Somewhere between ending things with Liam Hemsworth, 32, and dating drummer Maxx Morando, 23, Miley Cyrus, 29, was in a relationship with 25-year-old popstar-turned-Olympic-hopeful Cody Simpson. (FYI, Miley and Cody were first linked back in October 2019, just two months after she and the Hunger Games actor had separated in August 2020.) And if, like us, you’re desperate to know what happened between them and what led to their breakup, you’re in luck, as the Australian swimmer has spilled the beans and revealed everything; although we have to admit we weren’t expecting what he had to say!
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Simpson said that his new swimming career was to blame for his dating life. He said that training for the Tokyo Olympics really took over his life; so much so, he didn’t have the time to be in a relationship. Even if that relationship was with one of the most famous former Disney Channel stars in the world!

"It’s something that not everyone gets, and that was part of the reason I had to end my past two previous relationships,” Simpson told The Sunday Telegraph. "The first one with Miley, I’d just started training towards the end of our relationship and it put me on a path where I realized I was going to go back to Australia if I was going to do it properly," he continued. "I saw all these realizations that maybe it’s time to turn the page in a chapter."
Although Simpson failed to qualify for the Tokyo Games at the Australian Olympic Swimming Trials in June last year, he is now reportedly training hard and looking forward to competing at the Paris Games in 2024. "I’m so psyched to get back to training. See you in 3 years," he wrote on Instagram at the time. Good luck, Cody!
