Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are getting divorced less than a year after they got married.

A statement from Miley's reps, given to CBS, says the pair have "agreed to separate at this time".

The singer and actor met 10 years ago on the set of Nicholas Sparks' drama The Last Song.

The couple have had an on-off relationship - they briefly broke up in 2013 before getting back together again in 2015 and marrying in 2018.

They got married at her home in Franklin, Tennessee in front of a small group of close family and friends.

The statement continues: "Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what's best while they both focus on themselves and careers.
