“We all love you beautifully, like you’ve always been here,” she added.
Koma praised Duff in an Instagram post on Tuesday, calling her a “literal warrior goddess of a wife” and also shared a touching photo of her home birth. He described her newborn daughter as “happy, healthy and stocky” and joked that she “looks like no one in our gene pool.”
“If anyone knows the whereabouts of @hilaryduff from about 9 months ago to now, please contact us for a reward,” Koma said.
