Us Weekly reports that it has learned Hilary Duff has extended an electronic olive branch of sorts to ex Joel Madden, 28, and his four-months-pregnant love, Nicole Richie, 25, following the couple’s August 2 media blitz.
“After they appeared on Good Morning America, Hilary breezily texted Joel congratulations on the pregnancy, and Joel warmly responded,” a source tells the weekly entertainment magazine.
Hilary, 19, now on tour in Canada in support of her hit album Dignity, has been dating New York Islanders player Mike Comrie, 26, for several weeks. The hockey star even jetted to Vancouver to catch Duff’s August 3 Pacific Coliseum show, where he watched from backstage and chatted with Duff’s sis, Haylie, 22.
“Hilary plays it coy, but she’s really into him. He’s the first guy she’s been serious about since splitting with Joel,” says the insider. “He’s like Joel – he looks tough, but he’s a really nice guy. They’re just great together.
