The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Hilary Duff and Joel Madden are calling it quits.
According to the article: "Madden made a guest DJ appearance at Enclave on Wednesday night and openly talked about how he is currently single. Madden told clubgoers Duff broke up with him about ten days ago and that their eight-year age difference was causing problems. (Madden is 27, Duff is 19.)
After taking over the DJ booth, Madden mingled and took pictures with some ladies. Word is Madden partied at the club until close."
This is certainly a surprising development, as Hilary and Joel have had a charmed relationship up until this point. Just a few days ago Hilary was on the Tyra Banks show talking about Joel.
While this is definitely a legitimate source, Joel has been known to play jokes on the media in the past, so I'm not sure that I believe the story 100% - yet. I guess we will have to wait to hear from Hilary for further confirmation.
