Duff previously spoke to People about what life as a mum-of-three was like, admitting that she 'loves the mayhem'.

The actor also gushed over her husband, saying how much of an 'amazing dad' he is.
"In this time of breastfeeding and craziness, he was like, 'I'm just going to be your assistant because I think that's how I'm going to be the most help to you in this timeframe'," she said.
"He has this really amazing way of looking at the big picture where I'm very much like, right-here-right-now — and he zooms out."
Duff and Koma first met in 2015 while working on Duff's album Breathe In. Breathe Out.
