Duff also shared her positive coparenting relationship with Comrie, focusing on sharing memories of their past and celebrating the joys of parenthood together.
Duff’s journey through motherhood has seen her evolve from a first-time parent at 24 to now a seasoned mother of four, navigating the ups and downs with grace and resilience. She has found support in her husband, Koma, and their blended family, creating a loving and nurturing environment for their children. Despite the challenges, Duff remains committed to prioritizing her role as a mother and cherishing the special moments with her growing family.
