Hilary Duff Opens Up on Mike Comrie Split in 'Elle Canada' December 2014 Issue

Hilary Duff rocks a flashy black dress on the cover of Elle Canada magazine’s December 2014 issue, out on newsstands now!

Here’s what the 27-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her new album: “When I decided to take a break, I was burned out and wanted to do smaller things that made me happy. Then I had Luca and was just sitting and reflecting on my journey; the thing I missed most about my old life was performing and being onstage. I didn’t really go into this thinking ‘Oh, this is going to be my big musical comeback.’ I just started writing and it started to feel good in my bones again.”

On the media attention surrounding her split from husband Mike Comrie: “I have a good therapist! [Laughs] I’ve dealt with [attention] for such a long time. But some of the bigger struggles that came my way in the past two years�”like my separation or when my parents separated�”were the first times I had to deal with people knowing about something personal happening to my family. It just felt so invasive and insensitive. It got really gross, and I think part of you gets a bit desensitized. The best way to handle it is by just owning your sh-t. I’m human and this is what happened. None of us is perfect.”

On her show Younger: “I didn’t really mean to. My agent called me and was like, ‘I have a really good show; it’s a Darren Star show and he wants you for it.’ I said: ‘I can’t do that right now. I have Luca, and I definitely can’t move to New York.’ She told me to just read it. It was really, really good…. I either take a break or just slam myself full throttle, so here I am shooting the show and making a record at the same time again.”
