Miley Cyrus took a cheeky swipe at her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth during a fan interaction this week.
The Climb hitmaker, 32, was married to the Australian actor, 35, from 2018 to 2020, but things ended abrupty 10 years into their relationship.
In 2023 Miley burst back onto the scene with her fist-pumping, Grammy Award-winning Flowers, which included heavy nods to Liam and celebrated single life.
Now, a fan has taken to social media with an amusing story about meeting Miley at a recent album signing.
Posting a photo of Miley’s scrawl on a vinyl of her album Something Beautiful, which dropped on May 30, X user Liam explained: ‘Miley writing “the best Liam” on my vinyl.’
Taking this as a nod to her ex-husband, many fans said on how ‘real’ the Angels Like You hitmaker is for comment.
‘Lol she’s so real for that,’ said @Pstigger, while @anth0nvy said: ‘I love this woman so much.’
‘This is HILARIOUS,’ commented @1975XO, as @anabiebsmiler wrote: ‘HAHAHAHA WHAT AN ICON.’
Fans were shocked when Liam and Miley announced their split in August 2019, just seven months after tying the knot.
Both have moved on since in relationships kept largely out of the public eye, as Miley has been with Lilly drummer Maxx Morando since 2021, while Hemsworth has been seeing model Gabriella Brooks for even longer.
‘Everyone close to Miley says Maxx brings out the best in her,’ a source told US weekly of their relationship recently.
‘They work very well as a team,’ the source shared. ‘Maxx shares the same passion for music, and he’s one of Miley’s biggest cheerleaders.’
In August 2019, Cyrus shared a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, where she explained why she and the Hunger Games actor ended their relationship.
‘Liam and I have been together for a decade,’ she wrote. ‘I’ve said it before & it remains true, I love Liam and always will. BUT at this point I had to make a healthy decision for myself to leave a previous life behind.
‘I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time. You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking, foul-mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar. I am proud to say, I am simply in a different place from where I was when I was younger.’
Meanwhile, Liam wrote: ‘Hi all. Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.’

Having previously attributed the untangling of her relationship with Liam to her Malibu house burning down in November 2018, just a month before their wedding, Miley recently reflected on this time again.
‘When my house burned down, that was the biggest blessing I’ve ever had in my life, actually,’ the star said during a Q&A at her Something Beautiful event earlier this month, according to People.
‘Losing everything and being able to rebuild, and to be able to be purposeful and choose every piece that I’m gonna collect or also just about the people in my life.
‘And I guess for me, when my house burned down, a lot of my relationships also burned down, and that again just led me to such magic and to have so much gratitude.’
