Duff’s eldest child is 12-year-old son Luca, whom the former Disney Channel star shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

The Metamorphosis singer hinted at her hopes to expand her family in a Romper interview published in 2022.

“I don’t think [we’re done],” Duff said. “It’s psychotic, I know. We might be. I don’t know. I love being a parent with Matt.”

She gushed, “We are obsessed with our kids, even though we’re so exhausted.”

After her pregnancy announcement the following year, Koma documented his vasectomy via Instagram Stories.

He and Duff have been married since December 2019. They dated on and off for two years before tying the knot in their backyard.
