The decade-long, on-again, off-again romance between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth remains one of Hollywood’s most captivating modern love stories, yet their final chapter is arguably the most fascinating. As of December 2025, the former power couple has officially closed the book on their shared history, not just with a divorce finalized years ago, but with a shocking, parallel development: both stars are now engaged to new partners, marking a truly final and happy separation for two people who once seemed destined to be each other’s endgame. This article explores their intertwined biographies, the definitive timeline of their whirlwind relationship, the cultural legacy of their breakup, and the exciting new lives they have built, culminating in their respective 2025 engagements.

The Tumultuous Timeline: From 'The Last Song' to the Malibu Fire
The relationship between the singer and the Australian actor was a defining feature of celebrity news for over ten years, characterized by dramatic highs and lows that fueled countless headlines and songs.
They first met in 2009 while filming the romantic drama *The Last Song*, quickly becoming an inseparable couple. By May 2012, they announced their first engagement, but the pressures of their demanding careers and public scrutiny led to their first major breakup in September 2013.
After a three-year separation, they rekindled their romance in 2016, with Miley once again wearing the engagement ring Liam had given her. Their relationship seemed stronger than ever, weathering the pop star's artistic evolution and the actor's rising career.
A pivotal, tragic event in their story was the devastating Woolsey Fire in November 2018, which completely destroyed their shared home in Malibu. The couple described the event as heartbreaking, yet it seemed to solidify their bond. Just a month later, in a private ceremony at their Tennessee home in December 2018, Miley and Liam officially married.
The marriage, however, was short-lived. After only six months of official matrimony, they separated in August 2019, and the divorce was finalized in 2020.
The Cultural Legacy of 'Flowers' and Moving On
While the divorce itself was a major news story, the true final word on their relationship came in the form of music. In 2023, Miley Cyrus released the smash hit "Flowers," a song that instantly became a global self-love anthem and was widely interpreted as a direct response to her relationship with Liam.
The song’s lyrics, which detail buying oneself flowers and dancing solo, were seen as a powerful declaration of independence and self-sufficiency following the split. "Flowers" not only broke streaming records but also earned Miley a Grammy Award in 2025, cementing its status as a defining piece of her post-Liam career.
Interestingly, despite the public narrative of a messy breakup, Miley has spoken about still holding on to keepsakes from her ex-husband, indicating a level of continued respect and nostalgia for their time together. Liam, for his part, has maintained a private and dignified silence on the specifics of the divorce, focusing on his career and life in Australia.
Parallel Paths to Forever: The 2025 Engagements
The biggest and most recent news confirming the definitive end of the "Miam" era is the surprising revelation that both Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth became engaged to their long-term partners in 2025, just months apart.
Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks
Liam Hemsworth began dating Australian model Gabriella Brooks in late 2019, shortly after his divorce filing. The couple has kept their relationship largely private, spending a significant amount of time together in Australia. Brooks, who is originally from Sydney, is a 29-year-old model who was scouted at a young age.
In September 2025, the couple officially announced their engagement. This news marks a major milestone for the actor, signifying his commitment to a new, quieter chapter of his life with Brooks.
Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando
Miley Cyrus has also found her forever partner in musician Maxx Morando. The singer and the drummer for the Los Angeles rock band Lilly were first romantically linked in late 2021.
Morando, who is also a songwriter and producer, has maintained a low-key profile, which Miley has publicly appreciated. Their relationship has been a four-year, steady partnership. In December 2025, Miley and Maxx Morando announced their engagement. The engagement ring, a stunning piece designed by Jacquie Aiche, was confirmed in a press release shortly after the announcement.
The simultaneous announcements of two separate engagements within the same year for the former celebrity couple is a rare and compelling twist of fate. It serves as powerful evidence that both Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have successfully moved past their complicated history. Their parallel journeys demonstrate that while their love story may not have had a traditional "happily ever after" together, both have found their individual paths to lasting happiness with new partners, closing the door on the past with mutual success and new beginnings.
