If only there was a direct solution to what is currently bothering them.
Because a full 10 years later, the 38-year-old is back with a new album – lucky for a February 20th release or something – but no more anecdotes about Hailey’s life with her daughters Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7.
Instead, she has a disc full of raw and incredibly personal lyrics.
“I just felt like I was really ready to share it,” the 38-year-old explained to Glamor, who wrote the majority of the album with her songwriter husband Matthew Koma and delved into much of it while being a father to daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 4, and Townes, 22 months. “One, I wanted to stretch my creativity, and two, I wanted to create something that would allow me to connect with people again on the same level that I’m on now. I felt like people were definitely going through the same big strokes that I went through over the last 10 to 15 years.”
Incredibly common themes include her family drama, Hilary’s rift with her parents Bob Duff, and the turmoil of Susan Duff’s 2008 divorce in The Optimist, where she wrote, “I wish I could sleep on planes and that my dad really loved me.”
And on “We Don’t Talk,” she addressed the long-rumored rift with Hailey, labeling it an “emotional eviction.”
