Despite throwing herself into creating new music, Hilary Duff recently admitted that her separation from husband Mike Comrie has been a struggle.
While speaking with Billboard's Pop Shop Podcast, Duff revealed, "I'm separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through."
Still, why not together, she does say they still remain on good terms together as they are still raising a child.
The 26-year-old announced last week that she will be releasing a new album later this fall. She also dropped a music video for the lead single, "Chasing the Sun," this week.
Duff admitted that she does sing "about my separation and my love for this person, that maybe we're not meant to be together, or maybe we are. It's very personal."
The former Lizzie McGuire star and Comrie split up back in January after nearly four years of marriage. Duff's rep released a statement at the time noting that they "mutually decided [upon] an amicable separation," but would "remain best friends and continue to be in each other's lives."
