that middle name is very different!
because it’s a german surname
Lol, a German lastname is different?
Wow her mom really looks mixed in the black and white picture, she looks latina there. But in the colored picture she looks a lot different. There she doesn;t look mixed except her eye shape is a bit questionable to me.
surgery perhaps?
I doubt her mother is Filipino.
What do you think she is ?
Her mother does look a little mixed but I havent seen any evidence of that.
Apparently she’s part Asian, her mother is half Filipino.
Her are her pics:

Never even paid attention,but can see it now in the pics
Some white people have Asian-like eyes. My husband and I both do. Neither of us are Asian or Native American.
That’s common with a lot of caucasians, My mother who is 100% right off the boat Irish has eyes shaped like that.
i had no idea hilary duff had so much mixed blood … and to think i thought she was dutch … boy was i wrong. :)
I never even thought to look either
