Duff previously spoke about their decision to pause the wedding planning in 2018, as they awaited the arrival of their second daughter.
'We talk about it and think, "Maybe now we're ready to do it" and then life happens and toddler happens,' she told People.
'We feel married already and it hasn't become something that both of us are gung-ho about. Maybe after the craziness of a new baby dies down we'll be ready to talk about it again.'

Hilary kicked off her comeback tour in London in January, and fans were speculating that one of her new tunes was about her older sibling.
On the track, titled We Don't Talk, by singing, 'Don't know when it happened / Not even sure what it was about.'
She then dropped a big clue that the song was about her sister, singing, 'Cause we come from the same home, same blood.'
Hilary continued, 'People ask me how you're doing / I wanna say amazing, but the truth is that I don't know / What I always end up saying is how we don't talk / we don't talk about it / We don't talk about anything anymore.'
She then alluded to her Napoleon Dynamite star sister possibly being 'jealous' of her.

'And if it's 'cause you're jealous / God knows I would sell it all, then break you off the bigger half,' she crooned.
In an emotional turn, Hilary then pleaded for herself and her sister to bury the hatchet and hash out their issues once and for all.
'Let's have it out / I'll hear you out, you'll hear me out on the couch / Get back to how we were as kids / Let's break it down / So sick of being so sad about / How we don't talk and you won't talk about it.'
While on Shetty's podcast Hilary explained, 'As painful as it feels to share, when I decided to make this record, I could only talk about the things that I've gone through.'
The split comes amid Duff's feud with her sister Hilary, 38, who finally addressed their long rumored rift in March; The sisters seen in 2008
Hilary teared up while talking about the estrangement with Jay Shetty on an episode of his On Purpose podcast. 'My sister and I don't speak,' she said, adding she hopes it's 'not forever'
Although they were once close and worked together on showbiz projects like the 2006 movie Material Girls – a teen comedy inspired by Sense and Sensibility – the two sisters have not been seen together in public since 2019.
Fueling rumors of a breakdown in their relationship, Hilary's sister recently posted to social media sharing the viral article Ashley Tisdale wrote about her departure from a 'toxic mom group' that reputedly included Hilary, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
When We Don't Talk was released, conjecture exploded that the target was her sister, and Hilary confirmed, 'It's definitely about my sister,' on CBS Mornings.
'And just absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment,' she said, explaining that she 'struggled with thinking about including that on the record' before deciding to do so 'because it's my reality.'
She confessed she was 'not sure' that the song would 'help' repair their relationship and that 'I don’t know if she'll hear it. I don't know how she'll react to it. But it is a really personal part of my life that doesn't get to stay personal.'
