Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split months after tying the knot – as singer is seen kissing Brody Jenner’s ex Kaitlynn Carter
MILEY Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have split less than a year after tying the knot.
News of the shock break-up emerged hours after the Wrecking Ball singer shared a picture on Instagram without her wedding ring and twerked in a video on holiday in Italy.
Miley was also spotted kissing Brody Jenner's ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter during a girls' getaway to Lake Como, Italy, on Friday.
“Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” a rep for Cyrus confirmed to E! and People in a statement.
“Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.”
The pair will still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while taking time apart, the spokesman said.
Miley and Liam, 29, married in December 2018, after dating on-and-off for ten years.
The pair have yet to share the news of their split publicly but have been spotted out over the past week without their wedding rings.
Miley shared a snap on her Instagram story showing her and her sister Brandi wearing face masks.
“Much needed QT (quality time) with big sis”, Miley captioned the image.
The break-up comes one month after Miley revealed she is still "very attracted to women", despite her marriage to Liam.
In a frank interview with the US edition of Elle magazine, the boundary-pushing star, 26, spoke openly about her "modern" marriage and how she isn't a "stereotypical wife".
The Mother's Daughter singer, who refers to herself as 'queer', revealed: "I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique.
"And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it...
She added: "I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f**king apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women...
"I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word."
Miley also revealed that she doesn't want kids until the state of our planet and the environment improves.
She explained: "We’re getting handed a piece-of-s**t planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child. Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I’m not bringing in another person to deal with that."
In February, the former Hannah Montana actress told Vanity Fair: “The reason that people get married sometimes can be old-fashioned, but I think the reason we got married isn’t old-fashioned — I actually think it’s kind of New Age.
"We’re redefining, to be f***ing frank, what it looks like for someone that’s a queer person like myself to be in a hetero relationship.
"A big part of my pride and my identity is being a queer person."
Miley and Liam met while filming the movie The Last Song in 2009.
They were previously engaged in June 2012 but called time on the relationship the following year.
In 2016 they announced the engagement was back on, and their surprise nuptials last year took place at their home in Tennessee.
