Miley, 26, confirmed her split from Liam, 29, after just seven months of marriage on Saturday. The day before, she had been pictured getting close to Kaitlynn, who is also newly single after separating from reality star Brody Jenner.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Miley’s ‘fling came as a shock’ to Liam.

‘Their marriage is over and Liam is absolutely heartbroken, but Miley is making up for lost time,’ claimed a source close to the couple.
‘He wants to settle down and have a conventional family including kids, but that couldn’t be further from what Miley is after right now.
‘She made it clear she wanted to be able to have fun with other people – men and women – but it’s always been something he’s had a hard time understanding.’

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker confirmed to People magazine on Saturday that she and Liam had gone their separate ways.
Her spokesperson said: ‘Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.
‘They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.’
The pair had married in a secret wedding ceremony on December 23, 2018 at their home in Franklin, Tennessee.

Miley, who identifies as pansexual, revealed last month that she saw their marriage as ‘confusing, complex and modern’, and insisted that she was still ‘very sexually attracted to women’.
She and Liam had dated on and off since 2010. The couple were initially engaged in June 2012 before calling it off in September 2013. They later reconciled in 2016.
Their last public appearance together was at the Met Gala in New York City three months ago.

A source told E! News of the break-up: ‘They have been trying to make it work for months now but haven’t felt they were connecting on the level they were feeling when they got married last year. It’s been a rough year.
‘She has been ready to put out music and be back in the game touring and performing. They really grew apart.
‘Miley and Liam have still been communicating and it wasn’t a messy split but they haven’t decided they are at different points in their lives currently.’
