"It sucks when your personal life becomes public," she told <a href="/news/articles/1626765/miley-cyrus-co-star-liam-hemsworth-her-best-friend.jhtml">Seventeen magazine</a>. "So I'm finding ways to make my personal and private life more of my life — which is one of the reasons why I deleted my Twitter. We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very DL. First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time."March 2010: Miley opened up a lot more about the Aussie actor while she was out promoting "The Last Song," <a href="/news/articles/1634665/miley-cyrus-discusses-her-chemistry-with-liam-hemsworth-on-ellen.jhtml">telling Ellen DeGeneres</a> she fell for him pretty quickly. She later added in an interview with <a href="/news/articles/1633398/miley-cyrus-talks-liam-helmsworth.jhtml">Teen Vogue,</a> "I think we're both deeper than normal people — what they think and how they feel.

I'm like that too."June 2010: Cyrus sat down with MTV News and opened up about the influence Hemsworth had over her album <a href="/news/articles/1642036/miley-cyrus-liam-hemsworth-inspired-lot-cant-be-tamed.jhtml">Can't Be Tamed,</a> which she released that month. "There are a lot of songs that are about Liam," she said, later adding, "All of them are about him in a way, but it's also about past relationships that you gotta get over and move on and just about freeing yourself from anything that you feel holds you back. Just let go of anything that's not going to help you in your future and ... always keep going forward."August 2010: While they went strong for about a year, Cyrus and Hemsworth <a href="/news/articles/1646531/inside-miley-cyrus-liam-hemsworths-breakup.jhtml">broke-up for the first time</a> — but they reportedly reconciled one month later.
