Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Separate After 8 Months of Marriage

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are separating after less than a year of being married.

A rep for the 26-year-old singer released a statement to confirm the news.

“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,” her rep told Just Jared.

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

Rumors that the couple had split began circulating after Miley posted a photo not wearing her wedding ring.

Miley and Liam first met on the set of The Last Song back in 2009 and got engaged in 2012. The following year the couple called it quits but reconciled in 2015.

They tied the knot in December of 2018 in a intimate ceremony with their closest friends and family.

People was the first to report the news.
