Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff’s worlds overlap more than fans realized. A 2016 home sale and a recent essay about mom-group drama connect the two Disney-era stars in unexpected ways.
The 2016 Home Sale
Tisdale sold her Cape Cod-style house in Studio City to Haylie Duff, Hilary’s older sister, for $2.7 million. She had bought it just a year earlier for $2.5 million, property records show.
- 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms
- Home theater and pool
- Haylie later sold it in 2019 for $3.1 million
Mom-Group Fallout
In a 2025 blog post and later The Cut essay, Tisdale described feeling frozen out of her mom circle after pandemic restrictions eased. Though she never named members, online speculation linked Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff to the group.
Tisdale wrote:
> “I was starting to feel frozen out… noticing every way that they seemed to exclude me.”
She eventually texted the chat:
> “This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”
A source close to the group told News Of Los Angeles:
> “Friends naturally drift apart. It didn’t warrant a dramatic breakup text.”
Key Takeaways
- Real estate records tie Tisdale to the Duff family years before the mom-group drama.
- Tisdale’s essay underlines how social exclusion can happen even among celebrity parents.
- Neither Tisdale nor Haylie Duff has publicly commented on the resurfaced connection.
The intersection of a house sale and a friendship fracture shows how small-and complicated-Hollywood circles can be.
