Hilary Duff has shared an update on the status of her relationship with Lindsay Lohan more than two decades after their so-called feud.
Appearing on Wednesday's episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Duff admitted she'd intentionally crashed the premiere of 2003's "Freaky Friday," starring Lohan. In turn, she wasn't surprised when Lohan -- whom she described as a "childhood nemesis" -- seemingly retaliated by attending the premiere of her film, "Cheaper by the Dozen," that same year.
"I'm sure my publicist will be like: 'What the fuck are you doing?' But now it's so many years later," she quipped, before going on to describe a run-in she'd had with Lohan in which the two women were able to mend fences. "Lindsay came up to me at a club once and was like, 'Are we good?' And I was like, 'We're good.' She was like, 'Let's take a shot.' I'm like, 'OK.' It was amazing."
Duff also claimed actor Chad Michael Murray might have been trying to stir the pot when he invited her to the "Freaky Friday" premiere as his guest. Best known for his portrayal of Lucas Scott on "One Tree Hill," Murray starred opposite Lohan in "Freaky Friday" before appearing in "A Cinderella Story," starring Duff, the following year.
"I don't want to start any more stuff," she said. "But he was like, 'You should come with me.' And I was like, 'Mm-hm. Probably I should.'"
Duff and Lohan both rose to fame in the early 2000s as the stars of Disney's "Lizzie McGuire" and "The Parent Trap," respectively. The purported beef between them began sometime around 2002, when fellow actor and singer Aaron Carter ended his brief romance with Duff to begin dating Lohan.
"I started dating Hilary on my 13th birthday," Carter later recalled. "I was dating her for like a year and a half and then I just got a little bored so I went and I started getting to know Lindsay."
Carter and Duff would go on to rekindle their romance before officially calling it off by 2003. Still, Duff and Lohan continued to exchange barbs in the media, and in 2004, Lohan appeared in a "Saturday Night Live" skit in which Rachel Dratch played a caricature of Duff in "Lizzie McGuire" mode.
"I wasn't honored," Duff told "Access Hollywood" at the time. "I'm not here to talk bad about her like she talks bad about me all the time. I just knew that it was going to happen."
She appeared to be on good terms with Carter at the time of his death in 2022, and honored him with a sweet tribute on Instagram.
Past love triangles aside, Duff has a lot to celebrate these days. Last week, she unveiled "Luck... or Something," her first album in over a decade. Many of the dates on her forthcoming world tour are already sold out.
