Miley Cyrus is once again stirring speculation about her past relationship with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, leaving fans wondering if she's throwing subtle shade. The latest buzz surrounds an interaction with a fan named Liam during a recent meet-and-greet event.
The "Flowers" singer, promoting her new album "Something Beautiful," was asked by the fan to sign his vinyl copy. Cyrus obliged, but her inscription, "The best Liam," has set the internet ablaze. The fan, embracing the moment, shared a photo of the signed album on social media, captioning it, "Me when I'm the best Liam."
Given that the fan shares the same first name as the "Hunger Games" actor, many are interpreting Cyrus's message as a playful jab at her former spouse. The couple, who met while filming "The Last Song," had a decade-long on-again, off-again relationship, culminating in a marriage that lasted less than two years before their divorce was finalized in 2020.
This isn't the first time Cyrus has alluded to her relationship with Hemsworth in her public statements and music. Most recently, fans have speculated that her new single, "More to Lose," is about Hemsworth, with the accompanying video showing her shedding tears while singing about a relationship going downhill.
In the past, Cyrus has been candid about the emotional challenges she faced during their time together and after their split. While previewing "Something Beautiful" for fans, she reflected on a turning point in their relationship, referencing the devastating 2018 Woolsey fire that destroyed their Malibu home. "When my house burned down," she said, "a lot of my relationships also burned down." She has since described the fire as a major catalyst for change in her life.
Despite the challenges, Cyrus has also spoken about the importance of appreciating difficult times, stating that they ultimately lead to growth and healing. She has moved on, both personally and professionally, and is currently dating musician Maxx Morando. However, Cyrus's beau, Maxx Morando, has reportedly had enough of her “obsession” with her failed marriage to Liam Hemsworth, and wants her to move on.
While Cyrus has largely kept the details of her relationship with Hemsworth private, she has acknowledged that their relationship didn't end on the best terms. She revealed that she knew their marriage was over during her performance at the 2019 Glastonbury music festival and has alluded to "too much conflict" as a contributing factor to their split.
Despite the end of their relationship, Cyrus has stated, "I love Liam and always will." She has also spoken about recognizing her codependency and viewing Hemsworth as a "pacifier" during their relationship.
Whether the "best Liam" inscription was a deliberate dig or a harmless interaction, it's clear that Miley Cyrus's past relationship with Liam Hemsworth continues to fascinate fans and spark conversation. As Cyrus continues to evolve as an artist and individual, her reflections on past experiences offer a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and resilience.
