Miley Cyrus has been opening up on her TikTok series, and if you’ve been patiently waiting for her to mention Liam Hemsworth, gather ’round. Miley recalled the moment she realized their marriage wasn’t going to work—explaining that it came from a place of love, but also “trauma and just trying to rebuild.”
“So, I just want to slow down,” Miley said. “I have to slow down because this is actually serious. So Glastonbury was in June, which is when the decision had been made that…me and Liam’s commitment to being married just—really came from of course a place of love first because we had been together for 10 years, but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as we could. The day of the show was the day I decided that it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship. So that was another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first, and I guess that’s why it’s now so important to me for that to not be the case. That the human comes first.”
Earlier in the TikTok series, Miley reacted to a photo of her and Liam kissing on The Last Song, saying “Once we had written the screenplay, it was time to audition all the guys that would play Will, my boyfriend in the movie. We had gotten it down from thousands to the final three, and Liam was a part of that final three.”
“I think one of the elements that made that movie feel so special was it was watching two very young people fall in love with each other, which was happening in real time and real life,” she continued. “So, the chemistry was undeniable and that was the beginning of a long, 10-year relationship.”
