Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth canoodled all over Australia: are they back together?

In case you couldn’t tell from this blurry Twitter photo, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus are back together. Maybe. They were together and coupled-up on Sunday in Byron Bay, Australia, at a local music festival. They were seen “canoodling and kissing” all over the place, and people on social media documented their coupledom. Liam’s brothers Luke and Chris were at the music festival too, with their wives. No word on whether Chris and Elsa were still “dressed up” as Native Americans.

Miley and Liam were together for several years circa 2010-2013. They were engaged and I believe that Liam was Miley’s first great love, the love that she sings about these days, the Wrecking Ball that turned her world upside down. I also believe that they broke up for good reasons: he was unhappy with Miley’s success, he allegedly cheated on her and she “outgrew” him to a certain extent. Still, the end didn’t come swiftly – they were on-and-off for a while, and even though they were totally over for something like two years, they still maintained contact with each other, possibly even maintaining a friends-with-benefits thing. Back in November, Miley even helped Liam adopt his new dog, Dora.

So, is this happening for real, or was it just a holiday hookup? I’ll admit it, I’ve always been a little bit jealous of Miley that her first great love was someone I find legitimately hot. I kind of suspect Liam’s a dog, but hey… maybe Miley will get some material for a new album.

    Run Liam, RUN!

    I thought he was hooking up with JLaw, these crazy kids and their shenanigans, I can’t keep up

    • Pri says:

      I think he might’ve cheated on Miley with JLaw.

      UPDATE: There are now pics of Elsa and Miley online. After appropriating Native culture, Elsa is wearing a bindi and appropriating Indian culture.

      • QQ says:

        so i’ll be a banner year for These two a-holes huh? since they are going down redface REAL early and whatnot? I wonder what are Iggy and Katy Perry Planning to one up this since they are part of the Appropriation Trinity

      • Marty says:

        Let’s be real though, those two are peas in a pod. For them any attention is good attention.

    • Alex says:

      Eh I don’t think kissing someone or even making out is hooking up. And considering Jen was with Hoult I doubt she Helped Liam cheat (Jen definitely bent over backwards for him so I doubt she cheated). Either way we know Liam cheated with January Jones and a model I believe? Quite openly too. So yea as much as I dislike Miley I don’t like cheaters. So run Miley run.

      • CornyBlue says:

        I think Jen said it was the Oscars she won so she was not with Hoult then. There were some fan accounts last year of Jen and Liam cuddling or something but i cannot find the link now. Probably did not work out b/w them. I doubt Liam would leave Jen.

      • Alex says:

        Those stories aren’t from the same night. She talked about the Oscars and kissing Liam not that they were at the same time. Most likely it was more recently since Jen spent the most time with Liam on the last shoot. Liam wasn’t even in Hawaii with the cast during 2012-2013 shoot for CF. Josh and Jen barely filmed with Liam for the first two movies. So again that doesn’t make sense.
        And that’s assuming they were together…and I don’t buy that. By all indications she hooked up with Liam (how far who knows) and that’s it. *shrugs*

  2. Word says:

    Yuck

  3. Jayna says:

    I’ve lost all respect for Liam.

    • Christin says:

      She must not have much respect for herself, either. She seemed very into him, yet he could give Ben a run for his money when it came to looking miserable in pap pics. It was no surprise when they finally ended it.

      Why go back for another round (either of them)?

    • Sochan says:

      I had no respect to lose. He’s bland, dull, and even less talented than his barely-talented brother. The Hemsworths are grossly over-rated, and Cyrus is just gross. They belong together.

  4. lilacflowers says:

    I never got that the break-up was due to being unhappy with her success but more due to being unhappy with her outrageous, attention-seeking antics. Like the almost naked twerk seen round the world.

    • Esmom says:

      Yes. That was my take, too.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I think her behavior for a time was so manic, it had to be hard to live with.

      • JudyK says:

        So agree. If she could just grow up and quit being such an exhibitionist, I’d like them together.

    • Shambles says:

      I’m going to play devilish Miley’s advocate here. I always heard that he wasn’t very good to her (the cheating, etc.), and if you look at photos of their early relationship you can easily tell who was more into whom. She looked at him like the sun was born out of his face, and he was more interested in the cameras most of the time. I will believe he was her first great love. I’ve been to that place, where you’re head over heels for a guy who treats you like dirt. I went a little insane. I had pink hair, blonde hair, black hair, long hair, bobbed hair, and my behavior was not something to be totally proud of either. The point is, I can see why someone would chop off their hair and start acting insane if the person they love is treating them like crap. All the antics, while grating, seemed more to me like a giant “f*ck you” to Liam. “I’m going to chop off my hair that you probably love and go gyrate naked all over a mysoginostic praying mantis dressed like Beetle Juice if you’re going to cheat on me.” Not saying that makes it right or any less annoying. But I understand.

    • Artemis says:

      He hooked up with Jlaw who is considered a more physically appealing due to her girl-next-door looks and essentially a toned down version of Miley. He clearly has a type: ambitious successful fun-loving, outspoken, a bit vulgar (Miley with the nudity and non-conforming looks, JLaw with the bodily fluids and ‘rude language’). Basically crazy in the fun way.

      Her Bangerz era was mild in comparison to this one. During Bangerz she never posed naked in magazines in the porn-y desperate way she does now. She’s really at 100% now and Liam left when she was maybe at 80%. Also she always maintained she was like this in the past which makes sense when you consider the salvia, the penis cake, the ‘racy’ Vanity Fair pictures back when she underage. She had to suppress it for so long and she was clearly unhappy (yoga/pilates Miley was also cutting herself for example). Even now, she seems very sad about certain things. I don’t like her attitude towards certain things but it’s completely human to attach yourself to the one thing that felt real which in her case would be Liam.

      Oh and I don’t think he particularly cares about her looks. Again, she looked ‘better’ during the bangerz era and they’ve been hooking up for a while now so it wouldn’t make sense to go back when she’s ‘worse’.

      Yeah she looked at him like he was a god, but people often only see those pictures when you can find him looking at her in the same way in the same set of pictures. Media just used it as an easy narrative (she’s way more into him). They clearly kept in touch so he didn’t not scurry away the first chance he got. Bangerz explained he was playing with her feelings, he didn’t outright dump her and moved on. The fact that she is with him now, with his family (who don’t seem too keen on her as Chris has even spoken negatively about her in the past) is pretty big.

      I think he’s just as crazy but wants to keep it low-key because of image and all. She doesn’t care as she has enough money and fame already.

      • moohoo says:

        i dont find her nude shots purny at all actually. quite arty in fact. she seems comfortable with her body and doesnt seem to need to enhance it in some artificial way.

      • rosettastoned says:

        @moohoo
        Excessive exercise (and possible drug use) is still “artificial”. She’s also plumped her lips in the past.

      • meh says:

        That J. Law leak. Somebody posted one yesterday that I wish I could unsee. Even Miley doesn’t have any selfies floating around the Internet with what looks like a curling iron stuck up her ass. And don’t tell me that’s “private” or that it was intended for poor NH because we don’t know who was getting them and I call BS to JLaw shading anybody with that selling sex is disgusting and young sex sells interview. She’s sketchy AF and I’d bet she had a lot to do with creating friction between MC and LH by playing favorites and being a snot.

      • Sochan says:

        @moo hoo

        Something tells me you haven’t seen the … um … full range of her recent photos. This isn’t just about nudity.

      • Sochan says:

        @ meh

        That curling iron pic is not JLaw. It’s Bar Refaeli.

        See, this is how rumors and slander are passed around.

      • Sarah says:

        @meh, the curling wand ones were Bar Rafaeli

      • Artemis says:

        @moohoo

        Urr, her shoots with Uncle Terry are GROSS. She’s literally sticking a black dildo into her mouth (sorry CB if this is too graphic, really don’t know how else to explain it). What is artsy about that? Uncle Terry shoots are amateur-ish at best so when you mix in sexual visuals, it does get porny as he has a history of such shoots but usually with unknown models he can exploit. Why Miley would willingly do this, god knows…

    • Meatball says:

      I thought so too. They were together for a while and she was “normal” then she just completely changed. It can throw things off if your partner does a 180 on you.

    • Kat says:

      Exactly. I think he was less bothered by her success and more embarrassed by her vulgar and juvenile attention-seeking antics. Hell, I’d be ashamed to be seen in public with her!

    • Sochan says:

      Someone else wisely pointed out at the time that the girl he broke up with in 2013 was not the same girl he got together with in 2010. I dislike them both so this is not a defense of him, but any person has a right to jump ship when the person yoy fell in love with evolved over time into a person you can barely recognize anymore. Cyrus’s evolution was THE most rapid and extreme of any person I’ve ever seen.

    • Katie says:

      Yeah that’s what I thought too and she doesn’t really seem to have grown up from being that same attention seeking child.

  5. Barrett says:

    Yes he’s a dog, but as odd ball as it is I think there are true feelings between them bc it was first love.

    That does not make it a good idea. I know still get pangs for my first love and I’m 41. Reality and the rose colored memory are 2 different things.

    • Esmom says:

      Yes, first love can be a powerful thing. A good ten years after we broke up, my first love and I would hook up periodically at times when each of us was single, then we’d realize that the nostalgia of first love wasn’t enough to continue. We finally broke that cycle when I got engaged, never saw each other again. Although we do chat and catch up every few years or so.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        I saw my first love again for the first time in 35 years last Thanksgiving. I was surprised at how powerful the feelings still were, even though I would never want to be with him again as a couple even if I wasn’t happily married.

      • Palar says:

        I got back together with my first love 10 years after breaking up with him and 11 yrs and two kids down the track we are still together.

      • Anne tommy says:

        Wow Palar great story, stay happy!

  6. SKF says:

    I think this is a tad unfair. Firstly, who did he cheat with? That was an unsubstantiated rumour. He hooked up with someone right after they broke up and that was really public, but cheating? Not a definite. Also, they were really young and she was going through some epic changes and self-finding. She also did some mortifying stuff. She was 100x more famous than him the whole time they were together; I highly doubt him being jealous of her success was a factor. I honestly think they were too young and going through a lot of change. He may have been a standard young guy douche; but I don’t think the break up was all on him being awful.

    • meh says:

      My feeling is that three years ago they were both at an identity and career crossroads in the months leading up to their breakup and the release of Bangerz. He may have cheated but I think if anything he was moody and hot and cold with her because of how he was feeling about himself. Miley may have been 100% more famous than Liam but she was mostly hanging out with him for the prior few years. But now she was out of the bottle and about to make a huge move careerwise and I don’t think that was a huge obstacle for Liam in of itself. But in terms of his identity and career, I think he wanted to be his own “man” and make his own success and maybe it was hard to feel ownership in his life that he needed at that time when he was in Miley’s shadow. They both needed to step away for themselves but I think it’s telling that Liam has not had a girlfriend in all this time. They both seem on more stable terrain in their own selves now and I seriously doubt they would be spending holidays with each other’s families if this were a casual or temporary hookup. I, unlike many, don’t think Miley is a trainwreck at all. I think she’s a genius and an icon.

    • Ducky la Rue says:

      @SKF, agreed. I constantly see people referring to him as a cheater, but as far as I know, that wasn’t ever confirmed and I don’t think it was ever even stated outright. I seem to recall there were blind items that people guessed might be him, but I don’t remember anything more than that. Could be that I missed some posts, but it seems more like a blind item turned into a rumor, which turned into fact.

      I also thought they were both pretty young, and it isn’t that unusual for people to grow apart or realize they’re not well suited.

    • kate says:

      He went home with January Jones and was photographed leaving her place the next day. This was when he and Miley were very much together.

      • meh says:

        I don’t think there were any photographs of him other than with his brother and her in a car. Where are photos of him leaving her place the next day? I’ve never heard of that.

  7. Ally8 says:

    My photo assumption was that he wasn’t into her new androgynous-kook image. She cut her hair off, started taking off her clothes as part of her act, and it was over.

    Perhaps now she’s agreed to tone down the Madonna/Susan Powter mashup she’s been doing the last few years, and he’s come around to being with an unconventional young woman. Or, you know, papped temporary hookup.

    • Jen43 says:

      Madonna/Susan Powter mashup! Haha. I hope she’s toning it down, but I kind of doubt it. Anyway, I like them together. I hope Liam can bring her stability and get her to stop looking for attention. I fear, however, that her behavior will chase him away again.

  8. Marie says:

    I like them together. I hope it’s true.

  9. NewWester says:

    I thought Miley was involved with some model?

  10. Talie says:

    It was probably Jennifer Lawrence that pushed her back to him, hearing her talk about hooking up with him. I did think Miley outgrew him though — he seems like such a bore in a good package.

  11. Artemis says:

    Apparently Miley and Liam have been seeing each other since the summer very very lowkey (obviously). They’ve been hooking up/spending time for a while it seems so for Miley fans, it doesn’t come as a surprise. I just love gossip.

  12. CornyBlue says:

    I mean Liam does have Miley to thank for his career so i can see why he would after THg is over.. but i thought him and Jen were a thing ? Did i make that up ??

  13. Farah says:

    I want to know Miley’s relationship with JLaw. Jennifer said that her and Liam grew close after they both went through “devastating” breakups. She also admitted they hooked up. Liam refers to Jennifer as one of his best friends.

    I want to be a fly one the wall during those interactions. Jennifer and Miley are both so attention seeking, constantly the center of the universe types. I say this as a JLaw fan. Besides I always got the feeling Miley didn’t like Jennifer, or at the very least, didn’t have a relationship with her at all.

    • CornyBlue says:

      I do not think they have a relationship. If i was either of them i doubt I could have a relationship with the other.

      • Pinky says:

        They’ll all probably hook up together, much to Liam’s (and Mikey’s) delight, until one day JLaw realizes she likes Miley a bit too much and dumps Liam altogether for Miley. Then the man is all sad face that his male fantasy had slipped through his greedy little fingers.

      • CornyBlue says:

        @Pinky I am crying good god.

    • Kiki says:

      My feeling is that Miley doesn’t like Jennifer Lawrence at all. JLaw went on a talk show and told a story about herself vomiting at an Oscars show and Miley telling her to “Get it together”. I found this quite cheap: using Miley as the ultimate ‘hot mess’ in your humblebrag-story because you know how much attention that will get; because of the public opinion on Miley. Miley nipped it in the butt real quick: she tweeted “That never happened.”
      I think Miley has been keeping contact with Liam all this time, and it’s no coincidence that now they are spotted out publicly after JLaw told the world that they hooked up. This is Miley’s way of showing JLaw that she still has dibs on him.

    • Anya says:

      It was always rumored Miley didn’t like Jlaw and was jealousy about how close she and Liam were since the begining, but during the time Miley and Liam were together Jlaw was with Nick so there was nothing there. After both break ups they definetly got more close, they said amazing things about each other and how they’re best friends and always will be. The timing of Jen admition of kiss off screen is interesting though. They’re both single and lots of tabloids rumours about Jennifer and Liam, then she gives proof something did happened at some point and days later Miley is running to Australia to “hang out” with Liam. Jealousy at the finest form so if Miley and Liam do get back together will be interesting to see the Jlaw, Miley, Liam dynamic.

      • meh says:

        This sounds like fan fiction served up by Jennifer Lawrence’s PR team. My question is why JLaw would decide that now was a good time to say she’d had a little something with Liam? She absolutely had to know that Liam and Miley were involved again. She’s the one who seems to be pushing, not Miley. Miley has never responded to several mean girl shadings by JL.

  14. Melibea says:

    I read somewhere that he actually proposed to her but she wasn’t ready and that’s why they broke up,l don’t know if this is true but I kind of like them together.

  15. serena says:

    I always believed he was a douchebag, so hope Miley finds someone better.

  16. Bread and Circuses says:

    Here’s what I think happened:

    1) Liam and Miley were head over heels for each other and ready to marry.

    2) Then Miley realized her child stardom was over, got desperate for attention, and went berserk with drugs and look-at-me sexuality.

    3) At that point, they needed to be apart. Miley wasn’t ready to be tied down yet, and Liam didn’t want to be with the person she’d become.

    4) Nowadays, Miley has mostly gotten the wild oats out of her system. If the affection and the romantic connection between her and Liam is still there, there’s no reason why they might not re-kindle something. They had a great relationship once; it could happen again.

    • Dee Kay says:

      I feel nuts for saying this b/c it’s so optimistic but I agree with your take on it, BandC. I think it was real, and they were young, and when they’ve grown up a bit more, maybe what was real will still be there.

    • Abby says:

      Co-sign all of this.

    • Anya says:

      Do you really think Miley got the wild oats out of her system? i honestly doubt. She just not going to change over night if ever. This is who she is now and nobody should change who you’re for someone else. This is the biggest issue i have with both of them getting back. Nothing seems to have changed. Miley will probbaly tone down the crazy a little awhile but she won’t change and then eventually the same old problems will appear.

  17. Lou says:

    Eh not surprising. The anger/tension between them has died down, they’ve both gotten a bit older so if they still are into each other then go for it.

    Liam treated her really badly at the end, remember him macking on the Brazilian model in full view of the paps all around LA – before their engagement had ever been publicly ended? Neither were perfect relationship material at that point. I remember wondering why Miley going wild on stage made it ok for him to basically cheat right in her face, or at the very least be extremely disrespectful immediately after a break up. And don’t say Miley twerking onstage is the same thing – those dance moves are choreographed and camera blocked. Even Paula Patton was hugging Robin when he came off stage.

    I think Liam must really be into her because, as you can see with some of the *passionate* comments on here, people paint him as a fool for going near ‘dirty/trashy’ Miley.

    I love this because Jlaw has made a couple of snotty jabs at Miley, even recently admitting that she and Liam had hooked up – like that wouldn’t made an ex wonder if it was during their time — and now Miley is back with Liam.

  18. Lid says:

    Going to take a bit of a cynical route here..
    Do you think perhaps he is being an opportunist when it comes to Miley? Could this be a pr thing for him? I get the impression he is a bit competitive with his brother.. And now that the hunger games series is over, and other movies meant to have him break out (paranoia,cut bank) have done poorly..
    It appears that he does receive more attention when he is associated with Miley.

    • CornyBlue says:

      Miley is wayy more famous than he is and of course he gets a lot of attention with her. Can be an actual relationship and PR though.

  19. Marty says:

    Good luck Liam. You’re going need it!

  20. Gg says:

    I think they’re friends with benefits. Miley tried on a few other flings but still holds a candle for Liam. In my mind she was the one that initiated this trip to visit him and he is happy to go along, but is not wanting to recommit.

    • Sochan says:

      And the attention she brings to him can’t do him any harm, being as he’s incapable of bringing attention to himself by his own bland, boring, uncharismatic self.

    • Artemis says:

      They could’ve hooked up in the US though. Apparently, they’ve been spotted together before by the public but no pap pictures until now. Australian paps are truly the best/worst.

      Anyway, Liam would not allow an ex that wasn’t all that loved in the end by his family, to travel all the way to Australia AND hang out in public with his family with her if it was just about sex. Way too much effort. Casual should be the least effort and the most fun and certainly not hanging out with family lmao. Two young rich people have plenty of time to hook up, no need to travel that long when it isn’t serious.

  21. Tiffany says:

    They do not bring out the best in each other right now.

  22. CLThor says:

    The really, really sad part about this whole thing with Miley hanging out with Liam’s family in Australia is that Tacky Pataky is actually trying to use this for exposure. In all the pics posted of miley you can see Elsa right beside her, hugging her and pulling the same faces. Its so obvious she is just trying to glean some fallout fame from her brother in law’s love life that has nothing to do with her. Just wait if Liam and MIley actually get back together Tacky Pataky is going to be calling up every pap in her speed dial saying how she loved them right from the start and she’s a saintly family oriented person blah blah blah. But the really, really, really sad part is that it is actually working. All the gossip sites are tacking her name on in these miley/liam articles

    • Dan says:

      Didn’t Chris just recently shade the Miley relationship? he said, he had to watch Liam being reckless and being in a relationhsip he shouldn’t be in it, making stupid decisions and it was obvious related to the tragic relationship with Miley. Mess. lol

  23. Clarke says:

    lol at young people being stupid. In what universe his looks like a good idea? they were only healthy and good for each other early on. They broke up and made up a lot, got engaged and the last year was a miserable mess for both. Lots of cheating rumours for both. Miley still the same crazy free spirit. Actually she has gotten worse than the 2013 phase they were miserable and broke up. They’re both dumb going for that again. Liam even more because he just ensured he will have no career beside Miley’s on off boyfriend. He was doing well since the break up. Now back to tabloid mess.
