Miley Cyrus has lived in the spotlight since her days in the movie Hannah Montana. And while we can agree that she’s had the best of everything in her life, she’s had her share of ups and downs while growing up in the public eye. The gifted singer proves herself in almost everything she puts her mind to, and the same goes for those she falls in or out of love with. No matter how hard the famous singer tries in all areas of her life, she is just as persistent in love. And luckily for us, we hear it in many of the songs she writes, detailing the ups and downs of her relationships over the years.

And since she’s been winning hearts since her Disney days, there’s no doubt the pop star has quite a few famous exes. From Liam Hemsworth to Cody Simpson, Cyrus has always been candid about her personal life. She keeps her fans in suspense and isn’t afraid to be outspoken about her sexual orientation, including standing up for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and even being a member herself. 

Tyler Posey

Miley Cyrus was winning hearts as early as the tender age of eight! While most kids that age were catching dolls on playgrounds, she was starring in the TV series Doc alongside actor Tyler Posey. 

In 2016, on Larry King Now, the Wolf Man star revealed that Miley became his girlfriend when he was nine and didn’t have many friends. 

Nick Jonas and Dylan Sprouse

Who doesn’t love a good Disney love triangle? Miley Cyrus made a splash when she dumped Dylan Sprouse for Nick Jonas. But when you’re Hannah Montana, you can afford to be picky. Jonas and Cyrus subsequently dated for almost two years, from 2006 to 2008. 

Justin Gaston

Before Liam Hemsworth knocked her down, Miley Cyrus had another boyfriend with whom she was in a serious relationship. The “Bangerz” singer dated actor and singer Justin Gaston from 2008 to 2009 when she was just 16. 

Their romance lasted only nine months and ended when Cyrus left to film The Last Song with Hemsworth, whom she later married and divorced. 

Liam Hemsworth

Who can forget Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus? They met on the set of the movie The Last Song, where they played the roles of Ronnie and Will, respectively, and it seems their love burned just as brightly off-screen. The couple dated for nearly a decade before officially tying the knot in 2018. Seven months later, they divorced. Hemsworth and his then-wife kept their wedding a secret, surprising the world with a modest ceremony at their home in Nashville.

The Australian actor announced the Instagram breakup, posted a sunset photo, and wrote, “Miley and I have recently parted ways and wish her nothing but health and happiness in the future.” He added that he would not make any other press statements. Meanwhile, Cyrus posted a tweet denying rumors that she cheated on her husband.

Avan Jogia

On her eighteenth birthday, Miley Cyrus shed her reputation as a Disney baller for more daring behavior when she was caught kissing Nikolaev actor Evan Jogia. As proof that she could not be subdued, the Daily Mail published hot shots of the “Hannah Montana” star leaning against a bar table while Jogia kissed her neck. At the time, Cyrus was on vacation with Liam Hemsworth, who was working in Australia.

Jogia only spoke positively about the pop star. However, rumors of an affair between them seemed to subside as quickly as they appeared – after all, Hemsworth was back, and he didn’t stand a chance. It’s only been a few months, and Cyrus and her soon-to-be ex-husband are officially back together, appearing on numerous red carpets and even posing in a cozy photo shoot for Teen Vogue.

Mike WiLL Made-It

Mike WiLL Made-It has indeed “entered” Miley Cyrus’ inner circle. In 2014, Us Weekly magazine claimed that the two weren’t just making music together but had been secretly dating for nine months. They spent time together in and out of the studio, and rumors of their relationship first arose when they were seen in Los Angeles after Cyrus’ breakup with Liam Hemsworth in 2013. 

Three years later, Cyrus announced they were back in the studio in an Instagram photo shoot.

The two are great friends, and the performer even tweeted a cute video of them cuddling before the 2018 Grammy Awards with the caption, “We did it!!!!”.

Kellan Lutz

Things got interesting in 2013 when photos surfaced of Miley Cyrus with Liam Hemsworth’s close friend Kellan Lutz while she and her Last Song movie partner were on vacation. The two sparked serious rumors when they were spotted as a couple in 2013 when they landed in Miami on the same private jet. 

But despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, the “Twilight” star claims he has not dated the pop star. 

Jared Leto

While we can neither confirm nor deny whether Miley Cyrus and Jared Leto dated in 2014, sources told Us Weekly that the two enjoyed each other’s company. The publication noted that she and Cyrus were spotted being friendly at a party before the Grammy Awards, which sparked rumors that the pair were secretly partying in private.

Patrick Schwarzenegger

Miley Cyrus was very active during her breakup with Liam Hemsworth. In 2014, the singer was intimate with Patrick Schwarzenegger for five months and even took a romantic trip to Hawaii. 

It ended with Patrick being spotted in Cabo in the company of a woman who was not his girlfriend. Although photos of him on the body of a mystery brunette suggest otherwise, the University of Southern California graduate has stated that he is not guilty of any wrongdoing. 

Although the couple seemed to weather the storm and were spotted together at brunch after returning home, their romance didn’t last long. The couple broke up a few weeks after the drama in Cabo.

Stella Maxwell

After ending her relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger, Miley Cyrus decided that girls have more fun, mainly if that includes steamy kisses with the Victoria’s Secret Angel on the music video set. The pop star perfectly brushed off her sadness over her breakup with Schwarzenegger: she and model Stella Maxwell were spotted together in adorable Instagram snaps after the split.

At the time, Cyrus declared herself pansexual.

Caitlin Carter

Miley Cyrus’ fans had a real treat when they learned about her European vacation with Brody Jenner’s ex-wife Caitlynn Carter. The two separated from their husbands in 2019 when they decided to PDA in designer swimsuits while touring Italy. What better way to unfold than roaming Europe with the hot new girl?

Things quickly got heated between the two, but the couple only lasted two months before announcing their breakup in August 2019. 

Cody Simpson

Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus started dating in October 2019. Billboard said they even spent Covida Quarantine together, with Simpson caring for his girlfriend while she underwent vocal cord surgery. 

In August 2020, the musical couple decided they were going in two different directions in life, with Simpson taking up professional swimming and Cyrus focusing on music and touring. 

As of September 2022, the “Malibu” singer has been linked to Lily drummer Max Morando, who shared a cute photo of them at Gucci’s “Love Parade” fashion show on his Instagram.
