You guys, I just went through months’ worth of photos on Miley Cyrus’s Instagram and now I feel like I need to bleach my eyes. YIKES. What’s funny is that I was honestly just looking for a cute photo of Miley and some of her dogs, anything with animals. But what I found instead was a reverse chronology of her current bangsy, attention-seeking a–hole persona from her last countrified persona just seven months ago. She really changes personalities every time she gets a new deodorant. Anyway, I did find some photos of Miley and her doggos, but she was naked in those pics, so f–k it. This story is about Miley and Liam’s menagerie and who will get “custody” of all of their animals:
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth didn’t have any kids together, but they DID share tons of pets … and now that they’re divorcing, Miley’s keeping all of the animals under her roof. Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ … Miley will keep her menagerie of pets — 7 dogs, 2 horses, 2 mini horses, 3 cats and a pig.
Fact is … if Liam wanted to put up a fight, he could in California because there’s a new law that allows judges to determine which party is best suited to keep the pets. The judge puts a lot of weight on who cares for the animals. Judges even have the power to award joint custody of household pets. In this case, however, it’s no contest. Miley’s the one who gave almost all of the animals a home in the first place — mainly through adoption — and she’s certainly passionate about them. However, it was Liam — while Miley was out of town — who saved the animals during last year’s wildfires in Malibu, which destroyed their home. Miley praised Liam’s heroics on Howard Stern. We’re told Liam won’t contest animal custody … Miley gets the critters.
As we first reported … Liam filed for divorce from Miley this week, but it sounds like the divorce will be easy breezy. We’ve learned they have a prenup that keeps all their stuff separate, so there won’t be any bickering over property. Hopefully, Kaitlynn Carter is an animal lover too.
From my understanding – and maybe I’m wrong – but the spread in Malibu was always HERS, wasn’t it? Liam has been living there for years, but she’s the one who bought the property originally. And I’m sure the prenup covered that too, and Miley will likely just keep the property she bought, which is the same property that houses all of these dogs, cats, horses, etc. I could see Liam fighting for, like, his favorite dog or something but I guess not. I guess he’s saying goodbye to all of it and all of their animals. Not even joint visitation?!?!

This comes to no surprise. He’s cutting off all ties to her.
I kind of figured they were all hers to start with, and have always been with her.
I bet he ends up moving back to Australia.
I thought the same. I thought one of the dogs he adopted, but the rest were hers the whole time?
Also did they buy another property in Malibu? Maybe that one is joint? Because their other one burned to the ground.
I think at this point Liam must wants to be done with her. Forever. He’s cutting all ties and he probably wants the divorce to happen as quickly as possible so he is not contesting anything. Not to mention that there is most probably a pre-nup so there isn’t much to fight about anyway. I don’t blame him. I just have the feeling that Liam is REALLY hurt by all of this and it was the wakeup call he needed to get out and stay out of this toxic relationship.
I thought he adopted that curly white haired one that’s in his Instagram avatar. I thought the story was that she found the dog and thought it was perfect for him and he adopted it.
What are Australia’s quarantine laws? If he’s planning on moving back home, he may not want to put any pets through that.
ETA: It’s only ten days. I could see him taking that one dog back with him because I think he’s the legal owner.
Australia Quarantine is a month. My sister moved there with her cat and she was in quarantine for at least 4 weeks.
Apparently that changed in 2012, reduced to 10 days from 30
@Kaiser, when I read your comment about Miley owning the Malibu pad I thought “That’s probably right, because she has more bucks.” But then I remembered an article from a few years back, after one of their break-ups (probably the ‘twerking’ one), that Miley was seen pulling up in a U-Hall with some friends in from of Liam’s Malibu house while he was on location somewhere, and that she was moving in. I just searched and found an article about it.
This excerpt is from the January 19, 2016 online edition of “Vanity Fair – Hollywood” titled “Miley Cyrus moves in with Liam Hemsworth, Sports a Mysterious Ring,” by Josh Duboff.
“Miley’s moving in! Per TMZ, Cyrus and some of her friends “drove a U-Haul truck” to Liam’s Malibu manse over the weekend, concluding a “week-long moving process.” Cyrus’s four dogs are also coming along, which makes six dogs total for the Cyrus-Hemsworths, as Hemsworth already has two (this would seem to be as obvious a concept for a reality show—Miley’s Pound? Six Canines, a Pop Star and an Australian Dude?—as there has ever been).”
So it appears the house is his (and perhaps became ‘theirs’ after the marriage). Unless they moved to her Malibu mansion, which is entirely possible.
His post on Instagram after the fire said “this is all that’s left of my house”
Man, that’s hard. I joked with my husband that I get the kids (two cats and a dog) but in reality, if something ever happened I don’t know what we’d do. Technically I got him the dog, so she’s technically more his. One cat was really more mine, and the other more his – but I don’t think it’d be as simple as it sounds since we only acquired all the animals once we’d been together for some time.
I know a couple who had been engaged for years and split. They legit time shared their dogs for a something like a year or two. And in the end, one of the dogs started getting super jealous of the other dog and kind of harassing it (the other dog was older and the bugging from the younger dog really bothered it) and they ended up splitting them up, and both dogs are happier now. But it wasn’t an easy decision for them to make.
My ex and I adopted two cats together (plus I had a snake from before we were together). They were definitely more bonded to me. But, even though we broke up because of his cheating on and gaslighting of me, I agreed to let him have two one hour visits with them a week, during which I would be going to the gym, running errands or whatever. He said he just missed them so much and wanted to spend time with them. I love all my animals dearly, so I could understand.
Then one day I came home a little early. The cats were staring out the window while their ‘daddy’ was playing my video games on my PS3. Visitation stopped after that. He actually didn’t argue.
ETA: My now husband, who was my FWB after this breakup, has always loved and doted on my (now our) cats. Even when we were just FWB he would bring over treats and toys and spend time playing with them.
I’m sick of her already
Good for him, just getting the heck out…..I know he was really into her, but he’s way better off finding someone he’s better suited to. We’re all probably sick of Miley in one way or another, or maybe some people are still her forever fans, but I’m just not one of them.
I know they have staff and stuff, but dear god that’s a lot of animals to care for and bond with. Not sure if the pig lives inside, but 10 animals in the house?!? Wow.
He’s doing what you do when you part from a toxic person. You cut all ties because the toxic partner uses anything (including pets) to manipulate and hurt you. Good for him. I don’t think he’s a Saint and he chose to be with her for a decade but her post-separation behavior has been revealing.
Sorry but I think the ownership facts are different. When they broke up Liam purchased a huge property in Malibu. He had a dog Tani and later when he started talking with Miley again he adopted Dora, whom Miley had spotted while he was out of the country. He picked Dora up from the shelter when he got back. Miley did move into Liam’s place and he let her make well documented artistic changes to the interior. Miley also bought a smaller property immediately adjacent to Liam’s, after she sold her ranch in the Hills, I think. The house & property that burned down was Liam’s. Also mileys studio burned. I dont know if Miley’s smaller house survived. 2 dogs were Liam’s. I find it hard to believe he is leaving his original dogs behind.
Yeah, this is Miley’s people making their stake to TMZ, not an actual settlement. Whereas Miley’s Instagram is typically endless pictures of herself, Liam would post lots of ‘homey’ shots hanging out with the dogs. I would be very surprised if he gave up his two dogs.
If the dogs got along well with the others, it is sad to split them up. I think it is the right thing to do, the animals stay together. They are probably mostly taken care of by the workers, since the owners travel so much, for work or pleasure.
He means business this time and wants nothing to do with her. I don’t blame him, but I personally would fight for the dogs and cats…
Isn’t there a limit on how many dogs you can have? I love in northern Cali and in my county it think it’s like 4 or 5
The relationship is toast, no way he is taking her back – he’s cutting all ties to her. Explains the other post about her claims about having grown up – sure Jan.
Regardless of who owns which pet, Liam is doing the right thing by getting the divorce done surgically and quickly. The thing with breaking up with someone who has Miley’s “issues”, which may be some kind of personality disorder (NPD, HPD, BPD or a combination thereof), the right thing to do is immediately go “no contact”. People suffering from these disorders invariably try to worm their way back into your heart because it makes them feel they have the power in the relationship and will continue trying to wrap you around their little finger until the next “big drama” comes along, then they’re off and running. I think he may have learned his lesson this time around and probably sought out some advice from psychologists or psychiatrists on best practices when dealing with a personality disordered ex.
He’s so over it from what I can tell. I’m sure the last thing he wants is a bunch of animals – can’t take them Down Under from Cali anyway. He should run from this mess.
Yeah you can – 10 days’ quarantine. It’s a million times better than it used to be.
We have four dogs (and several ‘farm’ animal pets). They are a package deal. If hubby and I ever split, all of the animals would have to stay together. We couldn’t just take one of the dogs out of the mix because it would be devastating for them. They are a pack, and it would be cruel to separate them.
If Miley’s home is their home, then why take them away from there? Again, that would be stressful for the animals, and I’m willing to bet that Liam will wind up spending most of his time in Australia, anyway.
