Hollywood’s power couple Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have decided to call it quits after just eight months of their marriage.

The duo that has been together for the last ten years is headed to a breakup, their representatives confirmed to E! News.

The devastating news has come as a major shock to Cyrus and Hemsworth’s fans. Revealing as to what led the couple to call it quits, Elle said, “They had been struggling for a while, but their distance and different career priorities ultimately get to flow alone,” according to the reporting quoted a source as a statement.

They keep on trying to make it work for months but now haven’t felt they were connecting on the level they were feeling when they got married last year.

Cyrus and Hemsworth married at the end of December in a small wedding at Cyrus’ Nashville home.

The source further went on to add, “The two have been spending a lot of time aside. While Liam is more focused on a more simplified lifestyle while Miley has been preparing for a new wave of her music career. She has been getting to put out music and be back in the game touring and performing. They really grew alone.”

Apparently, the duo has not ended it on a bad note.

“They have been still communicating and it wasn’t a messy separation but they have also decided that they are at different points in their lives currently.”

‘The Wrecking Ball’ singer’s representative in the initial statement said, “Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided that this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share although lovingly taking this time aside. Please respect their process and privacy.”

Meanwhile, when Liam Hemsworth was asked to comment on his break up with Miley Cyrus, he said, “You don’t understand what it’s like. I don’t want to talk about it, mate.”
