Hilary Duff Reveals "We Don't Talk" Is About Her Sister Haylie

It sounds like Hilary Duffis prepared to address the rumors surrounding her relationship with her elder sister, Haylie Duff. On January 19, Hilary performed a brand new song during the opening night of her Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour, featuring lyrics about two family members who have grown distant. Following years of quiet separation between Hilary and Haylie, the song "We Don't Talk" marks the first clear indication of the sisters' current status.

At first, Hilary did not revealwho specifically inspired the song, but that changed during a February 20 appearance onCBS MorningsIt's definitely about my sister," she confirmed. "And the most profoundly lonely aspect of my life right now is not having my sister with me.

It seems that Hilary "really had a hard time including that [song] on the album." Still, she discovered others who shared her situation. "It's amusing, as someone who exists in the world without my other half, many people are going through the same thing," she mentioned. "A lot of the discussions I have with people go like, 'Yeah, me too, me too, me too.'"

Prior to Hilary's confirmation, followers of the Duff sisters had speculated that the siblings had grown distant in recent years, primarily becausetheir absence of communication with each other and some pointed remarks. This speculation resurfaced at the beginning of 2026, whenHaylie upvoted an essay discussing a "toxic mom group"that many thought was made up of Hilary and her companions.

The rumors intensified a few days later, when Hilary performed her song "We Don't Talk" at her London concert. The track, which is onher new album luck...or something, revolves around a falling out with someone who comes "from the same home" and "the same mom."

Since we're from the same home, the same blood / A different mix, but the same mother / People ask me how you're doing, I want to say amazing / But the truth is I don't know

Hilary chants the song's title repeatedly during the chorus, indicating that she no longer maintains any relationship with the individual she is referencing in the lyrics.

"“We Don’t Talk" was officially launched on February 20, alongside the rest ofluck...or something.
