Hilary And Joel Front Teen People’s ‘Love Issue’

Hilary Duff and Joel Madden are featured on the cover of Teen People’s “Love Issue”, where the teen queen broached the sensitive subject of their age difference. “All you’d ever read about in magazines was 16-year-old Hilary Duff and 24-year-old Joel Madden,” Hilary complained. “But we were on the same level, even though he was so much older.” The Good Charlotte singer added, “I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing.’ I don’t care what the press would say, I cared what my mom would say. But I couldn’t get [Hilary] off my mind. We were just friends for four or five months.” Asked about their future, Joel revealed, “We think about the future, but not marriage. I just hope we’re always happy.” Hilary agreed with that, adding, “I can’t ever think about being apart from Joel. We just feel so comfortable with each other, and we know that we’re not going anywhere.”
