On Monday, US Weekly reported on behalf of the print version of Cosmopolitan that Lizzie McGuire star, Hilary Duff, dished on her relationship with Joel Madden in the April issue.

The newly-single-mother-to-one said of her then-boyfriend, Joel Madden, "I had a 26-year-old boyfriend [from age 16 to 19] so everyone can make their own assumptions about what I was doing."
Though her comment is vague, it does leave her fans thinking they were doing more than just kissing.
She also opened up about how she did a "massive friend cleanse" following the breakup from Madden.
"At 19, I did a massive friend cleanse. That was really hard, to sit down with people and say 'We can't be friends anymore.' They were like 'That's f-ked up; you're a bitch.' But having a good reputation was important to me. That's not to say I didn't screw up and do little naughties here and there," Duff said.
When asked if she ever had an "eff buddy," Duff revealed: "I've enjoyed myself. I think everyone should have something where you know it's not exactly what you're looking for but you just have a wicked good time. That was freeing for me and a bit of an awakening. It's fun to have a secret."
After becoming a child Disney star, Duff had to struggle with society's perception of her as she grew up.
"I don't have to prove to people that I'm an adult now. I am an adult. It's frustrating to be put in a box, but I never needed to wild out to show that I'm grown-up," she said.
