Miley's On-Off Romance With Liam Hemsworth

The pop star was in an on-off relationship with Liam Hemsworth for a decade.
Though Miley didn't identify any exes by name, she could have been referring to ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, whom she had an on-off relationship with from 2009 to 2019.
The two first got together after meeting on the set of The Last Song in 2009. The costars got engaged in 2012 but called it off the following year.
However, they reunited at the end of 2016 and were engaged again, going on to marry in 2018 — but after just seven months as husband and wife, Miley filed for divorce, with the split being finalized in 2020.

The exes were married for less than a year when they decided to divorce.
The "Wrecking Ball" vocalist has touched on their up and down dynamic, revealing in a past interview that "it looked like I was living some fairy tale" even though she "really wasn't."
"At that time, my experimentation with drugs and booze and the circle of people around me was not fulfilling or sustainable or ever going to get me to my fullest potential and purpose," Miley shared.
Surprisingly, the Hannah Montana lead "didn't spend too much time crying over" the split.
"It wasn't because I was cold or trying to avoid feeling something, but it was just because it wasn't going to change it," she explained. "I tried to just continue to be active in what I can control, otherwise you just start feeling like you're trapped."
