Hilary Duff sat down to tell her 13-year-old son, Luca, after the birds and bees long before he heard her sexy Luck … Or Something songs.
“Well, he hasn’t asked about … some of the ‘Roommate’ lyrics or something,” Duff, 38, said on the Tuesday, March 3, episode of the “Table Manners” podcast, referring to the song’s lines about masturbation and porn. “He doesn’t bring it up, but we’ve already had the talk about everything.”
Duff, who shares her son with ex-husband Mike Comrie, added that she’s “explained everything” to Luca, without offering further details about the nature of the mother-son conversation.
“I’ve already thought about [whether he’d be embarrassed by my music],” the pop star noted. “I really desperately love to embarrass him. I feel like that’s my right as a parent, but his friends think I’m cool for the time being. Sometimes I ask if it’s embarrassing to him, [but] he’s the kindest, sweetest angel baby of all time.”
Instead of being mortified by Duff’s risqué lyrics, Luca often tells her how “proud” he is of her accomplishments.
“It makes me want to cry [that] he’s really proud,” she said. “But, if he does ask something, I’m going to be, like, ‘Hey, guess what? Outside of being your mom, I’m a human.’”
Duff, who also shares three daughters with husband Matthew Koma, welcomed Luca when she was 24 years old.
“[I was] really young,” she said on Tuesday’s episode of becoming a mom. “I was so ready to have something that belonged to just me, you know? I was ready [and] he was planned, but it was really a wild choice when I look back as a 38-year-old now. I’m, like, ‘Who was that pregnant?’ Even though I employed people and made millions of dollars and traveled around the world with a major, major job. [Having a baby] was definitely the biggest grown-up responsibility.”
Luck … Or Something is Duff’s first album in 10 years, which she wrote and produced with Koma, 38. All of the songs are inspired by the former Disney Channel star’s real life.
“I’m not making music for my kids. I’m not making music for 7-year-olds,” Duff said on “Call Her Daddy” last month. “I’m making music for myself. I’m making music for people like myself. I was singing crazy lyrics when I was young, too, that I had no idea what they meant.”
She continued at the time, “I think there was no way for me to make a record after 10 years and not dig into what those 10 years have looked like, the big things that have happened and that affect me and that make me who I am. Unfortunately, a lot of that has not been great stuff. That’s life.”
