Hilary Duff had three very special guests on stage with her during her second Lucky Me Tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
On Thursday, August 6, Duff, 38, brought out her daughters, Banks, 7, Mae, 5, and Townes, 2, for an NYC-style pizza party.
Duff’s daughters — whom she shares with husband Matthew Koma — brought out a pie from Joe’s Pizza during the star’s concert, joining their mom for a slice. As the girls bounded onto the stage, little Townes was seen leaping into her mother’s arms.
The Lizzie McGuire alum introduced all three of the girls to her sold-out audience at MSG, affectionately calling Mae “Mae-Mae” and Townes “Townsey Bear.” (Duff also has a son, Luca, 14, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.)
Just a day before Thursday’s concert, Duff revealed that she had been in the emergency room with Mae before her first show at the Garden on Wednesday, August 5.
“My kids are here tonight,” Duff said during Wednesday’s show, per a clip shared by People. “I can’t believe I get to show them this. We were in the ER this morning getting some stitches for my 5-year-old.”
Duff said that Mae was doing “fine” after her trip to the hospital and assured fans that “it’s all good.”
“But it’s very ‘our family-coded’ that I would be playing my first show at MSG and also be in the emergency room getting my kid stitched up,” she quipped, before telling her daughter, “Mae Mae, you’re very brave.”
The night before she brought out her daughters, Duff surprised fans on Wednesday by bringing out her ex Joel Madden’s band, Good Charlotte, for a rendition of their hit song “The Anthem.”
Duff and Madden, 47, dated from 2004 to 2006 and remain on friendly terms. Duff is also close friends with Madden’s wife, Nicole Richie.
“I have a good relationship with their whole family. We actually hang out all the time,” she said during a 2023 interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I was just in [Nicole’s] driveway, honking for her to come drink wine with us the other day. … Now, we get them to hike together all the time. And you know what? It’s lovely.”
Madden, for his part, told People in 2007, “Every girl I’ve ever dated I have respect for, and I always try to leave them [on] good terms. I don’t see the necessity to be friends with anyone you’ve dated, but definitely out of respect of the time, you have to be kind of respectful, and that’s what I try to do.”
