Cody Simpson reveals why he REALLY split from Miley Cyrus after almost a year of dating

Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus split in August, 2020, after almost one year of dating.

And on Tuesday, Cody, 25, revealed the real reason why the couple called it quits on their relationship.

The singer-songwriter told KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O show, the pair end things because they were ‘going in different directions’.

‘It was a mutual decision between us knowing we were going in different directions,’ Cody said.

‘I had just started training at that point so my life was changing a lot and I knew I was going to have to move back to Australia and she was going to go on tour.’

Cody went on to say he and the Wrecking Ball hitmaker had an ‘amazing year together’.

He also revealed he is currently single after recently splitting with model Marloes Stevens.

‘I’m single here. It’s a lot with training full time swimming so it’s hard to juggle,’ Cody said.

Miley confirmed her split from Cody in August 2020, after less than a year of dating.

She said during an Instagram Live stream at the time that they were taking time apart to ‘work on’ themselves but remained friends. 

Referencing her split from ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in August 2019, Miley said: ‘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.

‘It was a mutual decision between us knowing we were going in different directions,’ Cody said

‘So today, it came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up. It was confirmed by a ‘reliable source’ even though no one is reliable in a relationship except the individuals who are participating in it.

‘But right now, two halves can’t make a whole and we’re individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be, like everybody else at this age.

‘We are just deciding who we wanna be in our lives, what we wanna do, and so, don’t make it some drama story if next week we’re hanging out, getting pizza.

‘We’ve been friends for 10 years and we’re going to continue to be friends, so just don’t make it something that it is not.’

Single and ready to mingle? He also revealed he is currently single after recently splitting with model Marloes Stevens
