AceShowbiz - Haylie Duff and her long-time fiancé, Matthew Rosenberg, have ended their relationship after almost 12 years of being together. The couple, who share two daughters named Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7, parted ways earlier this year.

A representative for Haylie Duff confirmed to multiple media outlets that the breakup occurred around the start of the year. The spokesperson also requested privacy for the actress to protect their young children during this difficult time.

Efforts to obtain further comments from Haylie Duff's representative by E! News have so far not been successful.

The couple first made their engagement public in April 2014 after dating for two years. At the time, Haylie Duff shared the news on her website Real Girl's Kitchen, expressing how surprised and happy she was about the proposal. She revealed that the proposal happened on April Fool’s Day and described it as a heartfelt moment.

Plans for a wedding were initially put on hold after the couple welcomed their first daughter. Despite this delay, Haylie Duff expressed hope in 2021 that they would eventually marry, especially as their children began to ask questions about the difference between being married or not.

In an interview with Page Six that year, Haylie Duff explained that her daughter Ryan only started to understand the concept of marriage when she began school and noticed that her parents had different last names. This led to more conversations within the family about a potential wedding.

Even though the wedding had not yet taken place, Haylie Duff felt that their relationship embodied the essence of marriage. She said, "We feel married in a lot of ways. I mean, we couldn't be more married if we tried."

The couple’s move to Texas in 2021 also influenced their thoughts about marriage, with both envisioning the possibility of saying their vows there. According to Haylie Duff, moving to the Lone Star State sparked more frequent discussions about planning their wedding.

Despite these hopes and plans, the couple’s relationship ultimately ended in early 2024. The split marks the conclusion of a 14-year partnership that included an 11-year engagement.

Their daughters, Ryan and Lulu, remain a central focus for both Haylie Duff and Matthew Rosenberg as they navigate co-parenting following the breakup.
