Hilary Duff acknowledges that she is afraid her husband Matthew Koma would leave her for a "indie songwriter"
It appears to be that Hilary Duff's dreams are a manifestation of some of her fears. The singer recently acknowledged that, despite being blissfully married to Matthew Koma for almost seven years, she has dreams about her husband cheating on her and moving on with someone new.
In an interview with Rolling Stone that was released on February 19, the 38-year-old, “I always think Matt’s going to leave me for some coolio indie songwriter that he works with.”
Hilary was so terrified that she penned a song about it for her new album, Luck … or Something, about her husband's infidelity. However, Matthew, who contributed to the record's production, claims that "Holiday Party" is only a song.

Hilary's recurrent dream is "so insane but also very real," the 38-year-old artist responded to the confession by telling Rolling Stone, "Those are real things to get hung up on emotionally."
Hilary, who has sons Luca, 13, with her ex-husband Mike Comrie, and daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 4, and Townes, 21 months, with Matthew, sings about those inner feelings on her album, which will be released via February 20.
“That was the approach of the record,” she informed Rolling Stone. “What keeps me up at night? What are my insecurities? The themes are what 10 years has brought on. It was super healing to make something that felt exactly like me, and where I am right now.”
“It was really important to me to not make a record that was like, ‘I’m a mom and I pick up my kids at school and pack lunches every day and it’s so hard,’” she added. “It was not at all what I was interested in talking about. What I was interested in talking about is the shift in how it makes me feel, as a person.”
This also covers her tense connections with her family, such as her claimed falling out with her older sister Haylie Duff and her intermittent communication with her father, Bob Duff.
“There’s times where I talk to my dad and times where I don’t talk to my dad,” she revealed. “I do have a pretty sunny disposition, but a lot of s--t has gone down, and that’s life.”
In addition, Hilary stated that she felt obligated to be truthful with her fans regarding her song "We Don't Talk," in which the Lizzie McGuire alumna ostensibly sings of her distance from 41-year-old Haylie, even though they "come from the same home, same blood."
“I feel almost like when I got divorced [in 2015], where I dealt with it privately, and then the news comes out and you’re like, ‘OK, great. I’m going to deal with this all over again,’” she clarified. “I was prepared, a little bit. I made a choice to put that song on my record. That’s definitely the most lonely part of my life, and I struggled with, ‘Am I going to share this?’”
“People have known my life since I was a child, and so they know all the characters in it and they know what I’m talking about,” she went on. “For me, it was important to be open about that theme. It genuinely came from the heart.”
