Miley Cyrus, she who cannot be tamed, is officially living her best life after splitting with husband Liam Hemsworth, soaking in that post break-up glow with a potential new fling.
She and Liam called it quits on Saturday after less than eight months of marriage and many more as a couple. The two announced they’ve decided to “focus on themselves and careers” in a joint statement that took a wrecking ball to the hearts of fans everywhere.
However, it seems as though Miley is taking an on-to-the-next-one approach, as hours before the news broke, she was spotted kissing Kaitlynn Carter, who recently ended her not-so-real marriage to reality TV star and Kardashian step-sibling Brody Jenner.
Miley and Kaitlynn have been vacationing in Lake Como, Italy, with Miley’s sister, and were seen packing on the PDA at the Il Sereno hotel over the weekend, where onlookers said they were “not trying to hide it at all”.
The two have been breathlessly documenting their travels on social media all week, provoking some eyebrow-raising responses from the internet and their exes.
“Rock the boat, don’t rock the boat baby,” Kaitlynn captioned a sun-kissed image of herself and Miley.
Brody sent out the first missive, writing ― what else ― “Hot girl summer” in the comments under the photo.
But the former The Hills star seemingly took his joking too far for Miley’s taste, quipping that “Pics of Liam and I holding hands on the beach” would be coming soon.
Cue Miley entering the conversation with a commendably petty response, alluding to a fight Brody and Kaitlynn had on a recent episode of The Hills: New Beginnings.
″@brodyjenner go take a nap in your truck and cool off #HotGirlSummer,” she hit back, adding two dancing girl emojis.
Miley is apparently looking toward the future after the split, sharing an inspirational message about change on her Instagram.
“Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win. Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa, change is inevitable,” she wrote.
“Life’s a climb… but the view is great,” she later added under a separate photo.
Liam, meanwhile, has been the only one in this love square laying relatively low.
The actor stepped out with older brother Chris Hemsworth in Byron Bay, Australia, where the two picked up some frozen yoghurt.
He even reportedly shut down a reporter when asked about the split, explaining that he didn’t “want to talk about it, mate”, later posting a statement on his Instagram explaining that he won’t be speaking to the media about the break-up.
