Haylie Duff and fiancé Matthew Rosenberg have split after 14 years of dating.

Duff’s spokesperson confirmed to TMZ on Monday, April 20, that the Napoleon Dynamite actress, 41, and Rosenberg ended their relationship earlier this year. Duff has asked for privacy amid the breakup to protect her daughters. (Duff and Rosenberg share daughters Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7.)

Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to Duff for comment.

Duff and Rosenberg started dating in 2012 and they got engaged two years later.

“This week has seriously just become the best week of my life!” she wrote via her Real Girl’s Kitchen blog. “As if announcing The Real Girl’s Kitchen tv show wasn’t enough, Matt just took me by total surprise and proposed … on April Fool’s Day of all days! The moment was genuine and sweet (like him!) and I couldn’t wait to say yes!”

Duff continued, “We are so excited and happy to share our wonderful news with everyone! We both feel so blessed to have the love and support of our family and friends and can’t wait to start this new adventure!”

Nearly a decade after getting engaged, Duff exclusively opened up to Us about why she and Rosenberg weren’t in a rush to tie the knot.

“We’re busy with both of the kids and jobs, and we always say, ‘We will at some point,’ and then life continues to be busy, and we still really like each other, which is good, I guess,” she told Us in April 2020. “At some point we will, but certainly now is not the time to have a wedding.”

News of Haylie and Rosenberg’s split comes a few months after her sister, Hilary Duff, confirmed that they had a falling out. (Hilary confirmed that her estrangement from Haylie inspired her song “We Don’t Talk.”)

“Absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment,” Hilary told CBS Mornings in February 2026. “It’s my truth, and so many people are [also] having this experience. It’s hard because I am me, and people know everything about my life since I was a child. I didn’t necessarily choose that part, but it’s my reality. It was honestly, like, healing to say.”

The following month, Hilary shared that she received a lot of support after speaking out publicly about her and Haylie’s strained dynamic.

“My sister and I don’t speak. And I think in my adulthood I’ve come across more and more people that are having this experience,” Hilary said during a March episode of the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast. “And as painful as it feels to share, when I decided to make this record, I could only talk about the things that I’ve gone through.”

Haylie has not publicly addressed her estrangement from Hilary.
