Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus grabbed headlines last week when an onlooker told E! News that they spotted the pair making out while grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles.
While their passionate embrace caused quite the stirr— with some even “sl*t shaming” the former Disney star for “moving on so quickly” after the splitting from Kaitlynn Carter— it turns out the Aussie singer has always had a crush on Miley!

In a resurfaced video interview from 2012, Cody, who was 15 at the time, can be seen gushing over the “Slide Away” songstress, admitting he’s always had the hots for her.
“Miley Cyrus has always been my childhood celebrity crush,” he told Fuse about the 26-year-old pop sensation. “I know all the words to her songs, I’m not gonna lie. I’m not ashamed about it at all.”
He continued: “I was a big Miley Cyrus fan and I think she will be forever the most date-able Disney star.”
As we know, Miley and Cody have been friends for some time now. Not only did they enjoy a vacation together in 2014, but the “Wrecking Ball” songstress also attended Cody’s 18th birthday bash alongside Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid (who Cody was dating at the time).
“Miley is one of my best friends and she helps with some of that transitional stuff—trying to escape your childhood,” Cody said back in 2015. “She’s super open-minded and I’m working on becoming more like that.”
Over the weekend, the new couple spammed social media with dozens of photos and videos— one of which showed the loved up pair in a steamy embrace!
“Can a girl not get a f*cking acai bowl and a morning make-out session in peace?!?!” she captioned a video which showed the pair making out.
Moments later, the “Wrecking Ball” singer posted a daring photo of a shirtless Cody with the caption: “22 [check] Australian (my type) [check] Abs [check]”.
At the bottom of the steamy pic, she added, “Hot Girl Fall [chec
Miley’s new romance comes after she and Kaitlynn Carter called time on their one-month-long relationship.
Although sources claim they’re still good friends, the 26-year-old is no longer on good terms with her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s famous family. According to Radar Online, the Hunger Games actor’s brother Chris and his wife Elsa Pataky are fed up with the way their former sister-in-law has been treating Liam.
The Thor star is so infuriated with Miley’s post-split behaviour, he’s even issued a stern warning, begging her to stop “playing games” with his younger brother’s heart.
“They are the ones picking up the pieces,” a source close to the situation told the outlet. “And they’ll happily do anything to protect Liam, including shutting Miley out of Liam’s life.”
As he deals with the fallout from his acrimonious split with Miley, Chris and Elsa have been rallying around Liam and showing their support as the actor navigates his way through this difficult period.
Since the former couple went public with their breakup, Liam moved back to Byron Bay where he’s been spotted on numerous occasions surfing and hanging with his family at their local beach. A source close to the Hunger Games actor— who found out Miley had dumped him via Instagram— recently revealed that Liam plans to permanently move back to Australia.
“He’ll still come to LA to do business and shoot movies, but this whole experience has really reinforced to Liam that Hollywood’s not for him in the long term,” the insider told Radar Online.
