“Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” the rep confirmed in a statement. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.
“They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.”
Rumours of a potential split spread like wildfire last week when the 26-year-old— who recently returned to acting to star in Black Mirror— posted a photo of herself on Instagram in which she was not wearing her wedding ring. As expected, hundreds of comments flooded in asking the singer if she’d split from her partner of over a decade, however, at the time, did not respond to her followers’ queries.
Miley is currently enjoying a lush vacation in Italy with Brody Jenner’s ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter— a trip which took place less than a week after Kaitlynn confirmed the couple of one year had decided to part ways. Over the weekend, Miley was snapped locking lips with her close pal, while spending the afternoon on a luxurious yacht.
Last month, the “Party in the USA” hitmaker further fuelled speculation her marriage was on the rocks after she and Liam were caught arguing in public. Not long after their awkward spat, Miley ranted “I’m f**ing sick of men,” whilst performing her hit tune Wrecking Ball at Glastonbury
Liam was also spotted looking noticeably downcast as he watched an AFL game in Australia in late July.
