We have some pretty major news when it comes to Hilary.
Not, not that Hillary. Not the one running to be President of the United States.
But the other Hilary, the one with just a single “L” in her first name… whose romantic status is no longer single.
Our rambling introduction is a long way of saying that Hilary Duff is now dating Jason Walsh.
The Younger actress and her personal trainer had reportedly been enjoying each other’s company for a lengthy period of time, but it wasn’t until Sunday morning that the star confirmed the two were actually in relationship.
And she didn’t leave any doubt in the process, not unless Duff is known for playing tonsil hockey with guys who are not her boyfriend.
That’s right: Duff and Walsh confirmed their romance via a steamy photo of the twosome kissing.
“Date night with J,” Duff wrote as a caption, just in case anyone somehow thought this to be a friendly smooch.
Back in June, E! News reported Duff and Walsh were “casually dating.”
But it sure looks like things have heated up between the two, even as the temperature outside has dropped.
“We’ve known each other for a really long time and he’s a great guy and we have a lot of fun together,” Duff said in September on Good Day New York of Walsh, adding:
“It’s nice to have that excitement in my life.”
Duff, of course, made headlines in the past for her personal life after she filed for divorce from Mike Comrie.
The two originally split way back in January of 2014, but the official paperwork was not completed until February of this year.
During that time, there were plenty of rumors about Duff and Comrie getting back together.
But there was also a rumor that Comrie paid a waitress to have sex with him, which we doubt sat very well with his wife.
According to TMZ, Duff and Comrie (a former NHL player who retired from hockey in 2012), have agreed to a joint custody arrangement when it comes to four-year old daughter Luca.
While neither half of the ex-couple will receive spousal support, the celebrity gossip website added this winter that Duff was forced to shell out a one-time payment of $ 2,408,786 to Comrie in order to cover the financial side of their split.
But it doesn’t seem as if Duff is harping on the past.
She’s focused on the future.
And she has a new handsome man on her arm (and on her mouth) to help her look forward.
