    Hilary Duff helped two fans pull off the ultimate engagement moment during her Las Vegas show on Friday night (13.02.26)

    The 38 year old star kicked off night one of her Voltaire residency by helping the couple take their relationship to the next level during her performance of With Love, the night before Valentine's Day (14.02.26).


    As part of the show, Hilary brings fans on stage to recreate the iconic choreography from her Dignity era. Halfway through the set, she invited two audience members up for what looked like the usual routine... except this time, the moment had been secretly planned.

    After the trio finished the dance, Hilary suddenly paused and told the crowd, "Um, just one second," before handing her microphone to someone behind her. The audience instantly erupted as one of the fans dropped to one knee and proposed to his boyfriend right there on stage.

    Red confetti rained down as Hilary rushed in for a huge group hug, cheering them on as the ring went on and the newly engaged couple sealed the moment with a kiss.

    Hilary recently performed Lizzie McGuire song What Dreams Are Made Of live for the first time.

    The 38-year-old star - who played the titular character in two seasons of the Disney Channel sitcom - paid tribute to the beloved series in January, as she played the hit track from 2003's Lizzie McGuire Movie during a concert in London.

    Hilary was performing at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire - her first concert since 2015 - when she closed her set with the tune.

    The former child star was just 14 years old when she recorded the Disney track for the comedy film, but she's come to "love it" despite not remembering the sessions.

    She recently told the Therapuss podcast: "I will say, now I love it. And when I was filming the movie, I loved it.

    "It was just a weird time, and it wasn't technically my song. It was a Lizzie McGuire song."

    Over two decades on, Hilary admitted it is "a lot of joy" getting to sing the song, and she was excited by the prospect of adding it to her setlist.

    She said: "When I sing it now, I feel a lot of joy. I just think there was such a separation back then of me and my music and Lizzie McGuire.

    "I didn't really get to perform that song live, because I didn't own it.

    "But if I would ever tour again, I think maybe I would be allowed to manage to sing that song somehow....some way. Maybe, maybe. Hypothetically."

    Meanwhile, Hilary will release her first album in more than a decade, Luck... or Something, on February 20.

    She will then embark on the Lucky Me Tour, hitting up North America, the UK, and Ireland, and Oceania.

    The global trek is set to commence in June 2026 and will conclude in February 2027. The support acts throughout the tour are La Roux, Jade LeMac and Lauren Spencer Smith.
