The How I Met Your Father actress and her 36-year-old husband tied the knot in December 2019.

The pair have previously welcomed daughters Banks, now five, and Mae, now three, in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Duff's eldest child is 12-year-old son Luca, whom the A Cinderella Story actress shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

Back in 2021, Duff revealed in an interview with PEOPLE that she loves the "mayhem" of raising three kids.

"I have help, but babies just want their mom,” she said at the time. “Even Luca is still like, 'Mom, Mom, Mom.' Mom cooks the thing the right way, and Mom packs the bag the right way. It's crazy.”

The 'Come Clean' singer" also said that she loves the busyness that comes with motherhood, adding: "I love when everyone's full of energy and the house is buzzing."

"You never know what the day is going to bring or what your kid's going to say,” she continued. “We're in the thick of it, and it feels good.”

“It’s psychotic, I know. We might be. I don’t know. I love being a parent with Matt,” she said. “We are obsessed with our kids, even though we’re so exhausted."
