left him with too much money and time on his hands, and little drive to do anything else with his life. He’s not a Rhodes Scholar and gave everything he had to his “enforcer” role with various NHL teams so where does that leave him? Likely with some serious self-esteem issues. I have to give her kudos for her diplomatic and caring attitude.
Clearly some people are meant to make it for the long haul because its happened countless times since the dawn of humanity. I do like how she said she chose happiness… can’t fault the woman in the slightest.
i agree with her comment. I’m married, the hope is to be together forever. But you never know what the future will bring. I want to be with my husband for a long long time, pref forever but everyone marries thinking they will be together forever and that is not always the case. I know that doesn’t support the Prince Charming theory, that a man will come into your life and rescue you and complete you and all this other b.s.
This is the worst Cosmopolitan magazine cover I have ever seen. Thered use to be these “Cosmopolitan poses”, you can see some examples here http://magazines.famousfix.com/tpx_2026121/cosmopolitan/2004_8
And I can tell it’s Hillary because I have just read it’s her. Too much photoshop
I always thought she should focus on modeling even when she was a kid. She can’t really act or sing well enough to make a career out of such things as an adult, she was just lucky as a kid and had an easy audience. She needs a lot of engineers for singing, always has. She was the weakest member of the cast on Lizzie and got worse as she got older. So those were never her real strengths. Her older sister Haylie was the one with more talent, which was especially obvious when they worked together on a movie (Material Girls?). Haylie was good, Hilary was not believable even in a role pretty close to herself. But modeling seemed like a better fit if she enjoys being in front of a camera.
I’ve always suspected Hilary has no genuine passion for singing or acting, she tries to pursue it because she feels that’s expected of her (her mother wanted such a career and dedicated herself to trying to make it happen for her daughters, so there’s a sense of family obligation). Haylie was self-driven, but Hilary never seemed to be. She liked the money and the fame but wasn’t interested in developing her skills in the craft despite opportunities falling in her lap. Maybe she needs to go in an entirely different direction. She must have plenty of money, and her child can keep her quite busy for a few years.
