Matthew Koma Slams Instagram Comment Criticizing Wife Hilary Duff’s Appearance – ryan

Matthew Koma just won the best husband award for defending his wife, Hilary Duff, against Internet trolls.

On April 15, the Younger actress, 37, posted a set of selfies to Instagram looking as glowy as ever in a sunny yellow outfit and pink glam. While the images received tons of praise from followers, one negative comment on Duff’s appearance particularly struck a chord with Koma — and not in a positive way.

After a fan speculated that the former Lizzie McGuire star had done “Botox” in Duff’s comments section, Koma, 37, quickly came to his wife’s defense, writing, “get fcked butterfly” (the singer’s comment was referencing the critic’s username).

Duff has not confirmed whether she’s undergone said cosmetic enhancement, but in a 2022 cover story for Women’s Healthshe brought up appearance-related treatments while talking about working on her mental health.

“We bust our ass to get our bodies in shape and to look the best we can. We get facials and Botox and our hair done and highlights and brows and lash lifts and all this s—. But I want to work on the inside,” she said. “That’s the most important part of the system.”

She’s also been open about the skincare routine she does to keep her skin tight and right. Earlier this year, she revealed that she received a facial called Aquagold that involves ingredients being penetrated into the skin with tiny 24 carat gold needles.”

Duff and Koma met in 2013 while working on Duff’s Breathe In. Breathe Out. Although there wasn’t an “instant spark,” the actress later told Vogue that she and Koma forged “a nice friendship right off the bat.” The pair were first linked romantically in early 2017 and dated on and off for several years until officially tying the knot in 2019. They celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in December 2024.

Throughout their relationship, they’ve welcomed three children: Banks Violet, 6, and Mae James, 4 and Townes, now 11 months. She also shares son Luca Cruz, 13, with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie.
