Hilary Duff Files for Divorce From Mike Comrie After His Wild Night Out: "He Totally Blew It," Pal Says

Hilary Duff finally decided to Wake Up.
Sources reveal exclusively to
Us Weekly what exactly pushed the actress
to file for divorce last month from
Mike Comrie, following four years of marriage and one very amicable-seeming year of separation.
Duff, 27, filed papers on Feb. 20, one day after the
Daily Mail reported about Comrie's behavior
during a wild night out at Beverly Hills hotspot Mastro's.
A source confirms the report to
Us, saying the former hockey pro was "aggressively hitting on" his waitress at the restaurant. The insider says Comrie was "calling her beautiful, telling her he wanted to take her out."
Comrie's advances, however, were rejected, which prompted him to go "up to another woman," the source says. The father to 2-year-old
Luca then "drunkenly threw money at [the other woman] and asked for sex."
A source close to Duff tells
Us that Comrie's behavior that night was the final straw. "Hilary finally realized Mike wasn't going to change," the insider explains. "He totally blew it and chose to live life like he was single."
Since the couple separated last January, the two have remained friendly and amicable, even
spending Valentine's Day 2014 together. On multiple occasions, Duff discussed their split, revealing during one interview that she was holding out hope.

"I mean, if there wasn't a chance for getting back [together], I think we would've filed for divorce," Duff told
The Kyle and Jackie O Show last September.
As for why she waited? Duff explained to
Us Weekly last May that they were "not in a rush for anything." She noted: "We are just trying to enjoy our lives and figure out what makes us happy and it's working for us."
