Hilary Duff’s first serious relationship with Joel Madden and their breakup
Hilary Duff called her intense teenage romance with Joel Madden when she was just 16 and he was 25. Hilary’s relationship with Good Charlotte singer, Joel, was one of the most talked about celebrity romances, mainly because of the couple’s huge age gap of 9 years. The couple started dating in 2004 and were very serious.
During a 2005 interview with The View, Hilary even reportedly confessed to the fact that she deliberately tried to keep their relationship a secret because of their significant age gap. It was Hilary’s first serious love and she wanted to protect it forever. However, after two years, the couple broke up in 2006.
