Watch: Hilary Duff Shares Daughter Mae Was in Emergency Room Hours Before MSG Debut
Hilary Duff and her daughters indulging in a mid-show snack break? Why not!
As the “Wake Up” singer performed her second consecutive show at Madison Square Garden as part of her Lucky Me tour, she was joined by her and Matthew Koma’s three daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 5, and Townes, 2, for a sweet on-stage moment.
During a lull in Duff’s 21-track set Aug. 6, her and Koma’s daughters came up to indulge in a perfect Saturday, or rather Thursday night activity: eating pizza.
Banks appeared wearing a bandana wrapped around her head with a white tank top and jeans, while Mae sported a red tank top and jeans. Both girls sweetly waved at the audiences as they were introduced by their mom. Meanwhile, Townes—still a little too young to grasp her mom is a pop icon—stayed close to Duff’s side in a green tanktop and pants, gripping a stuffed dinosaur, as she was introduced as “Townsey Bear.”
As the New York crowd boo’ed the Los Angeles girls for indulging in less-than-ideal Joe’s Pizza, Duff told off the crowd shrugging, “We also like pizza in L.A.”
The trio took bites of their slices—with Duff splitting her piece with her toddler—and hilariously let Mae give her review. “It’s good,” the 5-year-old wagered. “But it’s cold.”
Naturally, her comment prompted the audience to burst out laughing, as Duff added, “I like cold pizza.”
The Lizzie McGuire alum wrapped up the sweet moment with Townes leaping into her arms and encouraging her daughters to leave the stage.
“I love you guys so much,” Duff mused, “but if we’re going to get to bed tonight can you guys take this pizza off the stage?”

As the “So Yesterday” singer—also mom to son Luca, 14, with ex Mike Comrie—led her girls off the stage with Townes on her hip, she chanted, “Best delivery girls.”
And Duff’s daughters’ sweet appearances prove that her middle daughter Mae is back to feeling herself after a quick trip to the ER for stitches, which the singer revealed Aug. 5.
“She’s fine, it’s all good,” Duff assured the crowd on stage, “but it’s very ‘our family’ coded that I’d be playing my first night at MSG and also be in the emergency room getting my kid stitched up.”
Although her girls didn’t join her on stage for the first night, she gave Mae a special shoutout, adding, “Mae Mae, you’re very brave.”
Duff’s MSG performances come as she ends her North American leg of her Lucky Me tour before setting off to the United Kingdom next month. And while the 38-year-old’s latest musical chapter will continue into next year, she’s already teasing more shows to come.
“I’m ready for my set list to change,” Duff toldPeople in April. “I’m ready to surprise people with some of the songs that I’m going to be singing and my new music.”
And considering Duff only recently made her return to music with the release of luck … or something earlier this year, she’s been floored by the warm welcome back she’s received from fans so far.
“It’s this very cool way to connect in our lives now — everyone’s grown up, and we feel like we have a lot of the same life experiences,” she added. “It’s like more real-world s–t, and it’s fun to mix those two together.”
