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.
Fans were in utter disbelief when it was revealed earlier this month that Miley Cyrus and her longtime beau and husband of nearly eight months, Liam Hemsworth, had decided to call it quits.
Per Entertainment Tonight, a representative for the couple said: "Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. 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."

News of the separation was soon followed by intimate photos of the 26-year-old singer kissing reality star Kaitlynn Carter, who had recently split with Brody Jenner, while on vacation in Italy.
We were given little indication as to what had prompted the unexpected split, so many of us jumped to the conclusion that it may have had a little something to do with Miley's fling with Kaitlynn. Or perhaps an entirely different lover altogether - basically a lot of us assumed that the marriage had ended due to cheating.
Miley Cyrus was having the time of her life during her recent Italian getaway:
In order to put these rumours to bed, the former Disney star took to Twitter to tell her side of the story in a series of 11 tweets.
The first of which began:
"I can accept that the life I’ve chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100% of the time. What I cannot accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide."
Miley then delves into her reputation for partying and experimenting with various drugs. She also recalls losing out on a major merchandising deal as a result of her wild behaviour. Furthermore, she admits to making mistakes in her personal life, which included cheating in past relationships.
The Black Mirror star goes into further detail about her often frowned upon behaviour in the public eye, recounting a time she was fired from animated movie Hotel Transylvania for buying Liam a ''penis cake'' for his birthday and licking said cake.
After detailing all her past mistakes, Miley very emphatically states that once she and Liam reconciled, she was "committed".
"There are NO secrets to uncover here," she insists. "I’ve learned from every experience in my life. I’m not perfect, I don’t want to be, it’s boring. I’ve grown up in front of you, but the bottom line is, I HAVE GROWN UP."
She continues: "BUT at this point I had to make a healthy decision for myself to leave a previous life behind. I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time. You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking, foul mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar."
It's been pretty hard lately for fans of Miley Cyrus to keep up to speed with the singer-songwriter's love life. Indeed, it's been a tumultuous couple of weeks for the erstwhile Disney star. First, the Wrecking Ball star split from her husband Liam Hemsworth, after being married for eight months. The couple divorced after Miley was seen kissing actress, Kaitlynn Carter, while vacationing in Italy with friends.
Miley and Kaitlynn dated for a while, but now they've also broken up, and it seems as though Miley is dating Australian musician Cody Simpson instead. The couple were first spotted by a fan on a date together earlier this month, and since then they haven't been shy when it comes to PDA.
Watch Miley and Cody cuddle up in unsettling 'Joker'-inspired makeup:
Recently, the couple grossed out social media after they uploaded a video of themselves in bed together making out with the Joker face filter applied. Now it seems they've taken things further, with a raunchy picture of themselves getting new tattoos, which is definitely NSFW. The mirror pic shows the two of them standing together proudly showing off their new inking. In one shot, which Miley uploaded to her own Instagram, you can see that the tattoo states: "Rock N Roll Heart Forever."
However, the picture also shows Miley with her hand down the front of Cody's pants, pushing them down so the viewer can see the waistband of his underwear.

In a recent interview with People regarding their new relationship, Simpson stated: "The reason why it hasn't been a really crazy sudden thing is just because we've been friends for so long... [We] found each other again in a space where we're both not partying, working real hard, and it just keeps things healthy and it's good."
He added: "I'm very happy. We are very, very happy. She's creative. She's very passionate about what she does, and I'm very similar in that sense. That's why we get along so well. We just have a ball, yeah, and that's the most important part of a relationship, you know?"
I gotta say, I think the public displays of affection are a bit much. But if Simpson and Cyrus are happy together and want to show it off, then there's not much anyone can do to stop them...
Cody Simpson has slammed rumours that he cheated on his girlfriend, Miley Cyrus.
The musician was reportedly seen kissing another woman at a club in New York over the weekend, leading gossip outlets to assume that Simpson had cheated on Cyrus.
However, on Monday, the 22-year-old's agent released a statement denying the rumours. "There is absolutely no truth to this story," they wrote. "Cody went out with a friend and all the rest is fabricated. Period."
Watch as Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson celebrate her birthday:
Simpson then took to Twitter to further clarify the situation. "We are all gossiping our way into ignorance, attempting to relieve ourselves of the concern that we are really swirling into oblivion on a burning planet. If only we gave more thought to how we may possibly save our earth and less to the trivialities of celebrity culture," he asserted.
"Gossip outlets are the plague of journalism. If more people concerned themselves with literature and not the poison of the mind that is most news columns we'd maybe be in a better place as a society."
The singer was also spotted hanging out with Playboy's December 2019 Playmate, Jordy Murray. However, his sister, Alli Simpson, has since explained that the model is in fact dating her brother's friend, Ryan McCarthy.
She then confirmed that Simpson and 27-year-old Cyrus are still currently together.
Cyrus recently split with her husband of eight months, Liam Hemsworth. According to Entertainment Tonight, a representative for the pair said: "Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. 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."
Last month, after a decade-long on-and-off romance, Liam Hemsworth filed for divorce from Miley Cyrus after just seven months of marriage. Around this time, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer was pictured getting up close and personal with Kaitlynn Carter, Brody Jenner's ex-wife.
But now, after just six weeks of dating, the pair have allegedly broken up, People reports.
"Miley and Kaitlyn broke up," a source told the magazine. "They're still friends. They've been friends forever and were there for each other when they were both getting separated, but they're just not in a romantic relationship anymore."
The pair's relationship was made public on August 11, the day Miley's divorce from Liam was announced, when they were pictured kissing.

The relationship appears to have moved incredibly fast, with a source telling People that by early September, the women were living together.
"They live together and are very happy," they told the magazine. "Miley is doing great. She is moving on. She seems to have no regrets. She loves being with Kaitlynn."
Another source added, "Miley is very close with Kaitlynn. It's romantic but also a friendship. They are both going through similar stuff right now and are bonding over it."

Hemsworth cited "irreconcilable differences" in his divorce from Cyrus, which is expected to be finalized next month.
While there were rumors of infidelity, both parties deny this was the case, and Hemsworth took to Instagram to wish Cyrus "nothing but health and happiness" after news of their split became public.
She wrote: "I am proud to say, I am simply in a different place from where I was when I was younger."
"I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating."
