Haylie Duff and Matt Rosenberg Call Off Their 12-Year Engagement—Just 1 Year After Selling Their Austin Mansion for $2.7 Million

Haylie Duff has split from her fiancé, Matt Rosenberg, 12 years after they announced they were engaged—and six years after they relocated their family from California to the actress' home state of Texas.

A spokesperson for Duff, 41, who is the older sister of pop star Hilary Duff, confirmed to People that she and Rosenberg "ended their relationship" at the start of the year.

"She asks for privacy at this time in protection of her young daughters," the statement added, referring to Duff and Rosenberg's two children, Ryan Ava Erhard, 10, and Lulu Gray, 7.

Duff and Rosenberg began dating in 2012 and got engaged in 2014. At the time, they were living in California. However, they chose to relocate to the Lone Star State in 2021, after the COVID-19 pandemic, in a bid to give their daughters a more traditional lifestyle.

The couple initially moved into a sprawling abode in Austin, TX, which, according to property records, was transferred to Duff by her parents in 2021.

The expansive Spanish-style abode is located in the tony Spanish Oaks community of the Texas city and offers four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, as well as just over an acre of land.

It's unclear exactly how much the Duff family paid for the residence because Texas is a nondisclosure state. However, records show it was last listed at $1.95 million before they purchased it.

Duff and Rosenberg put that dwelling on the market in 2024 for $3.3 million. They would ultimately spend more than a year finding a buyer, with records showing the property was finally sold in April 2025 for a much lower price of $2.7 million.

Records show that Duff purchased another Austin dwelling in 2021: an enormous under-construction mansion that was not completed until 2022.

That property, which is still registered to a trust in Duff's name, offers more than 7,200 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Duff's name is tied to a second Texas property, a bare parcel of land in Bastrop, which is about an hour away from their Austin home. The property last changed hands in 2024.

The actress revealed in a 2023 interview with People that she had purchased a former hunting cabin on Lake Travis, which she described as the family's "hippie getaway."

"This home has kind of become our little special jewel box," she said. "It's like my place where I go to feel inspired and sort of shut off the world, and to spend time with family and friends."

The previous year, Duff had opened up to Fox News Digital about the family's life in Texas—and their reasons for relocating. She explained that she had always seen herself raising her kids in the Lone Star State, rather than in California.

"I grew up in Texas," she said. "Texas is my home state, and so I always imagined that I would come back to Texas and raise our family here and things like that.

"And we imagined it probably more as our girls were going into middle school or that age. But when the pandemic happened, we just kind of looked at each other, and we were like, 'Should we? Should we get a little more space and a little fresh air?'"

Duff confessed at the time that she was initially scared to leave Los Angeles because of the potential impact a relocation might have on her career. She ultimately realized that she would be able to have the best of both worlds.

"So much of my fear of moving out of Los Angeles was that my career was there and that I would never work again or something like that," she explained.

"This has all taught us that Zoom certainly can be a very powerful tool. And we can, you know, very luckily for me, get to continue to work from here, and I get to live near my dad, which I haven't lived [near] my dad in a really long time."

What is currently unclear is who will take ownership of what property in the duo's split—although records show that the Austin and Bastrop properties are both registered under Duff's name alone.

Questions are also already being asked about how Duff's separation from her partner might affect her estrangement from her sister, Hilary.

The siblings are understood to have fallen out amid a rift between Rosenberg and Hilary's husband, Matthew Koma—a subject that Hilary recently discussed during an appearance on the podcast "Call Her Daddy," on which she admitted that things between her and her sister are not in a good place.

When asked about her new song, "We Don't Talk," which focuses on their falling out, Hilary admitted that she hopes their rift will not last forever.

"My sister and I don’t speak," she admitted. "It’s very hard to be a person who’s had their life exposed in the industry for 25 years, and we were talking about, you know, that earlier tiptoeing around what the outcome has been for some of it...

"It’s a very vulnerable song, and it’s a very raw part of my existence. I hope it’s not forever, but it’s for right now."
