After years of silence, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are reportedly back in touch. This time, however, it’s not about rekindling romance. According to recent reports, the former couple is attempting to build a civil friendship and find long-overdue closure. Insiders claim Miley has extended an olive branch, hoping to clear the air after a breakup that left several unresolved emotions.
Why Miley reached out againMiley is currently engaged to drummer Maxx Morando, yet sources suggest her past with Liam continues to weigh on her. Insiders insist her intention is not to reopen old chapters but to finally say the things that were never said.
One source shared, “As much as Miley has tried to move on, she’s really had a tough time,” adding that closure matters deeply to her.
They further explained, “She is the type of person who hates leaving things unsaid, and she swears that’s the reason she wants to see Liam. He was her first everything. She truly believed they were destined to be together forever, and she regrets a lot of the way things went down toward the end of their relationship.”
A love story that shaped a decadeMiley and Liam first met in 2009 on the sets of The Last Song. What followed was a decade-long, on-and-off relationship that captured global attention. They tied the knot in December 2018, only to part ways a little over a year later. Their divorce was finalised in February 2020.
Miley has previously admitted that she still holds on to memories from that period. In an earlier interview with Vogue, she said, “I literally have a dress that I had on when I met my ex-husband, and then I have my dress that I wore on our first date.”
When Liam filed for divorce, a source close to Miley claimed she “didn’t expect” it.
Liam’s avoidance and Miley’s need for clarityDespite dating Morando since December 2021, Miley reportedly hoped to have a conversation with Liam. An insider told News18, “Miley wants the air totally cleared.”
Another source added, “Liam hates confrontation, so he’s avoided Miley since things imploded. He literally just ghosted her – which has only made it harder for her.”
Sources suggest this lack of communication is what made closure feel incomplete for Miley.
Gabriella Brooks draws firm boundariesLiam’s fiancée, model Gabriella Brooks, is reportedly uncomfortable with the renewed contact. An insider told Radar Online, “The last thing Gabriella wants or needs is Miley sniffing around her man.”
Another source added, “Gabriella wants Liam’s focus on her – not on building a better relationship with his ex.”
