Miley Cyrus told Parade magazine [via Access Hollywood]: “He’s my first serious boyfriend. [Liam Hemsworth has] become my best friend in the whole wide world. I love him.
“He really respects me for who I am because coming from Australia, he really didn’t know me as the celebrity I am here. I got to tell him about myself on my own terms and my own way. He had no preconceived notion of who I was supposed to be.”
And she realises that her fling with fellow Disney star Nick Jonas, was mere puppy love.
The 17-year-old said: “Nick and I were so young. We really did have a genuine love, but it wasn’t like this. We met when I was 12. I didn’t know who I was. I know who I am now and am so content and full of purpose.”
What about Justin Gaston?
She continued: “He was a good person, so carefree. All I know is that I am so happy right now. I wasn’t last summer after I called it off with Justin and went away to film The Last Song.
“I cried all the way there. The last thing I was expecting to do was to fall in love. I went there thinking the summer was about me and getting focused on my career. But I guess God was like, ‘Girl, here is this amazing guy.’ ”
