Hilary Duff Has a Very On-Brand Reaction to Matthew Koma’s Taco Bell Take on Their Marriage
Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma just added “late ’90s Taco Bell” to the list of ways to describe a happy marriage — and Duff is very into it.
On December 21, Koma marked six years of marriage by sharing a throwback wedding photo and a long Instagram Story tribute to Duff. In the post, he joked that “everyone” said they wouldn’t make it — “OK just that guy in the Just Jared comment section but f*** him we’re crushing” — before landing on a fast-food metaphor for how their relationship feels. “Being married to you is like eating Taco Bell in the late 90’s,” he wrote, comparing Duff’s different moods to the “same ingredients” and saying the “euphoria outweighs the tummy discomfort,” per Us Weekly’s screenshot of the story.
Duff quickly reposted the Story on her own account and summed up her feelings in a short response: “It’s so hot being compared to Taco Bell. He always gets the assignment.”
Koma also used the Instagram Stories to look back at the start of their relationship. He shared a screenshot of a 2015 calendar entry labeled as a meeting with Duff and followed it with an email he wrote after they met that read, “I wanna get marriedb [sic].” “And I did,” he added, to which Duff replied, “Haahahahaha dork!”
Duff and Koma welcomed their first child together, daughter Banks, in 2018 before marrying in a small backyard ceremony at Duff’s Los Angeles home in December 2019. The couple have since welcomed daughters Mae in 2021 and Townes in 2024, while Duff shares son Luca, born in 2012, with ex-husband Mike Comrie. Over the years, both Duff and Koma have shared occasional glimpses of their family life and milestones, including their five-year anniversary posts in 2024, when he called her his “dream girl” and “best friend.”
Their Taco Bell love language also arrives as the chain keeps popping up in celebrity love stories and pop-culture tie-ins. Benny Blanco’s Taco Bell-filled proposal to Selena Gomez — complete with visible boxes in her engagement photos — sparked online commentary earlier this year, and he later told Rolling Stone the choice fit their preference for casual, everyday rituals. Earlier this month, Hollister’s limited-edition Taco Bell collaboration, built around Y2K-inspired hoodies, tees and jeans, began selling quickly online.
At the same time, Duff is leaning back into music with Koma as a close collaborator. In November, she released “Mature,” her first single in a decade, co-written with Koma and songwriter Madison Love, ahead of her upcoming album Luck … or Something, due February 20, 2026. Koma celebrated that release with another lengthy Instagram message about her new era, calling the album an exercise in “reclaiming what’s yours” and saying his main hope was that Duff loved the record they made together.
For now, the couple’s anniversary recap suggests they’re still exactly where they want to be: in the thick of parenting four kids, joking about old-school Taco Bell — and, by Koma’s account, “crushing” marriage six years in.
