Elsewhere in the conversation on Shetty's podcast the former child star briefly touched on her relationship with her dad, Robert Duff.

Robert and wife Susan Duff divorced in 2008 after 20 years of marriage. 

'My dad and I don't really have much of a relationship and we don't speak very often. It's hard because I think there's not a whole bunch of answers,' she divulged.

'It's really hard, I think, if a family breaks apart very dramatically,' the former Lizzie McGuire sensation noted.

Hilary was married to former NHL star Mike Comrie, 45, from 2010-2016 and they share 13-year-old son Luca.

'When it came for me getting divorced, I was like, "I'm not going to have that,"' she said about her parents' contentious breakup.

'We're going to do holidays together as much as we can. Not that it was always easy, but it felt way easier than the alternative,' the singer reflected.
