Duff, who is now 35 years old worked with Carter on an episode of Lizzy McGuire. The pair dated on and off for three years while still teenagers as per PageSix.
Carter then began dating Lindsay Lohan in what would become an extremely messy love triangle.
Years later in 2014, Carter admitted he still had had feelings for Duff as per US Magazine.
Duff, who was married and had a baby at the time told reporters she didn’t quite know what to make of Carter’s claims, telling one interviewer “I mean, that was so long ago” as per Buzzfeed.
