Word has it that now that Hilary Duff is definitely single once again, Nicole Richie is scared to death that the Younger star is going to try and put the moves on her husband, Joel Madden. According to the latest gossip news updates, Lionel's fashion designer daughter has nothing to worry about as Mike Combie's not quite ex-wife is said to be dating her new album producer, Matthew Koma, and has no intentions of getting back together with her married Good Charlotte boyfriend.
26-year-old former Disney diva, Hilary Duff might like to pretend that she's some sort of middle-aged single-mom following her divorce form multimillionaire heir, Mike Combie, but the Younger starlet supposedly shocked Nicole Richie, 36, to the core when she recently posted an eye-popping bikini pic to Instagram:
A source close to Nicole explained to the National Enquirer that ever sense she heard that Hilary officially filed for divorce, Richie has been beside herself with worry:
"Nicole is convinced that Hilary is taunting her, and she'll make a play to win Joel back.
"Nicole's biggest fear is that Joel will dump her for another woman, so she took matters into her own hands.
"She's on high alert -- even doing random text and voice message checks of Joel's phone to make sure he and Hilary aren't communicating."
According to a close friend of Duff's speaking in the April 6, issue on In Touch Weekly, Nicole can go ahead and stand down now that Hilary is said to be dating Hollywood music producer, Matthew Koma:
"He's producing her next album, so they've been spending many late nights together in the recording studio and have completely bonded."
The informant goes on to insist that even though Hilary just got out of a marriage, Koma is already thinking about one day walking down the aisle with his new girlfriend:
"They've been out on several low-key dates.
"But Matthew feels confident that a relationship with her could last."
Besides Nicole...Joel is probably just acting a little miffed because he's just realized he could have probably married Cameron Diaz if he had only held out.
