Miley Cyrus revealed a month ago that she had relationships with both men and women over the years. She further confirmed a few days ago that she considered herself “gender fluid.” I wondered if Miley was paving the way to introduce a new significant other. I also noticed some photos of a beautiful, model-like woman on Miley’s Instagram page but didn’t think much of it. Miley posts selfies with lots of people. She also (at least in the case of Liam Hemsworth and Patrick Schwarzenegger) doesn’t publicize her relationships on Instagram. Until now, that is.
The gorgeous girl appearing in several recent selfies with Miley is model Stella Maxwell. She’s a 24-year-old New Zealander who walks the runway for Victoria’s Secret:
Friends of Miley Cyrus say she’s dating Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell, Confidenti@l has learned.
Pals refer to the “Wrecking Ball” singer and the gorgeous New Zealander as “a couple” and a spy who has spent time with the pair says they have the easy affection of people who have been dating for months.
“They hold hands and hug and are very comfortable together. They’re definitely together,” said our source.
The twosome seem to have been joined at the hip of late. Around the time of her March breakup with Patrick Schwarzenegger, Miley and her gal pal hit the South by Southwest festival in Austin and then stopped off in Vegas together.

Well, good for Miley! I don’t know anything about Stella, but she and Miley look cute together in their joint selfies. My first thought was that Leonardo DiCaprio will be so jealous because he thinks of himself as the Victoria’s Secret magnet. Poor, poor Leo. In all seriousness, Miley looked glowing and so happy at the amfAR event in New York, and this could be a huge reason why.

I hope it’s true, because I really love the idea of Leo gnashing his teeth at Miley swiping all the VS lovelies out from under his nose.
me too! good for stella. i’d rather have slightly grubby Miley than bloated, goat-bearded Leo, too.
Yep, he’s turned into like the crappest faun in Narnia, it’s kind of gross.
are they poor stella’s only choices?
wont someone think of the blonde lingerie models?
“The crappiest faun in Narnia” – made my day. Brilliant, thanks.
hahaha brilliant.
My first thought was for Leo too!!! LOL
I can just see the thought bubble over Leo’s head – “Dammit, foiled!!!”
Blonde VS model under 25, that’s practically the textbook Leo type. Too bad this one’s off the market now, more for Miley!
Ditto!!
i oddly never saw this one coming. but she does look so much happier.
I had the same reaction.
Good for her if it’s true, her girlfriend is very beautiful.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this… like Miley is about to get hurt and things are going to get ugly? Maybe it’s wrecking ball or the blowfish song, but I get the idea that Miley is kind of naive in love and that this VS model is using her for publicity. Hope not… but I get the feeling. :/
Same here.
Wow, I thought that as well. Miley seems so lost, so vulnerable.
She does!
Everything Miley Cyrus says and does seems like a stunt to me. She tries so hard to be original and genuine and she comes off the opposite.
While I do agree that she is prone to stunt-queen antics, this arrangement has a certain ring of truth.
+1
I feel like she went back and read some bios on Madonna and is just copying everything she did even down to her hair and makeup!
Agreed. I really don’t know what to think.
Don’t know about the gender fluidity stuff (I feel like nowadays everyone not a girly ciswoman or a macho cisman is pressured to second guess their gender identity, and she mentioned this right after Caitlyn Jenner came out fully) but I completely buy Miley is bi and seeing this chick. She seems happy and healthy and socially conscious. Just because she doesn’t present like a conventional long haired Disney pop tart doesn’t mean she’s out of control. It seems she’s coming into her own.
Hell yes, Miley. Nothing but love and happiness from me. Live your truth, girl. (And a passionate fist bump, because her girlfriend is HOT)
Stella is fine as hell.
She looks like sex on a beach personified. Lord, where are the napkins? I’m sweatin’.
I’m happy for them but I’m still rolling my eyes. Everything about Miley seems so try hard. Like she desperately wants to be cool and cutting edge, so all decisions are made with that in mind. Nothing about her seems natural or uncalculated.
I feel the same way about Taylor though so maybe it’s me.
No, it’s not just you. Everything about them is so contrived, it is actually painful to watch.
Completely agree with you …………….
Just jumping on the Carla, Lindsey bandwagon before all of Hollywood declare themselves Bi. Expect another Anne Heche here, she will not be heartbroken. We can see right through her.
Once again, bi erasure rears its head. Just because a woman does not end up with a woman does not make their sexuality any less legitimate. I believe fully that Lindsay loved Sam Ronson and that Anne Heche loved Ellen. Someone can be thirsty AND bi, you know.
@Gabriella: Thank you!
I agree she is an insecure tryhard attempting to shed the naff/downmarket qualities of her Disney days, but I can also believe she’s actually bisexual. Like Gabriella says, thirst and bisexuality aren’t mutually exclusive.
I’m not doubting her sexuality at all, just to be clear. Given her usual antics though, I do find her actions too designed to be cool.
Is anyone else vaguely creeped out by how much they look alike, almost like siblings?
I’ve read that people tend to be attracted to people who resemble themselves, so perhaps that’s the dynamic here?
too bad Miley found drugs. She was gorgeous with Liam.
I’m pretty sure she feels 1000 times more like herself these days, which is the most gorgeous thing about a person.
So according to you she’s only having a passionate affair with a gorgeous, sexy creature because she’s on “drugs”? Wow. Yay for drugs.
Seriously, get me some of those drugs.
No shit dude. I’m straight as an arrow and I’d date that chick.
I believe that Miley is on drugs because she’s acting weird in general, not because she is in a relationship with a woman. She is free to date whoever she likes but her drug use is a fact. It has nothing to do with her sexual preferences.
Her girlfriend is so pretty btw. Those legs!
he was cheating on her.
I remember seeing photos where she was so obviously in love with him, and it looked like he was so busy posing for the camera that he forgot she was there. It helped me to be a little more understanding of her antics back in the day. Word on the street was that he treated her like crap–I feel like I would have cut all my hair off and gone a little crazy too, had my first fiancé and current love of my life treated me the way he was rumored to have treated her.
Sometimes I forget how young Miley is, the first pic without make up shows how young she is.
Good for her! Very pretty girls, I hope she stays happy and doesn’t get her heart broken
They’re cute together and they both look happy, good for them. She needs to quit with the Pebbles hairstyle though
Hi B-Meezy.
Agree about the hair. She’s in dire need of a change but I’m just not sure where she should go from here..maybe a lob in a darker, honey-blonde?
Hey Kitten, yeah that would be better than what she’s sportin’ right now.
I definitely thinks she needs to go darker. The dark brown hair was stunning on her back in the day, and I feel like she could rock short and dark now. I think the platinum has had its moment, and now it’s gots tuh go.
Yeah, I’m hoping she dyes her hair black or dark brown. Dark brown would be better.
It would look so much nicer if she let it go to shoulder length.
Miley has marketed herself so poorly (well depending on who you ask) over the past few years that I can’t even look at her without wanting to shower and take preventative antibiotics. But hey maybe that’s what she wants. I’m all about being yourself but with her it just comes across so contrived. Stella is beautiful and Miley does look happy with her. Happier than I have seen her in a long time
Damn at those mile long legs!!!!!
She has incredible legs–super-toned too.
Her legs are amazing! wow
I had to stare at that photo in awe for a few minutes, her legs are just damn incredible!
I really like the way she’s handling herself lately. They make a gorgeous couple. Don’t go tweaking or doing something to make me hate you again Miley!!!
Yuck, Miley is so gross. Stella is gorgeous, seems she should have better taste in women. How about someone like Amber Heard? Sorry Johnny.
Gender fluid? You mean you are bisexual. Women can get away with this (admitting bisexuality), no? That’s their advantage over the guys. Imagine if a guy like say Chris Evans would say in an interview that he’s dating a male model as sidepiece. His PR team would quickly clarify that. Look what happened to Tom Hardy.
Yes, female celebs can “get away with it” because so many heterosexual men fetishize the idea of a woman being with another woman. Generally, heterosexual men don’t take too kindly to their action heroes doing the nasty with another dude.
So I’m not sure if I’d call a woman’s sexuality being wet dream-material to men an “advantage” really. I’m not saying that it’s fair that so many actors feel like they have to keep their bisexuality/homosexuality on the DL, but I take issue with your use of the word “advantage”, as if bisexual women have some sort of upper-hand.
In fact, I know a few bisexual women who would tell you that men constantly asking them for threesomes is actually quite insulting, not to mention a pain in the ass and not advantageous in the slightest.
Kitten, ITA. There is an advantage in terms of social acceptability for bi women, but then there’s the oceans of creepy guys you have to wade through who just want a woman who will hook him up with threesomes. Still, anything that increases social acceptance of the sexuality spectrum Is good, even if it has to start with VS models.
I agree that this is one advantage women and girls have over men and boys in society (although it’s not completely an advantage). Sometimes it seems like people are just a tiny bit more rigid, aggressive, mocking, negative, and hostile when it comes to gay men and men who are a little ‘feminine’ to them, than they are about lesbians and women who come off as androgynous. The violence seems a little more present toward non-heterosexual men and men who are in any way ‘feminine.’
The flipside is that when a man presents that he is not heterosexual or when there’s anything about his behavior or physical appearance that doesn’t fit within the straight male mold, people usually believe it without question, but when it’s a woman there’s more doubt. The doubt seems stronger the less androgynous or ‘masculine’ the woman is. People were more willing to believe that Kristen Stewart is bisexual than they are and were to believe that Hailey Baldwin and Miley Cyrus are bisexual.
Bettyrose, I have to call you out on your statement “There is an advantage in terms of social acceptability for bi women”. This is a myth. As a bisexual woman, there isn’t large social acceptability for bi women in the straight or gay community. Being bi is heavily “uncool” right now, not to mention it isn’t a trend. There isn’t widespread acceptance. There’s a lot of biphobia out there perpetrated by people of all stripes. That’s why a lot of bisexual women identify as straight or lesbian, it’s actually more acceptable to say that. (BTW, I personally don’t agree it’s good to identify as anything you aren’t, but I know a lot of people who do it, because they don’t want the stigma attached to the word). Unfortunately, there’s a real lack of understanding in society towards bisexuals. Even at pride parades, you almost never see any bi visibility if any at all. Bi erasure is definitely a thing. It’s definitely not an advantage.
I don’t think gender fluid and bisexual are the same thing. She’s gender fluid AND bisexual.
I don’t understand “gender fluid” – she identifies as both male and female, depending on the time?
I honestly don’t know so I don’t won’t to attempt explaining I just think it’s a mistake to lump her gender identity with her sexual orientation they aren’t the same thing.
I thought gender fluid was 21st century speak for androgyny.
Or neither gender or both or whatever. ….gender fluid to my understanding means it’s not a single and/or constant thing.
good. honestly, it’s great she came out and it’s encouraging to young women in the same situation. and her gf looks super pretty.
‘and a spy who has spent time with the pair’
Jeez, being famous is so weird. I know this ‘source’ is whatever intern wrote this piece but you literally cannot trust anybody as a celeb. No wonder some are really paranoid!
It’s amazing how quickly people are to immediately call it a stunt or a ‘phase’., rather than believe they are two people who met and liked each other. Maybe one day 2 girls or 2 guys will be able to date each other without people making it into a big deal or dismissing it.
It’s Miley, so it is like the boy who cried wolf. She loves shocking people. She might be happy, good for them, but I simply dislike her. To me, many of what she does is an act.
I don’t think it’s always a big deal when two people of the same gender start dating, even in HW. Cara and Annie only got attention because, IIRC, Cara was believed to still be with Jack O’Connell when she and Annie went public. It seemed like the attention was more on a possible cheating scandal rather than that Cara was dating a woman.
I think the stunt discussion comes in with Miley because everything about her since 2013 has been an endless parade of stunts to receive and maintain attention. Miley cultivated that public perception of shock artist herself. She’s been willing to use every aspect of her life (and even others’ lives and identities) to receive and maintain attention. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that she’d eventually use sexuality and gender identity as a stunt and to receive and maintain attention for it.
If this is not a stunt, and she’s found acceptance and peace and happiness with herself, go on girl, live your truth and be happy. It’s just hard not to wonder if this is just another thing Miley is doing to titillate and get attention, since everything has been fair game as a tool for attention for the past 2+ years.
Well there have been rumors about Miley being into girls since before 2 years ago- even during the days when she dated Liam Hemsworth, had longer, darker hair, and wasn’t getting so much attention for anything besides working out and pap strolls. The rumors started while she was still Hannah Montana. But I just took it as a tabloid thing then.
So she has a girlfriend and everybody loves her now?
Oh no, we weren’t negative and hateful enough for Mark.
Everyone needs to roll out the hate train IMMEDIATELY.
I can’t have my man disappointed like this.
Stella has the most amazing skin I have ever seen in my life. Someone hit the genetic lottery for sure.
Months? She only broke up with Patrick like a moth ago.
stella is freakin gorgeous.
a bit of a young roseanna arquette vibe going on, no?
those legs…gawd…that body…
I am surprised (and impressed) that she kept it so low-key for so long. Good for her.
D@mn, Leo is going to be jealous!
I think drugs were the reason why she was so happy at Amfar. As for this, how do I know it is not some stunt. It is Miley after all.
As crazy as Miley is, she’s fun and enjoys being young. I say “get down honey”!!!! She’s so amusing and bizarre.
I don’t see it. I think it’s just experimenting and nothing more. Maybe they r just flirty touchy people otherwise I don’t think this is real
Watch out for Tay-Tay, she gonna come scoop up your friend.
Is ” gender fluid” a new term and is that the same as bisexual!
No, it’s not at all the same thing as bisexual. There is a difference between gender and sexuality. Gender Fluid may always feel like a mix of the two traditional genders, but may feel more boy some days, and more girl other days. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation where someone is physically, sexually, and emotionally attracted to both men and women.
Watch out Leo and beibs…there is a new modelize in town!!! Twice the man as either one of them, I’m sure!!! 😉
Stella is from Northern Ireland, not New Zealand.
I’ve just realized that Miley looks like a young and skinny version of Hillary Clinton.
just sick
? I’m curious: what do you mean?
They look cute together, and I like that red dress in the other picture. If they’re dating (which they probably are- of all the female celebrities the tabloids could have shipped Miley Cyrus with, they probably wouldn’t have chosen someone less well-known and would have gone with someone more obvious and high-profile- like Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, or Selena Gomez- if this was pure tabloid fanfiction) I hope it works out well for them.
I hope Miley will settle down if her coming out is all true. Maybe she will settle and tone down all her rebellious shenanigans.
