Hilary Duff's Husband Matthew Koma Slams Critic Over Speculation About Her Appearance
It looks like Matthew Koma is coming clean about what Hilary Duff has been up to.
The musician seemingly hinted that the Lizzie McGuire alum is working on new music while sharing a sweet tribute to her in honor of Mother's Day.
In one black-and-white photo shared to Matthew's Instagram May 11, Hilary sat in a recording studio wearing headphones, a light sweater, jeans and boots. The 37-year-old peered down at her phone while surrounded by several guitars and a microphone.
And that wasn't the only insight Matthew offered into where Hilary—whose last album Breathe In. Breathe Out. was released in 2015 and spawned the hit "Sparks"—is headed with her music career.
The "Clarity" songwriter also closed out his adorable ode to the "Come Clean" singer with a nod to her musical talents, writing, "Happy Mother’s Day ba. Now please go save millennial pop music, it needs you now more than ever."
Of course, Matthew—who shares kids Banks, 6, Mae, 4, and Townes, 12 months, with Hilary—didn't just have kind words to say about his wife of six years' accomplishments as an artist.
The 37-year-old also expressed his awe over the amazing motherhood journey the How I Met Your Father actress has embarked on since welcoming her eldest son Luca, 13, who she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

"I love being parents with you, so much," Matthew said. "Mostly because it gives me the front row seat to see how much our kids love you and there’s nothing sweeter."
In fact, the songwriter can feel her absence when she's not around.
"You’re there for the 1000 'moooom' screams a day, but when you’re hiding in our bedroom or on a trip, or just slightly out of frame, I get to see their desperation on a whole different level," Matthew explained. "And for good reason… you make them feel safe, seen, understood, heard, & truly unconditionally loved."
Noting that her ability to give their children and others the space to be who they want to be is like a "magic trick," he added, "You see the good because you are the good. And we love you something beyond."
