And a video has since resurfaced on Instagram of the couple looking distant in the final days of their doomed seven-month marriage.

The footage shows Miley, 26, and Liam, 29, strolling down the street looking downcast and distracted.

The Can’t Be Tamed singer gazed down at her iPhone and kept her distance from her husband, trailing at least a metre behind him. 

Meanwhile, Liam wore a sullen expression on his face as he walked ahead.

The footage was taken after Miley’s performance at the Glastonbury music festival in England and before Liam returned to Australia alone.

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.’ 

Their story: Miley 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. Pictured on February 26, 2012 in West Hollywood

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.’

She concluded by a 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.’
