A Confession That Shocked Fans
Miley Cyrus has never been one to shy away from revealing personal details, but her latest confession about her past relationship with Liam Hemsworth left many stunned. The singer admitted that for nearly a decade, she kept a major secret from her ex-husband—one that involved lying about her virginity.
Cyrus, now 31, is an internationally recognized singer-songwriter with a string of hit songs, including ‘Flowers,’ ‘Wrecking Ball,’ and ‘Party In The U.S.A.’ Born into the entertainment industry as the daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, she became a household name as the lead in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. However, it wasn’t just her music and acting that kept her in the headlines—her high-profile relationship with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about romances.
A Love Story That Started on Set
The two first crossed paths in 2009 while filming the romantic drama The Last Song, a movie that saw them playing on-screen lovers. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it quickly spilled over into real life. Soon after filming wrapped, the two confirmed their relationship, capturing the public’s fascination as a young Hollywood power couple.
However, their romance was anything but smooth. They had an on-again, off-again dynamic that kept fans guessing about their future.
In 2012, the pair made headlines when they got engaged, with Cyrus excitedly announcing, “I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam.” Despite their public declaration of commitment, rumors of tension began swirling, and in 2013, the wedding was postponed indefinitely.
The Rocky Road to Marriage
By mid-2013, speculation reached a fever pitch when the two unfollowed each other on Instagram. Days later, they officially called off their engagement, seemingly closing the chapter on their love story.
For the next few years, Cyrus and Hemsworth lived separate lives, exploring their own personal and professional paths. But in January 2016, whispers of a rekindled romance surfaced. The rumors were confirmed when Cyrus was spotted wearing her old engagement ring.
Reflecting on their time apart, Cyrus later shared in an interview that their breakup had been necessary. “I needed to change so much,” she admitted. “And changing with someone else not changing like that is too hard.”
Despite the uncertainty that had surrounded them for years, the couple surprised the world by tying the knot on December 26, 2018. Cyrus confirmed their wedding with a black-and-white Instagram photo of the two kissing, sending fans into a frenzy.
A Marriage That Didn’t Last
However, their happiness was short-lived. Less than a year after saying “I do,” the couple announced their separation in August 2019. A representative for Cyrus stated, “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time.”
Although the split marked the official end of their love story, their history remained a topic of public interest. Fans speculated that many of Cyrus’ songs were inspired by her relationship with Hemsworth, particularly her smash hit ‘Flowers.’ The lyrics seemed to reference their Malibu home, which had burned down during the 2018 Woolsey Fire.
Cyrus sang, “We were good, we were gold / Kind of dream that can’t be sold / We were right till we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn.”
The Shocking Admission
While many of her lyrics remain open to interpretation, one thing Cyrus made undeniably clear was that she had kept a major secret from Hemsworth throughout their relationship.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the singer revealed that she had lied to her former husband about her virginity and maintained the lie for nearly ten years.
When she was younger, she had told Hemsworth that she had already lost her virginity to someone else. Her reasoning? She didn’t want to seem inexperienced. “He asked, ‘Oh, who have you had sex with?’ And I couldn’t think of anyone, so I just made somebody up,” she confessed.
For years, she held onto that fabricated story, never expecting it to come back to haunt her.
A Decade-Long Lie Exposed
However, the truth eventually caught up with her when she was 24. As fate would have it, the person she had named in her lie ended up marrying one of Hemsworth’s friends. This unexpected twist forced her into an awkward position—suddenly, the secret she had buried for years was at risk of being uncovered.
“So then when I was, like, 24, I had to say that I lied when I was 16,” she admitted. “It was a lie that I held onto for, like, 10 years.”
The revelation sent shockwaves through her fan base, with many expressing surprise that someone as bold and outspoken as Cyrus had kept such a deeply personal secret for so long.
The Aftermath
While it’s unclear how Hemsworth reacted to her confession, the two have since moved on with their lives. Hemsworth has found love again, and Cyrus continues to dominate the music industry, proving that while their romance may have been turbulent, it played a significant role in shaping the artist and woman she is today.
Despite the ups and downs, their relationship remains one of the most memorable Hollywood love stories—one filled with passion, heartbreak, and a decade-long secret that no one saw coming.
