The funny thing about people that acted for Disney in the past is that people seem to have this image of them that they expect them to carry all through life..
Hilary Duff is “proud” of her body after giving birth to three children.
Less than a year after giving birth to her third child, the former child star Duff is “approaching her life and career on her own terms” by posing nude for Women’s Health magazine.
The 34-year-old actress said: “I’m proud of my body. I’m proud that it’s produced three children for me. I’ve gotten to a place of being peaceful with the changes my body has gone through.”
“I think at 34, I’ve just gained a lot of respect for my body. It’s taken me all the places I need to go, it’s helped me build a beautiful family,” Duff added.
Duff mother of three said she’s finally at “a place of being peaceful” with her body after years of trying to live up to Hollywood’s beauty standards. She is now married to Matthew Koma and has daughters Banks, three and Mae, ten months with him as well as Luca, 10, with ex-husband Mike Comrie, and she is “at peace” with the changes her body has been through over the years.
Duff told the magazine her struggles with accepting her body image as a young actress over the years:
“I’m proud of my body. I’m proud that it’s produced three children for me. I’ve gotten to a place of being peaceful with the changes my body has gone through. I also want people to know a makeup artist was there putting glow all over my body and someone put me in the most flattering position.”

Duff posted the magazine cover on Instagram, with the caption:
“Sooooo, this was scary….. I knew doing this would terrify me and I was right! @womenshealthmag had the most lovely all-women shoot and I actually had the best time. I felt strong and beautiful and laughed a lot getting into some of these poses without my high waisted mom jeans and oversized whatever I normally wear. Thank you to everyone who normalized this day for me and propped me up with compliments and love. @nikkilee901 you worked your butt off! @kdeenihan I live for the no make up/make up look you give me and the “sheen” spray was ??@daniellamidenge I love these photos so much, thank you for capturing a moment in time where I felt both completely vulnerable but powerful.”
Here are some comments of folks online to now-viral photos of Duff – sparking both generous praise and discussion about body image and what’s really considered “empowering.”
