MTV trl dag 1
Här anländer hon till studion
På TRL
Det var i Måndags och Good Charlotte var där också, vilket inebar att Hilary och Joel såg varann.
Så här sa hon efter
"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."
Since their breakup, Madden has been dating Nicole Richie, 25, and Duff has been single (something she?s called "kind of exciting"). Still, Duff told Ryan Seacrest in January that she and her ex keep in touch and have "a great relationship."
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."
Och här visar Joel sin respekt för 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."
