In 2009, Duff stated, "I am a Christian, but I also don't really see myself as a religious person. I see myself as more of a spiritual person. There are a lot of things that I do agree with in Christianity and things that I don't agree with. I'm not a regular churchgoer, but I do think that I have my own beliefs that I feel strongly about."[12]
In April 2014, Duff announced her engagement to Matt Rosenberg after a year and a half of dating.[13] She and Rosenberg have two daughters.[14][15]
