Hilary Duff made sure to spend some quality time with her daughters in Los Angeles on Friday morning.

The 35-year-old actress was first seen guiding her daughter Banks through one of the city’s bustling streets before returning to her car and beginning to carry her youngest child, Mae.

The Lizzie McGuire star, who recently celebrated a milestone event, kept it casual in a light blue tee paired with a matching pair of athletic shorts.

Duff also wore white Nike sneakers and accessory gold-framed sunglasses.

The How I Met Your Father star kept the sun out of her eyes in a beige bucket hat, and much of her gorgeous blonde hair fell to her shoulders.

The artist shares Banks and Mae, ages four and two, with her husband of several years, Matthew Koma.

The couple first met while working on one of the actress’s musical projects in 2015, and they started dating two years later.

Duff was previously married to former professional ice hockey player Mike Comrie from 2010 to 2016.

The two, who have remained on friendly terms since their split, also share a son named Luca, aged 11.

The artist eventually moved on with Koma, 36, and they started a family with the birth of Banks in 2018.

The happy couple tied the knot in 2019 and they welcomed Mae into their lives in 2021.

Duff spoke about raising children during an interview with romperwhere she said that she, as well as her husband, were deeply in love with their children.

“We’re obsessed with our kids, even though we’re so exhausted,” the actress said.

The singer also stated that she had developed an intense bond with her children over the years.

“I have the craziest feelings of guilt. I don’t know why that was my mother card, but I feel like I can never give my kids enough of me,” she said.

Duff also left open the possibility of welcoming a fourth child into her life during the sit-down.

It’s psychotic, I know. We could be. Don’t know. I love being a parent with Matt,” she said.
