Hilary Duff keeps her baby bump warm in overcoats… as she flashes peace sign on set of Younger

Hilary Duff has been hard at work on the set of the TV Land series Younger in New York City since October, with a break for the holidays and quarantine for a potential exposure to COVID-19. 

And on Friday the soon-to-be mother-of-three was spotted behind-the-scenes along with co-stars Sutton Foster, Kathy Najimy and Molly Bernard. 

The story of Liza Miller and company will come to its conclusion when the show ends after the upcoming seventh season, although a spin-off centered on Duff’s character Kelsey Peters is in the works.

With the winter chill in the air, Duff bundled up in a furry, brown overcoat that came down to just above her knees and covered up her growing baby bump.

At one point she was seen wearing the jacket over a black ensemble of pants, shirt and boots before shooting a scene.

She also donned a longer brown overcoat with black denim jeans, a brown top with sneakers and an orange beanie cap.

And with strict health and safety protocols in place due to the coronavirus crisis, and a baby due in a couple of months, Duff made sure to wear a protective mask at all times.

During one of her strolls past cast and crew members, Duff carried a bag full of necessities to her trailer, where she was able to take some time out to rest a moment and prepare for her next scene in front of the camera.

When she reappeared she took notice of an adoring photographer and flashed a peace sign, in a nod of respect.  

Foster was also seen walking along the same path to-and-from the trailers, prepped in costume, as was co-stars Najimy and Bernard.

Earlier in the day, before heading to set, Duff gave her 16.3 million Instagram fans and followers a glimpse at what she called ‘self-care’ from inside her bathroom.  

‘I’m out of breath because I just went up 3 flights of stair. oh and the 7 months pregnant thing lol,’ she joked when explaining why she was huffing and puffing a bit.

This will be Duff second child with husband Matthew Koma; they also have a two-year-old daughter Banks. She also has a son Luca, eight, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie. 

The single-camera series follows the trials and tribulations of Liza Miller, played by Foster, who lies about being younger for a chance to reboot her career and love life.  

Duff portrays Kelsey Peters, a book editor at Empirical Press who befriends Liza after they start working together.

So far there’s no official word on when the final season of the critically acclaimed series will premiere.
