Liam Hemsworth was spotted for the first time since he addressed his split from wife Miley Cyrus, as he headed for a spot of surfing with his brother Chris.
On Tuesday, The Hunger Games star, 29, failed to crack a smile as he emerged from the waters before chatting to his famous sibling while loading up his car.
In breaking his silence shortly before, Liam shared a photo to Instagram on Tuesday of a beach at sunset alongside a brief caption addressed to his fans after it was claimed that they have been separated for months.

‘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,’ the statement read.
‘They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.’

According to TMZ, Miley didn’t begin dating her current squeeze, Brody Jenner’s ex Kaitlynn Carter, until after her split with Liam.
A source claimed the two women, who have been friends for several years, are ‘seeing each other with no labels attached.’
Miley and Kaitlynn, 30, were pictured kissing on a girls’ holiday in Lake Como, Italy on Friday and looked close the day before that. Just 24 hours later, the singer announced her split from Liam.

He is believed to be staying nearby in the $4.3million beach house owned by Chris and his wife Elsa Pataky.

The family love her: Kaitlynn shared this picture of herself on social media on Monday evening and Miley’s sister Brandi commented: ‘Boom boom booooooom!’
As reported by TMZ, the Wrecking Ball star wanted to go into therapy with her husband to fix their relationship but ‘he didn’t come close to meeting her half way.’
While the pair didn’t confirm their break-up until Saturday, it’s believed they actually called it quits in June after ‘drifting apart’.
The last known footage of them together was from July 9, but they looked decidedly unhappy. Meanwhile, according to The Sun, Miley’s fling with Kaitlynn ‘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.’
According to TMZ, Kaitlynn split from Brody Jenner recently because she wanted two things – a baby and a legal marriage.

However Brody did not want to do either and they split as a result. The publication reports that they have confirmed that Kaitlynn and Brody never followed up to get a marriage license in the US so their union was never officially legal.
Meanwhile, it seems as though Miley’s sister Brandi at least is supporting her new close relationship with Kaitlynn.
She shared a sexy snap on social media on Monday night and she wrote in the comments: ‘Boom boom boooooom!’

Miley broke her silence on the split on Sunday morning, telling her Instagram followers she was going to let life take its path.
‘Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win,’ she wrote.
‘Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa, change is inevitable. The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed.
‘My dad always told me, “Nature never hurries but it is always on time”… it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true.’
Ouch! Meanwhile, Miley urged Brody Jenner to ‘take a nap and cool off’ on Sunday after he joked about her kissing his ex Kaitlynn following her shock split from husband Liam
She concluded by reflecting on her own life, saying: ‘I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own.’
On Sunday, Miley urged Brody Jenner to ‘take a nap and cool off’ after he joked about her kissing his ex Kaitlynn Carter following the split.
Brody had taken to social media, where he shared a photo of himself standing on a cliff solo with a pointed caption.
‘Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today,’ he wrote on Instagram, just the day after photos of his ex wife getting hot and heavy with Miley emerged.
The latest: Brody wasn’t in the mood to speak about his ex Kaitlynn’s relationship with Miley Cyrus on Monday in Malibu, when asked about the hook-up between the two, telling photographers, ‘I’m not gonna answer that bulls***
Poking fun at the situation, Brody’s friend Brandon Thomas Lee, 23, took to the comments with a light-hearted response.
‘Let’s round this scandal our band post a pic of us making out,’ the son of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee said with a kissy emoji.
Brody kept up the playful tone in his reply, writing: ‘Watch out! Pics of Liam and I holding hands on the beach coming soon.’
The singer/actress clapped back with a sassy response, telling Jenner: ‘Go take a nap in your truck and cool off. #HotGirlSummer.’
Philosophical approach: Miley broke her silence on the split on Sunday morning, telling her Instagram followers she was going to let life take its path
Miley was alluding to a part of The Hills: New Beginnings where Jenner stormed off from a fight with Carter to spend the night in his car.
But on Monday, Brody wasn’t in the mood to speak about his Kaitlyn’s relationship with Miley.
Asked about the hook-up between the two, Brody told cameramen, ‘I’m not gonna answer that bulls***,’ as he was seen picking up beverages in Malibu, California.
The Hills: New Beginnings personality was ‘totally okay with’ the hook-ups between Cyrus, 26, and his ex, aware about it for ‘a couple of months,’ and remained on good terms with both, a source told Page Six Monday.
Healing process: ‘I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own,’ Miley wrote
‘There’s no drama’ as ‘Brody is still friends with them,’ the source said, noting that it was Brody, the son of Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson, who initially introduced the two to each other.
Kaitlynn and Brody had previously boasted about having threesomes and sex in a bathroom at the Grammys in a newly-unearthed interview.
Speaking in 2015, The Hills star Brody, 35, bragged about his ‘extremely exciting’ intimate activities with Kaitlynn, revealing the couple enjoyed group romps and ‘the best sex’.
Devastated: Liam responded to the break-up on Monday, telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘You don’t understand what it’s like… I don’t want to talk about it, mate’. Pictured in Byron Bay on Monday
Meanwhile, Liam had previously responded to his and Miley’s split on Monday, telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘You don’t understand what it’s like… I don’t want to talk about it, mate.’
That same day, he had appeared visibly downtrodden while strolling through Byron Bay in the first photos taken of him since the break-up.
It’s believed he has spent several weeks in Australia, seeking comfort from friends and family.
It comes after a source told People magazine on Sunday that the couple’s split ‘isn’t shocking to people who are actually with them every day.’
They said: ‘After they reunited [in 2016 following their previous break-up], everyone thought they were this “perfect” couple, but they still had a lot of issues.
‘They’re not on the same page when it comes to a lot of fundamental things that make a relationship work. It’s not surprising at all.’

OK! Australia had previously reported that the couple had clashed over family plans.
Liam had apparently wanted to settle down while Miley wasn’t ready, leading to an ‘explosive fight’ back in July 2018, months before their secret December wedding.
‘He wants kids and doesn’t want to keep putting it off but it’s not quite the timeline Miley had in mind… he is left heartbroken,’ a source said at the time.
‘Miley put off plans for the wedding and Liam was growing tired of it… They haven’t been getting along in recent months.
‘[She] didn’t really want to get married. It’s something that everyone else seemed to get but Liam. [His] family had been begging him to see the light for a long time, but he had faith in Miley. Now he feels like an idiot.’
Cringe! Liam was allegedly embarrassed by Miley’s outrageous behavior at the Met Gala on May 6, with a source telling OK! Australia ‘he gets turned off when she acts up for the cameras’
Furthermore, Liam was also allegedly embarrassed by Miley’s outrageous behavior at the Met Gala in New York City on May 6.

The break-up comes after Miley spoke to Elle magazine last month about how she ‘doesn’t fit into a stereotypical wife role.’
‘I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique,’ she said.
‘I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f**ing apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women.’
‘People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f**ing good, and I know that,’ she added.
‘I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.’
