Miley Cyrus Reveals She Lied to Liam Hemsworth About Her Virginity
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth shocked the world last summer when they announced their separation. The couple had basically been together for 10 years and married for less than one when they broke this news—and now Cyrus is revealing some intimate details about the earlier days of their relationship.
In a new interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she opened up about how she lied to Hemsworth about losing her virginity. “I was 16. It wasn’t Nick Jonas,” she said, per Entertainment Tonight. "But I ended up marrying the guy, so that’s pretty crazy.”
In other words, Cyrus actually lost her virginity to Hemsworth but told him she’d already had sex. “I lied and said that he wasn’t the first so I didn’t seem like a loser,” she said. “He said, ‘Oh, who have you had sex with?’ And I couldn't think of anyone, so I just made somebody up that I knew but we had never actually had sex before.”
Later, she found herself caught in the lie and had to fess up. “[Liam’s] friend ended up marrying him, and then it was like, ‘Oh now my friend is marrying someone you’ve hooked up with?’” Cyrus said. “So then when I was, like, 24, I had to say that I lied when I was 16. It was a lie that I held onto for, like, 10 years.”
Cyrus’s new song, “Midnight Sky,” appears to give some insight into her split with Hemsworth (or perhaps even her more recent one with Cody Simpson).
“You know, you asked me to kind of explain briefly what my song is about. And I think it’s my relationship with the stigma. That ‘forever,’ if it’s not successful or if you claimed something to be forever and you fail, then you’re a failure. And I just don’t think that. I think we’re kind of set up for devastation—in that, from the time we’re little kids, we’re taught to claim other humans as our best friends forever,” she told Sirius XM. “And you just don’t know who you’re going to be sitting with here right now. You never know who you’re going to evolve to be and who they’re going to evolve to be. So I think that we, especially as women in relationships, a lot of the time we can get villainized when ‘forever’ doesn’t happen. And I think that you’re just really setting yourself up to kind of be disappointed—and not from a bitter or resentful way, but from a realistic and logical standpoint, especially in modern society.”
She explained herself further to Apple Music and appeared to refer to her much-publicized 2019 relationship with Kaitlynn Carter, which happened right after her split from Hemsworth. “I felt like my story and my narrative had kind of been told for me over the past year,” she said. “Obviously, I went through an extremely public breakup and, even more than that, a divorce, and with someone that I had been with for 10 years. That narrative and that experience of 10 years was told for me by one day from the eyes of a helicopter.” (Photos of Carter and Cyrus making out last summer were snapped via helicopter.)
And with that, Miley Cyrus has spoken.
