Hilary Duff has shared an update on the status of her relationship with Lindsay Lohan more than two decades after their alleged feud.

Appearing on Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Duff admitted that she had intentionally interrupted the premiere of 2003’s “Freaky Friday,” starring Lohan. In turn, he wasn’t surprised when Lohan, whom he described as a “childhood nemesis,” apparently retaliated by attending the premiere of his film, “Cheaper by the Dozen,” that same year.

“I’m sure my publicist will say, ‘What the fuck are you doing?’ But now it’s been so many years,” she joked, before describing a run-in she had with Lohan in which the two women were able to improve their relationship. “Lindsay came up to me once at a club and said, ‘Are we okay?’ And I said, ‘We’re fine.’ She said, ‘Let’s try it.’ I say, ‘Okay.’ “It was incredible.”

Duff also claimed that actor Chad Michael Murray may have been trying to stir the pot when he invited her to the “Freaky Friday” premiere as his guest. Best known for his portrayal of Lucas Scott in “One Tree Hill,” Murray starred alongside Lohan in “Freaky Friday” before appearing in “A Cinderella Story,” starring Duff, the following year.

“I don’t want to start any more things,” he said. “But he was like, ‘You should come with me.’ And I was like, ‘Mm-hm. I should probably do it.'”

Duff and Lohan rose to fame in the early 2000s as the stars of Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” and “The Parent Trap,” respectively. The alleged feud between them began around 2002, when fellow actor and singer Aaron Carter ended his brief romance with Duff to begin dating Lohan.

“I started dating Hilary when I turned 13,” Carter later recalled. “I was dating her for a year and a half and then I got a little bored, so I went and started meeting Lindsay.”

Carter and Duff would rekindle their romance before officially calling it off in 2003. Still, Duff and Lohan continued to trade barbs in the media, and in 2004, Lohan appeared in a “Saturday Night Live” skit in which Rachel Dratch played a caricature of Duff in “Lizzie McGuire” mode.

“I didn’t feel honored,” Duff told “Access Hollywood” at the time. “I’m not here to talk bad about her like she talks bad about me all the time. I just knew it was going to happen.”

She appeared to be on good terms with Carter at the time of his death in 2022 and honored him with a sweet tribute on Instagram.

Past love triangles aside, Duff has a lot to celebrate these days. Last week, he released “Luck… or Something,” his first album in more than a decade. Many of the dates on his upcoming world tour are already sold out.
