Miley Cyrus has had several relationships, and her exes all seem to have something to say about her. From her early days on Hannah Montana, Miley has been in the spotlight, and so has her love life. Known for her passion in both her career and personal life, Miley has been through her fair share of romantic drama. While her music often hints at the turbulence, there’s still a lot people don’t know about her. Don’t worry—her exes are here to spill the tea, from Liam Hemsworth to Patrick Schwarzenegger.
1. Tyler Posey
Miley’s first-ever boyfriend was Tyler Posey, whom she met when they were both under 10 years old. Posey revealed on Larry King Now that his first romantic moments with Miley were innocent but memorable. “She was trying to make me do a kissy face, and then she kissed me. She planted a big one right on my mouth, and I loved it,” he said. “It was very awkward and very young… and cute, and sweet, and wholesome.” Puppy love at its finest!
2. Dylan Sprouse and Nick Jonas
Who wouldn’t want to be in a love triangle with these two heartthrobs? After dating Dylan Sprouse, Miley left him for Nick Jonas. Sprouse commented, “We met at her set, I believe, and we dated. And then Nick Jonas walked by, and it was over.” Miley and Nick were a couple from 2006 to 2008. Ironically, their relationship ended in another love triangle, with Nick eventually leaving Miley for Selena Gomez.
3. Justin Gaston
Before her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, Miley dated Justin Gaston, a contestant on Nashville Star co-hosted by Miley’s dad. Their relationship lasted just under a year, with rumors that Miley’s reunion with Nick Jonas caused tension. Justin later commented, “She didn’t cheat, but I guess Nick was trying to get her back the whole time.”
4. Liam Hemsworth
Miley’s most famous ex, Liam Hemsworth, met her on the set of The Last Song. The two had an on-again, off-again relationship that lasted for nearly a decade. They got married in 2018 but separated just seven months later. Liam posted on Instagram, “Miley and I have recently separated, and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.”
5. Avan Jogia
At 18, Miley was seen having a passionate make-out session with Nickelodeon actor Avan Jogia. At the time, she was on a break from Liam Hemsworth. While Avan described Miley as sweet and down-to-earth, their brief fling ended when she got back together with Liam.
6. Kellan Lutz
In 2013, rumors swirled that Miley was romantically linked to Kellan Lutz, a close friend of Liam Hemsworth. Although they were spotted together in Miami and Las Vegas, Lutz denied the gossip, saying, “It was hearsay, that was all gossip stuff. I hope they’re very happy because they’re both beautiful people.”
7. Patrick Schwarzenegger
During one of her breaks from Liam in 2014, Miley dated Patrick Schwarzenegger for about five months. The pair were spotted on a romantic trip to Hawaii and Patrick even took Miley on a family ski trip. However, the relationship ended after Patrick was seen doing body shots off another woman, which he defended by saying, “Omg. It’s one of my best friends’ girlfriend…”
8. Stella Maxwell
After her breakup with Patrick, Miley started dating Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell. Although Stella played coy about their relationship, saying “Define significant,” Miley confirmed that they were just having fun.
9. Kaitlynn Carter
In 2019, Miley made headlines when she was photographed in a romantic vacation with Kaitlynn Carter, Brody Jenner’s ex-wife. Although their relationship only lasted two months, Kaitlynn described it as a “profound journey of self-discovery” and emphasized that it was much more than a summer fling.
10. Cody Simpson
In October 2019, Miley and Cody Simpson began dating and even quarantined together during the pandemic. Cody credited Miley as his muse for his song Golden Thing, and they often posted about their fun times together on social media. Their breakup was amicable, with Cody stating, “It’s kind of a mutual decision between us, just knowing that we were going in different directions in our life.”
