Actress and songwriter Hilary Duff has admitted marrying at 22 was perhaps “too soon” and that her and ex-husband Mike Comrie didn’t have the “maturity” to stick out their relationship.
Appearing on CBS’ The Talk, Duff said the last few years have been plagued with judgement from the public after marrying and giving birth at such a young age.
“I felt like I was judged for having a baby too soon and getting married too soon. And now, I’m pigeon-holed for being a mum,” she told the panel.
“There are lots of other women in the industry who don’t have children yet are judged for not having a child. As women we are the most in demand, and the most desirable but the most judged and hardest on one another under such scrutiny. Nobody cares about men’s personal lives as much as women.”
Women confess times they felt like a bad mother. Post continues after video.
The 29-year-old added that although in hindsight the marriage started too early, it felt right at the time and she wouldn’t change those decisions for anything.
