Pop quiz: your high profile celebrity marriage to Miley Cyrus is falling apart in the public
eye.
What's the worst thing that could happen?
If you're Liam Hemsworth, your answer might be, "photos of your ex-wife making out with
Brody Jenner's ex-wife on a boat hit the Internet."
Let's start at the beginning.
After barely a year of wedded bliss, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth decided to go their
separate ways.
The news of the split came on Aug. 10, 2019, when a rep for Cyrus released a statement
to People.
It said:
"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.
They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly
taking this time apart.
Please respect their process and privacy."
While Liam and Miley's split shocked fans, an insider told People that it wasn't, quote,
"shocking to people who are actually with them every day."
The source continued:
"After they reunited, everyone thought they were this 'perfect' couple, but they still
had a lot of issues.
They're not on the same page when it comes to a lot of fundamental things that make a
relationship work."
While Cyrus' statement about their breakup implied it was a mutual decision, Hemsworth
is apparently having a hard time processing the dissolution of his marriage to the pop
princess.
In his first public appearance after the news broke, Hemsworth grabbed some frozen yogurt
with his older brother, Chris Hemsworth, in Byron Bay, Australia, where Daily Mail Australia
caught up with the Hunger Games actor.
He said:
"You don't understand what it's like.
I don't want to talk about it, mate."
Cyrus, meanwhile, was spotted without her wedding ring making out with Brody Jenner's
ex, Kaitlynn Carter in Italy a day before the breakup announcement was made.
While a source told People the pair were, quote, "just having fun," an eyewitness told
Entertainment Tonight the two weren't hiding their public love fest at all, saying:
"They were fully on a date, getting drinks, just the two of them.
They even got a couple of massages at the hotel."
"Looks like we have a lot of romantic activities planned for you, starting with a romantic
dinner for two in a private dining room, followed by our candlelight couples massage."
"Ooh!"
A source told Radar Online that Hemsworth is "heartbroken" over Cyrus' photos with Carter,
adding that his family, quote, "cannot believe she is flaunting" the apparent rebound in
Hemsworth's face and, quote, "they think she's a disgrace."
Although we have no official reason why Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus decided to split
as of yet, the clues were there.
Us Weekly alleged that, after Cyrus and Hemsworth called off their engagement in 2013, Hemsworth
and Mad Men's January Jones were sexting each other.
Meanwhile, the actor's rep told E! News the report was "tabloid fiction."
Also that year, Us Weekly reported that Hemsworth's famous brothers staged an intervention to
convince him to break it off with Cyrus.
Liam and Chris probably had a lot to talk about over that frozen yogurt.
In an interview with Elle for its August 2019 issue, Cyrus revealed that she doesn't, quote,
"fit into a stereotypical wife role," and is attracted to women.
She added, "I think it's very confusing to people that I'm married."
Cyrus came out as pansexual in 2016.
According to Radar Online, Cyrus ended the relationship over her fears of being tied
down.
A source said,
"She said she wanted an open relationship.
She wasn't ready for just one person for forever."
The subject of children also allegedly proved a point of contention with the famous couple.
"He wanted babies, and she just didn't anymore."
"No kids.
I like your parents, but you hate mine."
"Do we want kids?"
"Well, you do, but I'm concentrating on my career."
On Aug. 11, 2019, Cyrus spoke out on Instagram with a post about change and evolution.
"Don't fight evolution, because you will never win.
Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with
Africa, change is inevitable.
[...] My dad always told me 'Nature never hurries but it is always on time.'
[...] I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the
same with my own."
While we're not exactly sure what that means in light of her public makeout session, we
hope Hemsworth and Cyrus are able to move on and live their best lives.
We, at the very least, are glad to know their animals will be OK.
"The pig is in the house.
The pig sleeps on the couch, like a bad boyfriend.”
