Music was Hilary Duff’s therapy after announcing her separation from estranged husband Mike Comrie. The 26-year-old talked about writing songs about the former NHL player and their son Luca during a Billboard.com Pop Shop podcast on Thursday, July 31, according to UsMagazine.com, “I’m separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through, but we have a lot of love for each other and we have this beautiful baby,” the actress-singer said. “There’s a song about Luca and a song about my separation and my love for this person, that maybe we’re not meant to be together, or maybe we are,” she added. “It’s very, very personal.” The couple announced their split back in January. Despite the separation, the two have remained amicable, with Comrie, 33, even stopping by with their 2-year-old son at her “Chasing the Sun” music video in July. Duff told listeners that her album was “a lot heavier and darker” after the split. “I think I just needed to get that out,” she said. “And once I did get that out a lot of fun came.” After nearly a five-year hiatus, Duff seems to be ready to take on her professional life once again. While away, she focused on two home renovations, learning to cook, getting to know her husband, and welcoming their baby boy. “The thing for me was that I really toured for five years straight…and I don’t think anyone gave me the credit as an artist,” she said. “I was having the best time,” she concluded, “but after about five years, I was like, I have no life, I have, like, two friends, I’m never home, I’m never with my family,” she explained of why she decided to take a break. “I kind of needed to shut it all down—it was time for me to be a person and learn who I wanted to be.”
