Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma have officially survived five whole years of marriage—and by “survived,” we mean thrived with the chaos of four kids, a love of Diet Coke, and what appears to be an alarming amount of skiing. Who knew wedlock could be this exhausting and adorable?
Flashback to 2019
Hilary, the OG Lizzie McGuire queen, and Matthew, her guitar-strumming dreamboat, said “I do” at an intimate home wedding that we can only assume involved fairy lights and Pinterest-level aesthetics. Fast forward five years, and the duo are still crushing this marriage thing despite what seems like a never-ending episode of Survivor: Family Edition.
Matthew’s Anniversary Love Note: A Poetic Roller Coaster
Matthew went full Shakespeare-meets-Grinch on Instagram, posting a swoon-worthy caption alongside their wedding photos. Highlights include:
– Declaring Hilary his “dream girl” and “favorite person,” which is high praise from someone who openly admits he can’t stand most humans.
– Acknowledging that raising four kids under 12 feels like conquering Everest—on skis, no less.
– Comparing Hilary to a GPS, guiding him through life’s potential disasters. Honestly, is this love or just really effective navigation skills?
He even hinted at his worst-case scenario: if their love story ever goes south, he’s fully prepared to reminisce about their highlight reel while rooming with “Sid” in the San Fernando Valley—a guy with incense, a pet axolotl, and likely a lot of opinions about kombucha. This man is clearly committed, if not wildly imaginative.
Hilary’s Response: A True Queen’s Clapback
Hilary, never one to miss a chance for sass, replied in the comments, “As long as you mean the right Luigi, I’m here forever.” The stakes? High. The Luigi reference? Iconic. She also demanded a big Diet Coke for lunch because, let’s face it, parenting on an anniversary requires caffeine, bubbles, and determination.
Instagram Tribute Time
Hilary, taking a break from wrangling kids and dodging moguls, posted her own tribute via Instagram Stories. “5 years down @matthewkoma, Forever to go ❤️,” she gushed, because obviously. She also dubbed him her “best friend” and the “best daddy.” (Matthew, if you’re reading this, congrats on the Best Daddy Award. Frame it.)
Meet the Chaos Squad
This power couple’s family includes their daughters Banks (6), Mae (3), and baby Townes (7 months). Oh, and let’s not forget Hilary’s firstborn, Luca (12), who’s probably just trying to survive tweenhood amidst all the skiing and Diet Coke runs.
Final Thoughts
Happy anniversary to Hilary and Matthew! May your marriage continue to be as magical as a perfectly chilled Diet Coke and as hilarious as Matthew’s Grinchy love letters. Keep slaying the parenting game, navigating the chaos, and proving that love (and laughter) conquers all—even skiing trips with four kids. Cheers to another five years of #LiveLaughLove excellence!
