Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are one of those couples that nobody could really picture together. So when they first broke up, it kind of made sense. But then they got back together, split up, and so on and so forth. 

But the biggest surprise was yet to come. In late December 2018, the couple secretly got married at Cyrus’ home in Tennessee. But less than a year later the couple called it quits for good.

Since the couple split, Cyrus appears to have made a 180 when it comes to sharing details about her personal life. She’s flaunting her relationships and has been active on social media.

Now a recent post has fans questioning the real reason for the couple’s breakup.

It’s hard to remember a time when Cyrus wasn’t an outspoken wild child. But, once upon a time, Cyrus was the star of one of the Disney Channel’s most popular TV shows.

In the mid-2000s young girls around the world obsessed over Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana was like the new millennium’s version of the Olsen Twins. Cyrus’ face was everywhere. There were dolls, tours, movies, and of course the TV show. 

One year before the show ended, Cyrus starred in The Last Song, opposite a certain Australian actor. The movie did moderately well at the box office but will mainly be remembered as the movie that brought Hemsworth and Cyrus together. The two stars began dating shortly after the movie began filming and became one of Hollywood’s cutest couples.

Over the next several years the couple had several break-ups and make-ups. In 2012, the couple announced they were engaged. But by 2013, the couple ended their engagement and ended their relationship.

Fans thought the couple was done for good when they called off their 2013 engagement. But, three years later, Cyrus and Hemsworth were spotted back together, again. Soon after, they were engaged, again. 

Fans were still skeptical about the couple’s relationship and questioned whether the couple would ever seal the deal. So it was surprising when the couple secretly tied the knot in a private wedding just before Christmas in 2018.

While the couple had a history of breakups and makeups, it still came as a shock when the couple announced they were breaking up just 8 months after they got married.

The couple’s relationship was odd enough, but how quickly they moved on was even weirder. Shortly after the couple parted ways, Cyrus was seen out with Brody Jenner’s ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter. That relationship fizzled and Cyrus moved on to Cody Simpson

When December 23, 2018 came around, what would have been Hemsworth and Cyrus’ one year wedding anniversary, Cyrus had something to say on Instagram. Though the timing could have been a coincidence, it’s hard to imagine the singer didn’t know the significance of the date. 

In her post, Cyrus talked about self-care. She talked about how important it is to take care of yourself and how she has been practicing self-care. Now fans wonder whether the singer was making a reference to her relationship with Hemsworth.

Was it just a coincidence? Possibly. But the post seems to echo the message released by the pair over the summer. In a statement, a rep for the couple announced the breakup: “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.” 

These statements are similar to what Cyrus had to say the first time the couple broke off their engagement. At that time Cyrus said: “This is the best time of my life. I’m not going to look back on it and be like, ‘I wish I hadn’t been dwelling over a breakup,’ you know? Because that’s not what God wants my life to be about right now.”

At this point, it looks like the couple simply wanted different things at this stage in their lives.
