Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have split after more than a year together, according to reports. Disney star Miley's spokespeople have remained tight-lipped, but representatives for the former Neighbours actor Liam, 20, confirmed the news to People. The pair were co-stars on this year's romantic drama The Last Song. They've faced rumours that they'd broken up in recent months, but in June, Hannah Montana star and Can't Be Tamed singer Miley, 17, denied they had split, telling fans on her website that they were 'so happy'. "I'm not really a big lovey person. I'm not, like, mushy. (But) Liam was the first person that made me want to be in a real relationship," she has said.
