Miley Cyrus & Kaitlynn Carter have broken up: ‘They’re still friends’

Well, I was right about one thing and wrong about another thing. I was right about the fact that Miley Cyrus just wasn’t into Kaitlynn Carter, and that the relationship was just a temporary/placeholder situation, a quick jumpoff for melodrama and attention. I was wrong about when Miley would phase out of “the Kaitlynn era.” I thought it would be like most Miley eras, about six months, and that Kaitlynn needed to start planning for what she would do in January when this sh-t blew up. I was wrong: the Kaitlynn era last about two months, if that. It depends on when we’re saying Miley and Kaitlynn “started.” But they’re definitely over now!

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter‘s romantic relationship is over, PEOPLE has exclusively learned.

“Miley and Kaitlyn broke up,” says a source. “They’re still friends.”

The news comes one week after the “Slide Away” singer, 26, and The Hills: New Beginnings star, 31, were spotted out in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 14.

“They’ve been friends forever and were there for each other when they were both getting separated,” the insider adds, “but they’re just not in a romantic relationship anymore.”

The two had been spending quality time together since announcing their splits from their respective husbands, and a source previously told PEOPLE they lived together in Los Angeles.

It feels like it was just a week ago that they were performing their love for strangers at a New York club. Sigh… it was two weeks ago! Nevermind that Miley made a huge argument about how she’s SUPER MATURE now and she’s not just doing crazy stunts to get attention. I’d say cycling through a jumpoff affair-turned-legit-relationship in two months is pretty… immature. What’s the over/under on Miley trying to win back Liam?

    I think she’ll definitely try for Liam. Interested to see if Liam’s crazy enough to take her back. The on-off thing feels like too much for him I think

    • otaku fairy.... says:

      This time I think both Miley and Liam are done for good, and that’s for the best.

      • Sunshine says:

        Honestly I am disgusted by her behavior/actions. She used her breakup to push a song early and to publicly get under his skin. They were obviously talking to each other though all those people articles and she didn’t expect him to actually flie for divorce.

        Airing someone’s (that you supposedly love) potential addiction problem is callous. I am sure she intionally created that song to represent the period of time they had been broken up. And the pill and whiskey line could have easily been about her own struggles. She only wanted to hurt him and his family. Such a toxic situation

      • Purplehazeforever says:

        I wouldn’t be so sure…Liam is most likely done but Miley? I find the timing of this breakup odd. A week ago or so ago Lindsay Lohan hit on Liam on a media post..no one thought nothing of it because it’s Lindsay Lohan. It’s probably nothing but I’m surprised that this breakup is on the heels of that. Both Miley & Liam do seem to be in a cycle of an unhealthy pattern but if the divorce goes through, then it’s been broken.

  2. Bubbagirl says:

    Wow I thought this was true love. Can’t believe! Never saw this coming….

  3. minx says:

    Shocked, shocked I tell you.

  4. Kittycat says:

    I pray Liam’s family have him on lock down till the divorce is final.

  5. SKF says:

    It was so very peformative.

  6. Socks says:

    She most definitely will try to go back to Liam. I think he’s done for good. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    • Kebbie says:

      She posted a selfie with one of her dogs. I’m guessing that’ll be her angle if she tries to get him back. Acting like she’s low-key, just hanging out with their pets. That’s the Miley he fell in love with and went back to before.

      Then the second he buys it, she gets antsy and feels the need to rebel against being “normal.“ Hopefully he understands now that she’ll never be consistent or happy being that person.

  7. Spicecake38 says:

    I never saw this coming,Said no one ever …

  8. Digital Unicorn says:

    Never saw that coming NOT. However it crashed and burned a lot quicker than I thought it would.

    Cue a PR campaign trying to get back with Liam and her focusing to save ‘her marriage’. I hope he stays away – they are not a couple who belong together.

  9. Chaine says:

    Next headline “Miley Jets to Australia in Desperate Bid to Save Marriage”

  10. My3cents says:

    Let’s just hope this dosen’t lead to another single/album. There’s only so much second hand embarrassment we can take.

  11. AnnaKist says:

    I can’t speak. I can’t think. Let me just catch my breath. The … gulp … shock…

  12. Tourmaline says:

    I’m not ready for it to end!

  13. Moptop says:

    Those amber tinted glasses are not working for her.

  14. Chef Grace says:

    Another one bites the dust.
    Close the Aussie borders. And run Liam. 🏃Run. 👰

  15. Michael says:

    Noooooooooooooo

  16. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    I’m heartbroken.

  17. E says:

    Run, Liam, Run.

  18. sour patch says:

    I guess this publicity stunt didn’t help her sell her single and album like she thought it would. On to the next gimmick.

    • holly hobby says:

      Yeah I thought that too. The relationship didnt’ generate into sales so bye bye caitlyn.

    • L.fan says:

      Wrong, her single slide away is amazing … calming and enchanting.
      I truly think everyone has it twisted with them. She is the stronger one. Watch for it 🙅‍♀️ She is sad but done. Had a jump off but ready to roll

  19. Michael says:

    I think Miley will be sporting somebody new very soon. She does not want to look like she “lost” My guess is a Stella Maxwell reunion. I certainly hope that Liam is not entertaining any thoughts of reconnecting with her.

  20. Yes Doubtful says:

    How is it possible that their thirst for revenge against their exes and media attention didn’t turn this relationship into a love story for the ages?? Ha! Oh well, Kaitlynn will go back to obscurity and Miley will find her next victim. Liam, run!

  21. Liz version 700 says:

    And so true love is dead….. I do hope Liam’s family has him on a remote island with no cell phone service.

  22. FHMom says:

    I wonder what her next move will be. I hope it doesnt involve Liam.

    • Elisa says:

      of course it will, but she showed her true colors over the last few months and I hope Liam realized what a mess she is and stays away…

  23. Ruyana says:

    She is erratic to the nth degree. She’s exhausting to read about and I can’t even imagine trying to live with her.

  24. Boxy Lady says:

    I would say I hope it was worth it but I doubt that it was. Maybe only for Liam because now he can leave this drama for good and no one can fault him for it.

  25. SJR says:

    Miley will do anything for attention. She is like Madonna in that way. Shock value, whatever it takes to keep her face in front of the public.
    All the drama, all the time. Exhausting.

    After that twerking mess with Robin Thicke, every time I see Liam, I think I bet his Mom is gritting her teeth so hard having to sit at family get togethers and be polite to Miley.
    Aargh, who needs that?

    Liam, dude, run for it!

  26. Jaded says:

    Gee what a surprise. Said no one ever.

  27. barbwire says:

    miley is a washed up, 2nd rate, narcissistic brat. she never completes anything she starts…her hiphop phase, malibu girl, country chipmunk, porn star/lounge lizard and her on again-off again relationships. she desperately needs some some of help instead of projecting her lack of focus on everyone else around her. i used to really enjoy her and her freshness but now she screams desperation

    • stormsmama says:

      her music is not bad recently tho-
      have you listened to any of it? she’s growing.

      • Seán says:

        Her new music is actually quite good and she has a real raspy rocker voice which could lead to great things! It’s a shame her talent is outweighed by all her antics.

  28. jenner says:

    I can’t believe this nonsense “relationship” has been making the headlines for the past month. It’s so ridiculous, she is still a tween, trapped by her fame.

  29. Tpoe says:

    Wait a minute, that headline isn’t quite right. Let my try my hand at fixing it for you. How about:

    “Fake couples ends fake relationship. Nobody cares. “

  30. Lizzie says:

    Is Miley just gay and all of her pansexual open relationship stuff her struggling to fully come out? I am not trying to erase bisexuality – which – is a real thing. But is SHE? It seems like she’s unfulfilled and just throwing shit at the wall.

  31. Ye says:

    I’m disappointed. Very few young and famous female+female couples out there representing. But the rebound is bound to bounce…

  32. clairej says:

    Liam was in Bali last week. My daughters friend was in the same restaurant. He must be being looked after because the whole family was there.

    • SarahConnor says:

      That sounds wonderful. Good for him!

    • Dee Kay says:

      Oh wow. So all of the hopes that Liam’s family has him on lockdown far away from Miley and social media have come true. I hope someone is telling his parents and brothers to keep him there for at least another week or two!!!

    • megs283 says:

      Wow, your daughter’s friend is LUCKY! I would have fallen over if the Hemsworth crew ate at the same restaurant I was at…

  33. SpilldatT says:

    I’m so shocked, said nobody ever.

  34. Christin says:

    The only surprising thing is that it did not last at least another month, to make it seem more realistic.

    It won’t be surprising if Liam begins talking to her again. After all, he went back after a messy breakup and they married, Maybe they are more alike than we think.

  35. Valiantly Varnished says:

    Oh she’s DEFINITELY going to make a move to get Liam back. And I truly hope he stays far away from her toxic and self-destructive a$$.

  36. The Recluse says:

    On Twitter people kept saying, Run, Liam, run!

  37. Mrs. Peel says:

    Only a matter of time before Kristen Stewart comes sniffing around …

  38. kerwood says:

    I have absolutely no use for Miley Cyrus and am not the tiniest bit surprised that her latest publicity stunt/attention grab is over. She probably didn’t get the level of attention she was expecting. I don’t think she realizes that she’s gone to the well too many times for people to care.

    On the other hand, I don’t see Liam Hemsworth as any kind of a victim in this. He got what he wanted out of this relationship. He was a nobody before he hooked up with Miley and the only reason people know him is because of his brother and his wife. I don’t see much of a career for him after the divorce is finalized because in all these years, he hasn’t shown that he has a lick of talent. Miley was the best thing that ever happened to him, career-wise.

    In my opinion, Miley Cyrus is a lot like Britney Spears. Minimally talented young women who were the family ATM for most of their lives. What happened to Britney should be a warning to all of these young girls. Britney supports practically everyone that she knows. Her husband and his kids with another woman live the good life off the child support she pays. Her immediate family lives off her too. And Britney clings to her sanity and busts her ass in Vegas. She’s a warning to every child star in the business

    It’s probably a good thing if his family has him on lockdown, because this shit needs to be OVER.

    • otaku fairy.... says:

      The only area where he’s kind of a ‘victim’ is in her putting his booze/drug habit out there. That was low, but even with that his victimhood is very limited because it’s not like attractive rich white famous straight men are treated badly for experimenting or substance abuse. I also think some of the people outraged by her doing that would be fine if the tables were turned and a female celebrity they disliked/ found ‘trash’ (dehumanization- nice feminisms) were exposed in that way, with the excuse of ‘that’s the price of fame/ she’s putting herself out there. People have been saying fun Liam since about 2010 or 2011like he’s some hapless victim. Oh we!l. And yeah, people very much cared about all this. Not caring is calm and silent, and the response has been anything but.

  39. HMC says:

    I’m sure both Liam and Miley are messy AF. Miley’s messiness was just more out there and look at me.

    I hope for both their sales they realize their respective messiness doesn’t compliment each other and find other people either less messy or at least meshes.

    Signed someone who only reads about them on CB

  40. Lens horne says:

    She must be back in her meds…

  41. Marta says:

    Don’t be taken in — Cyrus and Carter are 2 fake, self-absorbed people who will do anything for attention. I hate that I wasted time reading about them.

  42. Jessie says:

    I don’t like to armchair diagnose people, the the intensity and shortness of this screams manic period. I hope people are looking out for her as well.

  43. Kaz says:

    I thought that the relationship was just about sex/having fun so it was real only in that sense. I never thought she’d settle down with that particular girl. I don’t see her and Liam getting back together either.
