Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth to divorce

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are getting divorced less than a year after they got married.

A statement from Miley’s reps, given to CBS, says the pair have “agreed to separate at this time”.

The singer and actor met 10 years ago on the set of Nicholas Sparks’ drama The Last Song.

The couple have had an on-off relationship – they briefly broke up in 2013 before getting back together again in 2015 and marrying in 2018.

Miley confirmed the December wedding on social media by sharing images of the ceremony.

They got married at her home in Franklin, Tennessee in front of a small group of close family and friends.

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. The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed. My dad always told me “ Nature never hurries but it is always on time”…. it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true. I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own …. 💙
