Hilary Duff’s Dad Opens Up About Affair, Jail Time

Singer-actress Hilary Duff’s father is apologetic about his bitter two-and-a-half-year divorce battle and his recent stint in jail.

“I was unfaithful to our marriage,” Bob Duff tells Inside Edition in an interview airing Tuesday.

“I feel very badly about that and the effect it had on the girls,” he adds.

Bob spoke to Inside Edition after spending a day in jail for contempt of court.

“I have never been handcuffed before,” he says.

Bob says raising Hilary and Haylie Duff to be stars contributed to tension with his ex-wife, Susan.

“Susan was very consumed with the girls’ careers,” he says, admitting to extramarital affairs. “We simply grew apart.”

As part of his sentence, Bob was asked to pay $12,500 to his ex-wife for Hilary’s 21st birthday party and a present; Susan was seeking $25,000 for the charges. He will also have to pay $367,537 from the improper sale of stocks last month.
