Miley Cyrus has confirmed that she and Cody Simpson have broken up.
The Wrecking Ball singer addressed the speculation regarding her relationship in an Instagram Live clip that was posted on Thursday (13th August), and told her fans that she and Simpson are taking time apart to "work on" themselves.
Cyrus, who was previously married to actor Liam Hemsworth, clarified that she is still on friendly terms with the Australian singer, who she has known for a decade.
"A year ago, almost to this exact date, the media tried to tell my story for me, and control my narrative, and I'm just not accepting that," Cyrus said, referencing her split from Hemsworth in August of last year. "So today, it came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up."
"It was confirmed by a "reliable source" even though no one is reliable in a relationship except the individuals who are participating in it," she continued.
"But right now, two halves can't make a whole and we're individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be, like everybody else at this age. We are just deciding who we wanna be in our lives, what we wanna do, and so, don't make it some drama story if next week we're hanging out, getting pizza"
"We've been friends for 10 years and we're going to continue to be friends, so just don't make it something that it is not," the 27-year-old added.
Per TMZ, the pair ended their relationship in the past few weeks.
They have known each other for a decade and became close friends back in 2015.
Their friendship turned romantic in October of 2019, however, when the pair were spotted kissing at Backyard Bows in Los Angeles, as reported by TMZ at the time.
