Hilary Duff’s Surprise Split From Husband Mike Comrie Confirmed! News Comes Days After Former Disney Star and Ex Hockey Player Go On Family Outing; Could Divorce Be Next?

The surprise split between Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie was confirmed by their representative in a statement sent to various media outlets. The announcement came as a shock since the couple even spent a day in Disneyland with their only son just before the New Year.

The representative of Duff said in a statement: "They remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives. They are dedicated to loving and parenting their amazing son, and ask for privacy at this time."

Duff also posted a tweet on January 11: "Mike and I are sitting here,we are so appreciative for all of your kindness& well wishes. Not an easy day but we're getting thru it together."

According to TMZ, Hilary Duff, 26, and former NHL star, Mike Comrie, 33, got hitched on in August 2010 in Santa Barbara. On March 20, 2012, Duff gave birth to their son, Luca. They started seeing each other in 2007.

Susan Duff, Hilary's mother, told TMZ that the couple already decided to separate and agreed to raise Luca together.

Apparently, despite the surprise split of Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie, there's no love lost between Comrie and Duff's family.

"They're better friends that married couple," Susan Duff said.

Meanwhile, to keep her mind off the split, the former Disney star is keeping herself busy in the studio working on her latest album which according to MTV is going to be a follow up to her 2007 album "Dignity."

People also provided another explanation for the surprise split between Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie. It quoted a source "close to the couple" who claimed that they just drifted apart since there was "no major incident" and "no big event" that could have triggered the split.

"They have put effort and thought into this decision for a long time. They tried couples therapy, but in the end, they realised at this time, they work better as friends," the source added.

Despite confirmation of the separation, there was no mention whether or not the couple are filing for divorce.
