Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson have allegedly ‘split within the last few weeks,’ despite Cody saying he was ‘in love’ with the singer on Aug. 1. Despite the break, Miley says they’re still going to be ‘friends.’
(Update 8/14/20 10:20 AM ET) Miley confirmed the split with an Instagram Live session late on Thursday, Aug. 13. “Today it came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up,” she said, before casting shade on the reports that broke the news of the break. “But, right now, two halves can’t make a whole, and we’re individually just working on ourselves, becoming the people that we want to be. Like everybody else at this age, we’re just deciding who we want to be with our lives, what we want to do with our lives. And so, don’t make it some drama story if next week, we’re out, hanging out and getting pizza. We’ve been friends for 10 years, and we’re going to continue to be friends. Just don’t make it something that it is not.”
Hours after Miley’s IG Live sesh, Cody congratulated his ex on his Instagram Stories. “So proud of you. Congratulations to the most special of all. Go cop that new new!”
