Hilary Duff Shares Baby No. 4 Was 'Actually Planned,' Says Husband Matthew Koma Is 'Just as Crazy' (Exclusive)

The actress shares daughters Townes, Mae James, 3, and Banks Violet, 5 with Koma, and son Luca Cruz, 12, with ex-husband Mike Comrie

Hilary Duff is making it known that welcoming a fourth child was completely planned with husband Matthew Koma.

In an exclusive first listen to the Informed Pregnancy Podcast episode airing Thursday, July 18, the Lizzie McGuire alum, 36, shuts down rumors that the birth of her baby daughter Townes in May was unplanned.

At the start of the interview, which continues with a second part on Thursday, July 25, podcast host and prenatal chiropractor Dr. Elliot Berlin tells Duff that when anyone announces they have four kids, "Everyone’s first question is ‘Was that an accident?”

The actress laughs before answering, “No, we actually planned this baby." She adds, "I think I’m one of the most impulsive-thought-out people I know. Like, I do hash things out, but I haven’t really shared with anybody yet, so by the time I’m ready to get pregnant, I’m like basically pregnant."

The mom of four then emphasizes that having another baby was just as much her decision as Koma's. "My husband loves to make it seem like I’m so crazy, I’m so nuts, I’m like, ‘Let’s make our life this mayhem, chaotic place.’ But he’s just as down as me. He’s just as crazy," she says before recalling exactly how the couple decided that they wanted to have another baby together.

"When we decided, we’re both the same age, he’s like six months older than me, and I was really like, ‘I need to wrap my head around this. Am I done? Are we done? Because I’m fine with that, but I could go again.’ And he’s like, ‘I think I could go again.’ So we just decided we were going to do this."

She continues, "Luckily, it was really easy for us, and, you know, there’s two lines on the stick and you’re like ‘Oh s---, there’s two lines on the stick.’"

Now, Duff says, “We’re definitely done," adding, "Matt [Koma] got a vasectomy two weeks before I gave birth."

Last month, Duff got candid about what it's been like transitioning from three kids to four. The actress admitted that it's been hard to find time with all four of her kids, posting a few photos on her Instagram Stories,

In one photo, Duff showed herself breastfeeding Townes. "Never want to forget this and also the amount of time it takes is so complicated with so many other kids," Duff wrote over the photo.

Another black-and-white photo showed Duff and Townes snuggling in bed together. "I was very tired here. Because this s--- is hard," she wrote.

Later that night, Duff posted a photo of her crying baby on her Stories. "Just so it doesn't all look great...it's a s--- ton of this too ??."
