AceShowbiz - Hilary Duff talks about her younger days in an interview with Cosmopolitan. "I had a 26-year-old boyfriend," she says when asked when she lost her virginity. "So everyone can make their own assumptions about what I was doing."
Without mentioning who the ex was, the former "Lizzy McGuire" actress also opens up, "I had a pretty serious relationship at a younger age that I ended, and it wrecked me for a good year and half."
Many believe she refers to Joel Madden whom she dated when she was around 16 and he was 26. After their split, she later dated Mike Comrie and married him while the Good Charlotte rocker dated and eventually tied the knot with Nicole Richie.
Duff also talks about "a massive friend cleanse" she did at 19. She says, "That was really hard, to sit down with people and say 'We can't be friends anymore.' They were like 'That's f**ked up; you're a b*tch.' But having a good reputation was important to me. That's not to say I didn't screw up and do little naughties here and there."
"I don't have to prove to people that I'm an adult now. I am an adult," the mother of one insists. "It's frustrating to be put in a box, but I never needed to wild out to show that I'm grown-up."
When asked if she has ever had an "eff buddy," she coyly replies, "I've enjoyed myself. I think everyone should have something where you know it's not exactly what you're looking for but you just have a wicked good time. That was freeing for me and a bit of an awakening. It's fun to have a secret."
Hilary Duff has a son Luca, 2 with Comrie. They split after four years of marriage.
