Hilary Duff and her husband, musician Matthew Koma, marked their sixth wedding anniversary with a playful exchange centered around an unexpected metaphor: Taco Bell. Koma shared a throwback wedding photo and an Instagram Story tribute, jokingly comparing their marriage to the nostalgic experience of eating the fast-food chain in the late 1990s.
The Comparison Explained: Koma described the relationship as having “the same ingredients” but with “euphoria outweighing the tummy discomfort,” a lighthearted nod to the ups and downs of long-term commitment. Duff enthusiastically reposted the story, calling the analogy “so hot” and praising Koma for “always getting the assignment.”
The couple’s anniversary celebration also included a look back at their early days. Koma shared a screenshot of a 2015 calendar entry labeled as a meeting with Duff, followed by an email he wrote after they met, reading, “I wanna get marriedb [sic].” He added, “And I did,” to which Duff responded with a laughing emoji.
Family Milestones and Shared Life: Duff and Koma have built a family together since their intimate backyard wedding in 2019. They have three daughters: Banks (born 2018), Mae (born 2021), and Townes (born 2024). Duff also shares her son Luca (born 2012) with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie. The couple often shares glimpses of their family life, including previous anniversary posts where Koma referred to Duff as his “dream girl” and “best friend.”
Taco Bell as a Trend: This anecdote aligns with a broader cultural trend of celebrities embracing everyday rituals and casual references in their public personas. Selena Gomez’s Taco Bell-filled proposal from Benny Blanco sparked similar online commentary earlier this year, while the fast-food chain recently collaborated with Hollister on a Y2K-inspired fashion line, demonstrating its continuing presence in pop culture.
Creative Partnership: Beyond their personal life, Duff and Koma are also close collaborators in music. Koma celebrated Duff’s recent single release, “Mature,” calling her upcoming album Luck… or Something an exercise in “reclaiming what’s yours.” The couple’s playful dynamic extends into their creative endeavors.
The anniversary recap suggests that Duff and Koma remain firmly aligned in their marriage, balancing parenting four children, making light of shared nostalgia, and continuing to support each other’s careers.
Six years in, the couple is “crushing” it — as Koma put it — suggesting a playful, grounded approach to long-term commitment.
