We study the production mechanism of self-interacting dark matter based on decays of a messenger WIMP-like state into dark matter and dark radiation taking place after the recombination. Such transition leads to a mild relaxation of the Hubble tension while simultaneously having the potential of addressing small-scale structure problems of ΛCDM. We illustrate the mechanism within a Higgs portal dark matter model which we find to be a promising avenue.
