Hilary Duff can't really remember life without her two-year-old son Luca and says he has changed her completely.
Duff credits two-year-old Luca - her son with estranged husband Mike Comrie - for completely changing her priorities and outlook on life.
She said: "I feel like I don't even remember who I was before I had him.
"He's taught me about patience, which I didn't have before. Being in this business since I was 12, I constantly was busy and on the go. I think having him has helped center me and calm me down and make me realise that the little things are important."
And the 26-year-old beauty believes parenthood has made her a more confident person.
She added: "I've gotten a lot more confidence as a woman as a whole, not just as a mother.
"In my work and in my everyday life - I think there's a confidence that comes with motherhood."
And Hilary - who split from Mike in January after three years of marriage - even claims her son, who she dubbed a "30lb monkey", helps her stay in shape.
She added to website TooFab: "I was just away from [Luca] for 10 days. After spending the weekend with him, I woke up so sore. My shoulders and arms were dying. And he never sits down. That's a good workout."
