Hilary Duff’s son is going through the teenage phase.
On Friday, Aug. 28, the mom of four shared a picture of her son Luca, 13, before heading off for his first day as an 8th grader. The photo showed her son wearing a white polo and sweatpants, standing outside with his arms at his sides and keeping a straight face.
Commenting on her son’s teenage energy, the mom of four jokingly wrote in text over the photo, “8th graders won’t hold signs.”

The How I Met Your Father star welcomed her first child, son Luca, in 2012, with her then-husband Mike Comrie. Following their split, Duff began dating Matthew Koma. The pair got married in 2019 and welcomed daughters Banks Violet, 6, and Mae James, 4, in 2018 and 2021, respectively. In December 2023, Duff announced she was expecting her fourth child, and Townes was born in May 2024.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Duff revealed that she loves the “mayhem” of raising her kids. “I love when everyone’s full of energy and the house is buzzing. You never know what the day is going to bring or what your kid’s going to say,” she said. “We’re in the thick of it, and it feels good.”
In February, Duff mixed some mischief in her Valentine’s Day post. The Lizzie McGuire alum posted several pictures and videos from throughout the years via Instagram Stories to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Duff couldn’t help but add a little humor into the otherwise heartfelt message.
In several slides, she showed a seemingly normal celebration, with pictures of her daughters, Banks Violet and Mae, dressed in white, pink and red. The last image showed Mae having a meltdown because her balloon flew away.
“I can’t help it. I know I’m evil, but it makes me chuckle,” she wrote on a picture of her daughter’s balloon flying away. After she posted two more photos zooming in closer to her daughter’s face, before posting a selfie of herself with the text “Do I keep zooming ??” above it.
