Hilary Duff Explains Why She Went Public with Ex Jason Walsh

Hilary Duff is opening up about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Jason Walsh and why she decided to be open about her dating life with fans.

The 29-year-old actress made her former relationship Instagram official last October.

“I was like, ‘F–k it. He’s my boyfriend,’” Hilary told Cosmopolitan. “I just needed to make sure it was right. People don’t need to know my business until I really know my business, you know?”

“We were seeing each other for awhile. People don’t know the ins and outs of everything,” she added. “It was definitely my first more serious relationship since my ex-husband [Mike Comrie].”

Hilary and Jason are no longer together and just this past weekend, she made her public debut with new boyfriend Matthew Koma!
