Singer Hilary Duff admits she has had a tough time ever since she split from husband Mike Comrie.

"I'm separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through, but we have a lot of love for each other and we have this beautiful baby," people.com quoted Duff as saying.

The 26-year-old has been working on her music and admits there's a song in her upcoming album about her separation and her feelings for her ex-husband saying: "It's very, very personal."

This will be Duff's first album in seven years and she will be seen clad in a bikini in her new video, "Chasing the Sun".

Ed Sheeran is also featuring in her new album.

The former Disney star said that music began to beckon her again when she was pregnant with son Luca, who is two-year-old.
