MILEY Cyrus confessed that her “very public” divorce with Liam Hemsworth felt like “death” after the couple called it quits in 2019 following a 10-year-long relationship.
The 27-year-old pop star also said in the same revealing interview that she lost her virginity to the Hunger Games actor when she was 16-years-old.
Miley gave fans a very intimate glimpse into her personal life during a chat on the Call Her Daddy podcast following the release of her latest single Midnight Sky.
The Hannah Montana alum revealed: “I had a very public, very big breakup that was a 10-year span of a relationship.
“I tried not to get lost in the emotion … It’s like a death when you lose a loved one, it’s that deep.”
She emphasized by repeating it once more: “It feels like a death.”
The actress added that their split allowed her to focus solely on herself.
“I wasn’t getting dressed for you or for someone to think I look sexy, I was getting dressed for me.
“That’s something that happened in my last breakup. Since I was 26 I have felt like I am always doing what I want from me,” she told show host Alexandra Cooper.
Miley and Liam, 30, dated for several years and became engaged in 2012 only to end their romance in 2013.
They reconciled in 2015 and married in 2018 in a small private wedding in Nashville.
However, they announced they had split for good in August 2019.
The Disney Channel alum also admitted to losing her virginity to her husband-to-be when she was 16 after meeting on the set of their romance drama The Last Song.
She said: “I didn’t go all the way with a dude until I was 16. But I ended up marrying the guy, so that’s pretty crazy.
“I lied and said he wasn’t the first so I didn’t seem like a loser”.
Miley says she held on to her fib for “10 years” before coming clean.
The star also revealed her first sexual experience was a threesome with two girls.
She explained: ‘The first time I ever hooked up with anyone was with a girl, two of them,” adding that they went beyond “first base.”
The Can’t Be Tamed songstress said she was “attracted to girls way before I was ever attracted to guys.”
Miley has broken her silence on her split from Cody Simpson, and revealed the former couple are taking time apart to “work” on themselves.
The singer said they’re still “friends,” but “individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be.”
She said in an Instagram Live video: “A year ago, almost to this exact date, the media tried to tell my story for me, and control my narrative, and I’m just not accepting that.
“So today, it came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up.”
She began her relationship with Cody in 2019 after Miley divorced Liam and enjoyed a public fling with Brody Jenner’s ex, Katelynn Carter.
Meanwhile, Liam has moved on with 24-year-old model Gabriella Brooks – who he was first linked to in early 2019.
