Miley Cyrus, 26, and Liam Hemsworth, 29, got married in December 2018. It appears that the honeymoon phase of the couple's lives is over. Most fans are shocked by the announcement of their split, especially because they have been married for less than 12 months. Miley's representative announced the official news of the couple's split in a statement.
The statement said that the couple had decided to separate. It further noted that both partners were continually evolving and changing, so they decided to put more attention into themselves and their careers. The two will continue loving and caring for their pets, and request for privacy during the separation process.
Miley no longer wearing her wedding band
Some of Miley's fans got the feeling that all was not well between the couple after the singer posted a picture of herself in a chic black ensemble. Although she wore necklaces and bracelets to complete the look, her ring finger did not have a wedding band. The singer posted the image on Instagram during a vacation with Kaitlynn Carter, who is Brody Jenner's ex-wife.

Miley not a conventional wife
Miley was Elle's cover story for August 2019. She opened up about not being a stereotypical wife. Earlier on, the singer had come out as a pansexual, meaning she is attracted to people regardless of their gender. She said that she did not fit into the role of a conventional wife and was still sexually attracted to women despite being married to Hemsworth.
She went ahead to assert that she was aware that many people were confused by the fact that she was married and recognised that her relationship was unique. She also admitted that it was unlikely that she would allow the public into her love and relationship life because it was too modern and complex to understand.
Split not shocking
You are surprised that this cute couple split, right? Well, not everyone is shocked by the turn of events. A source close to the couple admitted that they were not surprised by the news. While they were seemingly happy and perfect together, Miley and her beau had their issues behind the scenes. They were not on the same page about some fundamental issues that make a successful relationship.
