Haylie Duff’s sister, Hilary Duff, welcomed her first child with husband Mike Comrie on Tuesday, March 20.  Haylie’s new nephew, Luca Cruz Comrie, weighs 7 pounds 6 oz.   Hilary made the official announcement about the birth Thursday evening via Twitter, where the new arrival immediately became a hot trending topic. New Celeb-Auntie Haylie tweeted: “Hilary Duff and Mike! We are so blessed to welcome Luca in to the world!”

Haylie tagged her tweet, appropriately, with the hashtag #ProudAunt.  Haylie and Hilary have always been close, having recorded songs together, acted in movies together, and appeared together at red carpet events.  Haylie was the maid of honor at Hilary’s wedding, and threw Hilary her baby shower, where she bought Hilary a baby bib that read “My aunt is HOT… and single.”  Hilary loved her shower, gushing “What an amazing day my mommy and @HaylieK threw it down! best baby shower! This baby is spoiled already! And this mama is wiped out!!"  The hot and single bib is a cute idea for the single Auntie to buy for the new moms in her life….Thanks, Auntie Haylie!

Congratulations, Hilary, on the new arrival, and Haylie, on your arrival in the Auntourage!
