Matthew Koma is celebrating wife Hilary Duff today and every day.
“Happy birthday to my childhood crush, Janeane Garofalo, and to my best friend in the entire world @hilaryduff …” Koma, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 28. “My favorite part about this day is how the people in your life get a chance to give you your flowers, and tell you how insanely much you mean to us. You make everybody feel like the center of your universe. Your friends, your kids, your family.”
He continued, “I don’t know how you’re physically or mentally able to be so present, give so much, and still make time for mahjong…but we’re all the luckiest to be on the receiving end of your love (and calendar coordination). You are everything good and bright on this space rock…and to wake up every morning, getting to face our days together, is winning the lottery again and again. Doing real life with you is my happy place, and makes everything outside of it seem simultaneously within the closest of reach and completely unimportant at the same time.”
Koma went on to gush over Duff’s return to music, which she announced earlier this month in addition to a docuseries that will offer fans a glimpse of her life.
“Working on your album with you this year, on your terms, framed how it works for you, has been the f***ing best and I can’t wait for the world to hear what it sounds like when you get to speak directly to your people without anything or anyone standing in the way,” he wrote. “This year’s going to be everything – high, low, overwhelming , scary, thrilling, exciting, full…and I have all the faith you’ll do it in only the way you can.”
Koma concluded, “I’ll be cheering front row (not actually cause Ticketmaster has this new queue system so probably more like row 6), but I’ll be there. I love you I love you I love you. Happy birthday ba! Welcome to 38!”
Alongside the birthday message, Koma shared a series of photos featuring moments with Duff, 38, including one where the couple locked lips.
Koma and Duff tied the knot in 2019. The couple share daughters Banks, 6, Mae, 4, and Townes, 16 months, while Duff is also mom to Luca, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.
One year after the pair welcomed Townes to their family, Duff gushed that Koma is “the best.”
“My friends in town right now from Toronto, and I haven’t seen her for a year, and we wanted to get a workout in,” Duff exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “So I was like, ‘We’re gonna do a 7 a.m. workout. You got the kids?’ And he’s like, ‘I’m on it. I got the kids.’ He packed lunches and made breakfast and got everybody dressed and drove them to school. Like, he’s in it.”
She continued, “He’s so hands-on, and then he’s also my best friend. We get in bed and just download information to each other at night, and it’s for fun. We’re really in the thick of it right now.”
