Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Split After Seven Months of Marriage

The world went abuzz when a while ago, it was reported that Miley Cyrus has married boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. The couple created waves with this news and in no time were flooded with congratulatory messages.

It may come across as a shock now to many out there as the couple has officially confirmed that they have split. The singer posted a heartfelt statement on Saturday revealing they had separated to ‘focus on themselves and their careers.’

It comes after Miley was spotted kissing Brody Jenner’s ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter during a weekend away to Lake Como in Italy on Friday. The pair have been friends for many years and are both recently single, TMZ reports.

A rep for the singer said in a statement:

Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.

They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.

While it may indeed as a shock to many, the same may not be as shocking to others. Some fans spotted something wasn't right with the former Hannah Montanna star after she was spotted posing without her wedding ring just hours before their split was announced.

The 26-year-old took to Instagram to share a picture of herself lounging by the side of the lake and perched on a grand wicker chair with her hands visibly wearing no rings.

Liam and Miley have dated on-off ever since meeting on the set of the Nicolas Sparks adaption of The Last Song in 2010.

They initially got engaged back in June 2012, however, they called it off in September 2013. In January 2016, rumors began that the engagement was back on.
