Miley Cyrus' Boyfriend & Dating History
All of us know who Miley Cyrus is. She was the star of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana. She's released banger after banger in her 10 years in the music industry. And her dad is, you know, Billy Ray Cyrus. What's more secretive is Miley Cyrus' dating history, which has been hush-hush since she entered the spotlight more than a decade ago. Most of us know Miley as the longtime girlfriend, then fiancé, then wife of Liam Hemsworth. The two, who dated on and off for about 10 years (more on that later), split in August 2019. Since then, Miley has had several high-profile relationships. And while the Disney Channel alum was in a longterm relationship for most of the time we knew her, there wee some off periods from Liam where she had brief flings with other stars. With more than 20 years in the biz, it may be hard to keep track of Miley's dating life. She is one of the most written-about stars in Hollywood. Ahead, we try to trace her dating history, from the first moment she met Liam Hemsworth on the set of The Last Song to her 2020 relationship with Cody Simpson. As Miley's fans know, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer is one of a kind. So who is Miley Cyrus dating now? Read on to find out. Miley was linked to musician Maxx Morando after her fling with Cody Simpson. The former drummer of The Regrettes was spotted with the Bangerz singer at Gucci's Love Parade runway show, which took place in November 2021. E! News confirmed their relationship status in October. 'Miley and Maxx are still going strong and their relationship is very serious,' an insider source revealed. 'They have been together for about a year now and Miley is really happy.' They added, 'Everyone in her family loves them together and thinks they mesh really well.' Another source told Entertainment Tonight, 'Miley and Maxx have been having a good time together,' the source tells ET. 'They've been together for a little while and are just enjoying their relationship. Miley likes the fact that they are low-key as a couple and is just focused on doing her thing and being around people that make her happy, and Maxx does that.' Another insider revealed that the two are madly in love. 'They are both artistic and creative, so they bond over being musicians,' and did confirm he joined her at her 2023 NYE party, saying, 'He was backstage with Miley and Pete [Davidson] at the New Year's Eve rehearsals and taping having a good time with them. They were are all super friendly with one another and seemed to have a great night. A source recently told Us Weekly that the two really enjoy having a private relationship. 'Everyone close to Miley says Maxx brings out the best in her,' the insider said. 'They make a lot of sense as a couple.' Miley and Cody were longtime friends before they started dating in October 2019 after her split from Kaitlynn and Liam. The 'Malibu' singer confirmed the relationship with a shirtless photo of Cody with the tweet: 'Get used to me dating – this is where I am at !' Miley confirmed that she and Cody had split in August 2020. 'But, for right now, two halves can't make a whole and we're individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be,' she said on her Instagram Live at the time. 'Like everybody else at this age, we're just deciding who we wanna be with our lives, what we wanna do with our lives. And so, don't make it some drama story if next week we're out hanging out or getting pizza. We've been friends for 10 years and we're gonna continue to be friends.' Kaitlynn was Miley's first public relationship after her breakup with Liam. The two sparked romance rumors in August 2019 (days after Miley announced her divorce from Liam) after they were photographed kissing in Italy. The two dated for a month before splitting in September 2019. Miley also dated Patrick in between her relationships with Liam. The two started dating in 2014 but split a year later after Schwarzenegger was photographed doing body shots on a mystery woman, according to Us Weekly. The two eventually reconciled before splitting for good in April 2015. In between her breakup and makeup with Liam, Miley dated Kellan. The two had a short romance in late 2013. A source told Us Weekly at the time that Liam wasn't bothered with Miley's fling with his friend. 'It doesn't hurt that he's Liam's pal,' an insider told the magazine at the time. 'They really enjoy each other's company.' Liam is Miley's big relationship. The two met on the set of The Last Song in 2009 in which they both starred. The two broke up in 2010 and reunited a month later. Liam and Miley were then engaged in 2012 when Liam proposed to Miley with a 3.5-carat ring from Neil Lane. 'I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,' Cyrus told People at the time. A source told People the engagement had the blessing of Miley's family. 'Billy Ray loves Liam. He's happy his daughter has found the right guy,' the source said, adding that Hemsworth has spent a lot of time with her family, barbecuing together. 'The whole family loves Liam.' However, the two called off the engagement on September 2013. Months earlier, rumors came out that the Hannah Montana alum and the Hunger Games star split. Miley dispelled the rumors by saying, 'I am so sick of La. And sick of the lies that come with it,' she posted. 'I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media. #draining' The Independence Day: Insurgence star and the Bangerz singer reunited in January 2016, resuming their engagement less than a month after. Miley and Liam were wedded on December 26, 2018. In a now-deleted Instagram post, they confirmed the wedding, 12.23.18' and '10 years later …..'Miley captioned the post. In the photo of them kissing, the singer wrote: 'This is probably our one–millionth kiss.' Less than a year later, Liam made a post on Instagram about his separation from Miley. 'Hi all, Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward. This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets. Any reported quotes attributed to me are false. Peace and Love' Miley's rep confirmed they had separated. 'Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,' the rep said. The rep continued in the statement: '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.' Liam filed for divorce in August 2019. In one instance in an interview with Howard Stern, Miley also revealed that she didn't think she and Liam would ever tie the knot. 'We were together since 16,' she said. 'Our house burned down. We had been like, engaged—I don't know if we really ever thought we were actually going to get married, but when we lost our house in Malibu—which if you listen to my voice pre- and post-fire, they're very different so that trauma really affected my voice. And I was actually in South Africa, so I couldn't come home, and like, my animals were tied to a post at the beach. I lost everything.' The divorce was finalized on February 22, 2020. In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2020, she revealed that the Malibu house fire 'did what I couldn't do myself'. 'It removed me from what no longer was serving its purpose,' she told the magazine. 'And then as you drown, you reach for that lifesaver and you want to save yourself. I think that's really what, ultimately, getting married was for me. One last attempt to save myself.' The Bangerz singer denied the cheating rumors when she was fresh out of the divorce. In August 2019, she tweeted, 'The truth is, once Liam & I reconciled, I meant it, & I was committed. There are NO secrets to uncover here. I've learned from every experience in my life. I'm not perfect, I don't want to be, it's boring. I've grown up in front of you, but the bottom line is, I HAVE GROWN UP. I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating. Liam and I have been together for a decade. I've said it before & it remains true, I love Liam and always will.' She continued, 'BUT at this point, I had to make a healthy decision for myself to leave a previous life behind. I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time. You can say I am a twerking, pot-smoking, foul-mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar.' On January 13, 2023, which is Liam's birthday, Miley released the song 'Flowers' which is speculated to be about their relationship. Pop culture Twitter PopTingz claimed that the set of the music video was where Hemsworth allegedly cheated on Cyrus with 14 women. 'The house where the music video for Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers' was recorded was previously used by Liam Hemsworth to cheat on Miley with more than 14 women while they were married,' the account tweeted, but the tweet itself is unverified. The tweet went viral with more than 40,000 likes and 10,000 retweets, however it's not confirmed whether he actually cheated on the singer with 14 women. Her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation is filled with stories about a cheating partner, which lots of fans are speculating that it's about Liam. In 'Muddy Waters,' The lyrics are pretty blunt about her anger towards a partner who is guilty of cheating. 'I don't know / Who the hell you think you're messin' with / Get the f*ck out of my house with that sh*t / Get the f*ck out of my life with that sh*t.' She later sings, 'And you smell like perfume that I didn't purchase / Now I know why you've been closing the curtains / Get the f*ck out of my house.' Miley hasn't verified the reports that it's about her ex Liam Hemsworth, but like 'Flowers' it kind of heads in that direction. 'Muddy Waters' even slyly references another type of flower: 'You've watered the weeds and you killed all the roses.' Miley and Nick dated from June 2006 to December 2007. As fans remember, Miley and Nick, who were both 13 at the time, were stars on the Disney Channel when they dated. Nick's band, the Jonas Brothers, also opened for Miley on her Best of Both Worlds Tour toward the end of their relationship. 'It seemed like my life was over, but everyone still living,' Miley wrote about the breakup in her 2009 book, Miles to Go. One of Miley's most well-known songs about her relationship with Nick is her 2008 single, '7 Things.' In the music video, she even showed a photo of her and the JoBro. The two reunited years later to duet on the Jonas Brothers song 'Before the Storm.' Dylan revealed in a 2008 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he dated Miley for a hot second—a.k.a. one day—when he was around 11 or 12 years old. 'We met at her set, I believe, and we dated. And then Nick Jonas walked by and it was over,' he joked at the time. Miley had a puppy-love romance with Tyler in 2000 after they met on the set of her dad's show, Doc. As Tyler revealed in a past Entertainment Tonight interview, Miley was his first kiss when she was 7 and he was 9. 'We were so damn young…I would get excited when we would hold hands,' he told ET.

How to cut $100 from your monthly bills
The phrase "cost of living" is on everyone's minds amid global trade chaos and broader economic uncertainty. So, how do you slash monthly expenses without sacrificing your quality of life? Choose what matters to you and trim the excess, says Associate Professor Pearpilai Jutasompakorn of the Singapore Institute of Technology's accountancy programme. "This is about spending less where you can, yet not cutting so much that you feel miserable or deprived," she says, adding that an aggressively spartan budget might work for a month or two, but will strain quality of life or lead to revenge spending further down the road. Also, it is worth understanding the psychological tactics companies deploy to keep you paying more and trying to avoid the pitfalls. These include bundling (combining multiple products to obscure individual costs), dynamic pricing (adjusting prices based on your online browser behaviour) and choice overload (overwhelming consumers with a variety of options, so you end up relying on default recommendations). Here are some counter-strategies to keep your expenses down. 1. Update your phone plan Since the mid-2010s, the price of each gigabyte (GB) of mobile data has plummeted from dollars to cents, with the rise of SIM-only plans such as Maxx's $9.90 for 290GB or Simba's $10 for 300GB offerings. One way to cut costs is to audit your current phone plan against today's market offerings. PHOTO: PIXABAY This shift stems from the increased affordability of smartphones, making the old contract model obsolete, and competition from new entrants such as Simba and M1, Starhub and Singtel have also launched their own budget sub-brands - Maxx, Eight and Gomo respectively. One way to cut costs is to audit your current plan against today's market offerings. Many consumers who have not revisited their plans in a while or continue to use phone contracts may be paying premium prices for services now available at budget rates. This is partly because the bundling trap of attractive handset subsidies makes it tricky to evaluate the worth of each component of your plan. Here is an example. Pharmaceuticals worker Sathya Prakash, 29, pays $80 a month for his phone contract - a discounted corporate rate - which comes with 110GB of monthly mobile data and a subsidised iPhone 15 Pro Max. He traded the iPhone for around $1,600 at a mobile phone shop in 2024, close to the handset's sticker price at the time, as he did not need it. He calculated that he essentially paid around $14 a month over 24 months, after taking into account the trade-in value of the mobile phone, compared with going for an under-$10 monthly SIM-only plan with greater data allowance and the flexibility of buying a new phone if the desire arose. 2. Question every bundle The bundled model extends beyond mobile phones to internet and pay-TV providers. Despite pay-TV subscriptions plummeting since the early 2010s due to the streaming revolution, many consumers continue to pay for unwatched TV channels bundled together with their internet plan. Plans that bundle TV channels with internet access may not be necessary if you are not planning to watch TV. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO One way to cut costs is to compare your current bundled internet and TV package with standalone internet options from newer entrants, such as MyRepublic's $47.99 or Simba's $29.99 a month for 10Gbps broadband. Some budget-conscious consumers like Mr Jon Phua, 35, have even turned to the increased affordability of mobile data to replace broadband internet entirely. Mr Phua, a communications strategist who lives alone, used to pay for broadband while living with his parents. He now pays an additional $9.90 a month for 290GB monthly mobile data subscription from Maxx on a separate device, which he says is enough to cover his streaming and home internet browsing activity. 3. Consider subscription-hopping Traditional lock-in contracts are designed to maximise value extraction from consumers. While streaming platforms initially offered freedom from this model, they have increasingly imposed steep price hikes. Streaming giant Netflix recently raised costs by $2 to $4 across tiers in April - the second price increase in two years - and Disney announced similar increases in 2024. The cheapest tier at Netflix and Disney+ now comes to $15.98 a month, up from $13.98 and $12.98 respectively. Streaming giant Netflix recently raised costs by $2 to $4 across tiers in Singapore in April - the second price increase in two years. PHOTO: NETFLIX Beyond downgrading to lower-cost and lower-fidelity subscription tiers, one can consider subscription-hopping. This means strategically rotating between various streaming services instead of signing on all year long. According to The New York Times, subscription-hopping has become the new normal in the United States, where more than 29 million subscribers - about a quarter of domestic subscribers - cancelled three or more streaming services over the last two years leading up to 2024. About a third later resubscribed to the cancelled service within six months. Simply pause or cancel your subscription until must-watch content returns, such as the next season of HBO's House Of The Dragon (2022 to present) or Netflix's Squid Game (2021 to present). 4. Leverage family plans Not all bundles are bad. Some service providers still offer cost savings for those looking to get in on plans with their loved ones. Apple One, which comes with 50GB of iCloud backup allowance, as well as access to Apple TV+ and Music, costs $23.95 a month. Its family plan, which can be shared with up to five people, offers the same access and 200GB of backup allowance for $29.95 a month. Family plans or password sharing also exist for Spotify, YouTube Premium, Google One and Amazon Prime, and most VPN services. Sign up for a family plan on platforms such as Spotify to benefit from cost savings. PHOTO: REUTERS 5. Scrutinise cashback services Those looking to cut costs might look to cashback services such as Shopback or Fave to shave a few dollars off their purchases. However, their impact can be more complex than advertised. Mr Ian, a 28-year-old civil servant who declined to share his last name, has accumulated $4,579.13 in lifetime earnings on Shopback since 2017, primarily from booking travel expenses through the platform. "It's very lucrative for accommodation and tour bookings, as the bonus cashback can sometimes be over 10 per cent," he says, adding that cashback can be close to 100 per cent for other items such as VPN services. Cashback services may come in useful to shave off a few dollars on purchases, but note hidden traps such as dynamic pricing. PHOTO: PIXABAY However, he also notes that finding good deals can be tough. Dynamic pricing means that at times, he observes a higher starting rate on offer when booking a trip through Shopback (as opposed to using a booking platform without it), negating the cashback earned. As such, the amount he has earned from the platform may be less positive than it sounds. When using cashback services, be wary of hidden traps like dynamic pricing and price anchoring, as well as the artificial progress of watching your cashback grow as an incentive to keep using the platform, even though better deals may exist elsewhere. 6. Eliminate insurance redundancies According to the 2023 household expenditure survey by the Department of Statistics, households spent an average of $590 on insurance and financial services - the largest expense after transportation, food and housing. Schedule insurance policy reviews whenever you experience a major life change, such as marriage, family or career change. PHOTO: PIXABAY Ms Helen Shen, insurance firm Singlife's group head of products, recommends reassessing coverage if monthly premiums exceed 15 per cent of take-home pay. "Schedule insurance policy reviews every one to two years, or whenever you experience a major life change, such as marriage, family or a career change," says Ms Shen, who adds that potential adjustments can include dropping coverage that is no longer needed. She notes that while a general guideline is to have insurance protection that is nine times your annual income for death and total and permanent disability, and four times for critical illness, these are just starting points that should take into account one's unique circumstances and budget. 7. Revisit house brands Another area for cost savings comes from grocery shopping. In Singapore, supermarket house brands are increasingly a staple in consumers' grocery baskets. In February, it was reported that close to $1 billion of FairPrice Group's sales in 2024 came from its portfolio of Own Brands, up from $500 million in 2022. ST PHOTO: JASON QUAH Close to $1 billion - or 20 per cent - of FairPrice Group's sales in 2024 came from its portfolio of Own Brands, up from $500 million in 2022, reported The Straits Times in February. These brands include FairPrice's eponymous house brand, as well as labels such as Pasar, Golden Chef and Delicato, which are typically 10 to 15 per cent cheaper than branded alternatives. Part of the popularity of these brands stems from how e-commerce and cost of living are altering consumer expectations. For instance, communications worker Eleanor Tan says that comparison shopping with e-commerce platforms is an essential part of her grocery shopping experience. Instead of going for Nespresso coffee pods, which cost 80 cents to over $1 a pod, she purchases generic brand alternatives from Lazada which sell for 50 cents a pod. Consider challenging brand loyalty by doing your own blind taste tests of supermarket house brands versus lower-cost alternatives. Also, question the middle tier: When faced with "good, better, best" options, evaluate whether the entry-level product truly lacks any essential features. 8. Stretch your dollar when you travel Some Singaporeans cross the border to Johor Bahru for cheaper fuel or groceries, and sometimes tag on other services at the same time. Stretch your dollar when you travel, such as across the Causeway to Johor Bahru. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO On a trip to the Malaysian city in 2021, Ms Khosshala Balu, a 28-year-old nurse, got her braces done. At the time, the full procedure cost RM5,000 (S$1,500) in JB, compared with between $3,000 and $4,000 in Singapore. If you are planning to travel, consider adding personal care services such as hairstyling or manicures during the trip that may reap some savings. 9. Choose energy-efficient appliances Eligible Singaporean HDB and private residential households can claim a total of $400 worth of Climate Vouchers, which can be used to offset the purchase of 10 types of energy- and water-efficient appliances and fittings. These vouchers are valid until December 2027. Claim a total of $400 worth of Climate Vouchers, which can be used to offset the purchase of 10 types of energy- and water-efficient appliances and fittings. PHOTO: ST FILE The potential cost savings from energy efficiency can be significant. According to the National Environmental Agency (NEA), a two-tick air-conditioning unit model will cost about $300 more in electricity bills a year (based on electricity cost of 29.9 cents per kWh of electricity, assuming a multi-split 7.5kW cooling capacity air-conditioner that is used eight hours daily) as compared with using an air-conditioner with five ticks. As air-conditioning accounts for about 24 per cent of an average household's electricity consumption according to a 2017 NEA survey, consider other ways to get cooling bills down. Mr Ali Osman, a 30-year-old who works in agricultural sales, says his family switches the unit from air-conditioning to dehumidifier mode after flushing out the warm and humid air in their home. He has since seen a quarter reduction in energy use on air-conditioning, as well as a lower energy bill.
