Hilary Duff playfully mocks her ex Joel Madden amid spooky season

Hilary Duff and her husband Mathew Koma playfully pranked their friends Nicole Richie and Joel Madden on Wednesday night.

The 37-year-old Younger star and Koma dressed up as twins Benji and Joel Madden for a pre-Halloween dinner double date with Nicole and Joel.

According to Daily Mail, the two couples share a close friendship, despite Hilary and Joel having dated two decades ago.

Moreover, Koma shared on his Instagram stories, "Going as @benjaminadden and @joelmadden to a Halloween dinner with @joelmadden and @nicolerichie," alongside a picture of themselves in the signature black outfits and flat billed black trucker hats of the Good Charlotte band members.

As per the publication, Nicole and Joel found the costume hilarious as both posted pictures of the couple on their own social media platforms too. 

Mathew dressed as Joel, sporting an MDDN hat, leather jacket, and chain necklace, while Hilary embodied the other Madden brother in a black cap, leather vest, and chain necklaces.

Interestingly, the couples are also neighbors, as Hilary revealed on a 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live as they stated, "We're neighbors. And we actually hang out all the time," while recalling how she had recently insisted on inviting Nicole over for wine.
