Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth: A Look Back at Their Ups & Downs Over the Years

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth: Photos From Their Relationship
WireImage

Relive the ups and downs of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s relationship, from a broken engagement, to their reconciliation, marriage and an unfortunate divorce.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are no longer the star-crossed teens fans first fell for, but their relationship remains one of Hollywood’s most talked-about love stories. The two met on the set of The Last Song in 2009 and went on to navigate a decade marked by breakups, reconciliations, and a whirlwind romance that played out largely in the public eye.

After years of on-and-off dating, they quietly married in 2018 — only for Liam to file for divorce less than a year later, in August 2019. Since then, both have moved forward with their lives and careers, but their time together left a visible mark on pop culture — from Miley’s sun-soaked love letter “Malibu” to her raw breakup anthem “Slide Away.”

As the former couple continue on separate paths, their story remains a defining chapter of 2010s celebrity romance — one marked by passion, growth, and an ending that arrived far sooner than anyone expected. Scroll through to see photos of the former couple together below.
