Hilary Duffbrought son Luca, 12, to support her former costars' respective Broadway debuts.
Duff, 37, attended the Thursday, December 12, opening night of TheCult of Love, sporting a chic black dress and a leather trench coat. She posed on the red carpet outside New York City's Hayes Theater with Luca, who wore a checked button-down, black trousers and a cozy hoodie.
TheCult of Love is a new Broadway play costarring Molly Bernard and Chris Lowell. Duff appeared on Younger with Bernard, 36, and How I Met Your Father with Lowell, 40. The theatrical production also features Shailene Woodley, Zachary Quinto, Barbie Ferreira, Rebecca Henderson and Mare Winningham.
Duff has remained close with many of her former costars through the years, with Bernard even serving as the doula when the Lizzie McGuire alum gave birth to one of her daughters.

Duff is a mother of four, first becoming a parent in 2012 when Luca was born. She shares her only son with ex-husband Mike Comrie. Duff and her husband Matthew Koma, who wed in 2019, share three daughters: Banks, 6, Mae, 6, and Townes, 7 months.
"The one great thing about Matt and me is sometimes I think we don't feel old enough to have all these responsibilities. We're both the same age," Duff exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. "We're 37, and we don't know how to keep up. It's just our feet are constantly going. Maybe we're on a moving sidewalk or something, I don't know."
She added, "Whenever there's a need in the house, he acts like a really good assistant because he knows me. … It's actually taken me having four kids to realize that I can't control everybody's happiness and I can't be constantly the cruise director of everything."

Duff is also candid about her coparenting journey with retired hockey star Comrie, 44, after their 2016 split.
"[Luca and I] talk about [Mike] often," she told Grazia in May 2022. "I like to tell him about how I met his father, about the good times we spent together, about the greatest joy when I found out I was pregnant and how his father and I coped with pregnancy. It is a very sweet thing."
At the time, Duff also detailed her parenting style.
"I like to play with them and listen to them," she explained to the outlet. "Don't get me wrong, I'm also the one who imposes discipline in the house. It's all fun and games until they cross certain limits."
