Hilary Duff has denied that her split from Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden inspired her, the songs ‘Gypsy Woman’ and ‘Stranger’ on her new album are not about Joel Madden’s new girlfriend Nicole Richie.


Hilary Duff said:

I’ve read that ‘Gypsy Woman’ and ‘Stranger’ are about Nicole but they’re not - they are about my parents.

I want Joel to be happy, and if she makes him happy… Obviously he’s going to find someone else, like I’m going to do.

She added:

The last thing I want right now is to be in a relationship. When you’re in a relationship you make decisions based on what’s good for both you and someone else. So now it’s nice to make decisions based on what I want - it’s empowering.

I just did TRL today and Joel was there, and it was the first time we’d seen each other and it was so, like, nerve-racking,

Duff, 19, told PEOPLE Monday at the 18th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City.

I knew that he was going to be there and he knew. It is what it is.

But Duff, who dated Madden, 28, for nearly two and a half years, was realistic about the situation.

I mean, what am I going to do?

she said.

It’s life.

So was their run-in awkward?

It was a little strange at first, but I wish nothing but good for him and I know that he wishes the same for me,

Duff told PEOPLE.

I’m happy and he’s happy and I think that’s all that counts.

In another interview, Joel confirms his respect for Hilary:

Every girl I’ve ever dated I have respect for, and I always try to leave them in good terms,

says Madden.

I don’t see the necessity to be friends with anyone you’ve dated but definitely out of respect of the time, you have to be kind of respectful and that’s what I try to do.

Hilary has been so freaked out about it, but Joel didn't think it was as big of a deal. They fought about it all the time. He wants less drama.

Hilary Duff welcomes the constant presence of the paparazzi, because it helps solve arguments between her and her boyfriend Joel Madden. Hilary Duff and Joel Madden need to smile in front of the cameras even if they are having an argument, because they don't want photos of them arguing on the press.


Hilary said:

If we're out some place, we could totally be fighting, but we'll be looking at each other (smiling) because there's a camera right there.

Then we end up forgetting we're in a fight, because we're laughing since it's not a real thing to do, and we're both such real people.
