Over the following months, the couple shared various social media posts together, including birthday tributes and a video of Miley giving Cody a haircut. However, in August 2020, Miley confirmed breakup rumors during an Instagram Live. “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,” she 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 two individuals that are participating in it.” She continued, “For 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’re just deciding who we wanna be with our lives, what we wanna do with our lives. And so don’t make it some drama story if next week we’re out hanging out or getting pizza. We’ve been friends for 10 years and we’re gonna continue to be friends. Just don’t make it something that it is not. And with that being said, I’m done with the bullshit.”
