Hilary Duff isn’t letting the fear of striking out keep her from playing the game — mahjong that is.
Ahead of her Lucky Me Tour stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on July 8, the singer, 38, opened up about her newest pastime.
“My latest obsession, mahjong, is truly all I think about,” she said during a meet and greet with Aperol.
When she’s not playing the tile-based game, Duff also loves entertaining at home, even if her husband, Matthew Koma, 39, isn’t always as enthusiastic.
“I do actually love to throw a party myself. It’s Matt’s worst nightmare, truly, but I love having everyone over, maybe for a little too long.”
The hitmaker’s ideal night in includes delicious food, good drinks, and spending time with her favorite people.
“My perfect night in L.A. would be hosting my own get together with all of my friends over Aperol Spritz and lots of food. If we’re feeling crazy, I would even suggest doing it at the Griffith Park Observatory to get the perfect view of the city in while enjoying time with everyone.”
Even when she can’t squeeze in a full game night with loved ones, Duff still finds ways to stay connected.
“I call a friend for a quick lunch and have a sneaky Aperol Spritz when you can find 45 minutes to do so,” she noted.
That philosophy is one of the reasons the songstress partnered with the alcohol brand for its Share The Moment campaign.
“The ethos of Share The Moment has really resonated with me in this time period that has been so busy, where I’m really peddling as fast as I can to get everything done that needs to be done and pull all of this off. … It has helped to actually slow me down and give me some face-to-face time with the people that have made all this possible.”
Those times have been especially meaningful on the road, where Duff has reconnected with fans who’ve supported her since her Lizzie McGuire days.
“On this tour, I’ve been able to hear so many stories and share so many moments with people hearing about nuggets they’ve carried with them their whole lives. From helping someone to learn English or hearing that any of my work was a light in a dark time growing up. It’s made such an impact to feel that anything I’ve put out into the world has had a real effect on people.”
