Miley Cyrus Reveals Attempts to Save Marriage with Liam Hemsworth Before 2020 Divorce

Miley Cyrus has openly discussed how her evolving public persona significantly impacted her relationship with Liam Hemsworth. During the release of her 2013 album 'Bangerz,' known for its provocative and highly sexualized image, Miley and Liam called off their engagement for the first time, as her bold expression created personal tensions and made dating difficult. In an effort to save their relationship when they reunited, Miley shifted to a less sexualized, more innocent image with her 2017 album 'Younger Now,' hoping this change would help maintain their marriage. She described this change as a "complete 180" and a strategic move to preserve their connection, although it was challenging to balance with her own authenticity and sobriety journey. Despite their efforts, Miley and Liam married in 2018 but eventually divorced in early 2020, reflecting the continual evolution and complexities in their relationship. Throughout, Miley emphasized how her music and personal transformations were closely intertwined with the dynamics of her relationship with Hemsworth.
