  • 13 May 2021

When Miley Cyrus released her hit song Malibu in 2017, she made no secret that it was about her fiancé Liam Hemsworth. But four years on, it seems the singer still has a soft spot for her Aussie ex.

Taking to Instagram this week, Miley shared a clip of herself writing and singing the ballad in her home studio.

However, it was her mention of Liam that really tugged at heartstrings.

"Today is the 4 year anniversary of Malibu. A song about a place and person that at the time I loved very much. That love was reciprocated beyond what I could describe here with freedom & escapism," she wrote.

Miley also referenced the Malibu home that she and Liam once shared and that was destroyed in the devastating 2018 wildfires.

"I lost that home along with many others in 2018. Here is a video of me writing it in my home studio."

Miley's fans shared sweet messages of support and some even suspected that she still holds a candle for her ex.

"I love that you can look back at life so positively. That just because things are different now, it doesn’t mean that the past was bad," one mused.

"She's still throwing so many hints that she clearly is still in love with her soul mate. Here's to hoping," penned another.

"I feel like she misses Liam," a third noted.

In December, Miley revealed on the Howard Stern Show that she will always love Liam, who she dated on and off for 10 years before they married in 2018.

Speaking of the moment they lost their Malibu home in the fires, the Wrecking Ball hitmaker revealed that the trauma prompted them to tie the knot.

"Every song I had ever written was in that house, every photograph of me that my parents had given to me, all my scripts - I lost everything and so in trying to put that back together, instead of going, 'Oh, nature kind of did something I couldn’t do for myself; it forced me to let go,' I ran toward the fire," she explained, adding that it's "not abnormal" as many animals do the same thing.

"You’re attracted to that heat and me being an intense person and not wanting to sit with it, and not wanting to go, you know, 'What could be purposeful about this?' I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him. And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will."

Liam is now dating model Gabriella Brooks.

Whilst Miley is single, Liam has moved on with girlfriend Gabriella Brooks - a 24-year-old model he was first spotted with back in January 2020.

According to Us Weekly the couple have “been getting serious” and wedding bells could be ringing soon.

“They’re not ones to make it known to the public, but their friends and family sure are in the know about how close they are and how an engagement can be right around the corner,” a source told the publication, adding that Liam “went through a lot with his breakup” with Miley.

“Liam looks up to his brothers and would love to one day also have that long-lasting marriage with a partner. He’s ready to be a husband — he just wants to be super confident in his relationship with Gabriella before he gets down on one knee!”
