Hilary Duff became a teen idol sensation 25 years ago by starring in the hit Disney Channel comedy series Lizzie McGuire. Since then, she has remained in the public eye as a formidable talent and a relatable girl-next-door, especially for the Millennial generation who grew up with her. On an episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Duff reflected on the show's cultural impact and the lasting significance of her iconic role.
"I could talk about the psychology behind this for a long time," Duff begins. "I think that Lizzie McGuire came out at the right time for an entire generation of people who needed to see themselves in someone safe — someone that was not flailing, but figuring out life. She was learning lessons, but she was also, you know, not really always fitting in. I think she just tapped that friend box of people who were also in the same boat as her."
Duff starred in Lizzie McGuire for two seasons from 2001 to 2004, as well as in the spinoff film The Lizzie McGuire Movie in 2003. Since then, she has built an impressive career as a global superstar, with credits in film, television, music, and entrepreneurship.
Reflecting on her journey from a Texas upbringing to Hollywood and beyond, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star admits she has known little else besides life in the spotlight. "I don't remember before 9 years old. It's been a relationship for sure. It's this weird part of my life that's like the only thing I know," she tells Hudson when asked about her current relationship with fame. "I don't know who I would be with that element removed, you know? There's some days where it's hard to walk into the grocery store. People are always looking at you, or kind of aware of what you're doing, and that doesn't always feel great."

She shares that while her younger children—Townes, Mae, and Banks—see her as a cool mom, she’s still working to convince her teenage son, Luca, of the same.
"My little ones are my number one fans. They want to be at all the shows—it's so cute. But my teenager... I think he doesn’t think I'm totally embarrassing. Some of his friends at school go out of their way to talk to me, and I’m like, 'Luca, look at all your friends right now. They’ve definitely seen me on TikTok. So, that is cool.'"
Either way, Hilary Duff remains on the move, delighting her loyal fans and family with her nearly sold-out "the lucky me" tour. The tour will continue into 2027, with performances scheduled around the globe.
