Singer and actress Miley Cyrus has reportedly separated from her husband actor Liam Hemsworth after less than a year of marriage.

โ€œLiam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,โ€ a representative for Cyrus told People in a statement.โ€

โ€œEver-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is whatโ€™s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.โ€

โ€œThey still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.โ€

Fans will recall the pair first met in 2009 while filming The Last Song. They began dating shortly after and made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2010.

Interestingly enough, the โ€œMotherโ€™s Daughterโ€ star shared an Instagram photo on Saturday sans her wedding ring. In fact, the longtime couple has sparked breakup rumors in recent weeks.

Last month, rumors swirled online that the two decided to call it quits. However, Cyrus slammed the haters on social media while also celebrating hers and Hemsworthโ€™s milestone anniversary.

โ€œHappy 10 year anniversary my love,โ€ she wrote, alongside an article that touched on the split speculation. โ€œGood to see everyone is as dumb as they were in 2009! Some things never change โ€ฆ. & I hope the way you feel about me is one of them. Yours truly.โ€

The singer previously told Vanity Fair magazine that she does not hold old-fashioned beliefs about marriage.

โ€œThe reason that people get married sometimes can be old-fashioned, but I think the reason we got married isnโ€™t old-fashioned โ€“ I actually think itโ€™s kind of New Age.

โ€œA big part of my pride and my identity is being a queer person.

โ€œWhat I preach is: People fall in love with people, not gender, not looks, not whatever. What Iโ€™m in love with exists on almost a spiritual level. It has nothing to do with sexuality.

โ€œRelationships and partnerships in a new generation โ€“ I donโ€™t think they have so much to do with sexuality or gender.โ€

โ€œSex is actually a small part, and gender is a very small, almost irrelevant part of relationships,โ€ added Cyrus who has revealed that she is attracted to women.
