On the cover of Redbook's April 2017 issue, Hilary Duff manages to simultaneously look effortless and ridiculously put-together. In her interview, the multi-hyphenate mom to 4-year-old Luca Cruz Comrie opened up about mom guilt, coparenting, and the possibility of having more children.

Although she officially split from Mike Comrie in 2016, she has since been candid about having an amicable relationship with him. In Redbook, however, Duff does admit to having conflicted feelings about splitting her time with Luca. She said, "Some of my friends tell me, 'God, it must be so nice, you get a break from your kid because you share him.' I'm divorced and it sucks." She added, "Well, it did suck for a while; now it's just normal."

Ahead, read quotes from Hilary's open and honest interview.

On having more kids: "I've gotten over the fact that I'm not going to have a baby that's close in age with Luca. It sucked when everyone would be like, 'When are you having another?' I'd be like, 'Do you know what's happening right now? I'm not having another.' You get engaged: 'When's the wedding?' You get married: 'When's the baby?' You have a baby: 'When's the next one?' I'm cherishing the now. Besides, watch: I'll probably get some evil spawn of Hilary the next time around."

On learning to slow down: "I always feel torn or guilty about something. I'm not working right now, and at first I stressed about that, like, 'Oh, I shouldn't stay still this long.' And that's ridiculous. I have a child; it's totally fine to not be slammed all the time. It feels really good to not be on someone else's schedule — besides Luca's. I'm basically his chauffeur!"

On dating: "I never think being single sucks until I go out in LA with my girlfriends and the options are terrible. I really attract the old men!"
