Yesterday, we reported that Miley Cyrus admitted to lying to her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth by claiming that she had lost her virginity to someone else, when he was really the first person she had sex with when she was 16 years-old. Now, Cyrus is opening up more about their relationship, saying that their breakup felt “like a death.”

“I had a very public, very big breakup that was over a 10-year span of a relationship,” Cyrus said, according to Daily Mail. “It’s like a death when you lose a love that deep. It feels like a death.”

“Honestly, sometimes [death] even feels easier because [with a breakup] the person is still walking on the earth,” she added.

Cyrus and Hemsworth met back in 2010, while filming the Nicholas Sparks movie The Last Song. They married in December of 2018, only to split months later in August of 2019. While the breakup was devastating, the silver lining of it for Cyrus was that she was able to reclaim her sense of self.

“Going though a massive breakup, one thing I gained through all the loss is an idea that what I do is for me,” Cyrus, 27, explained.

Cyrus also talked about what she is looking for in her next relationship.

“I’ve been very experimental. I just really don’t have a type,” she said.

One thing that is necessary in a partner for Cyrus is someone who is “living a sober lifestyle.”

“I now no longer look at any sort of AA meetings because I myself, I don’t really want to help someone on their journey of addiction, because I need to take care of my own self,” she said. “But I do know, you don’t as someone that’s living a sober lifestyle, don’t go to the club looking for your next partner, you know? “

“So put yourself in places where you’ll be successful so you don’t get stuck on, ‘I’m just always wasting my time, meeting these kinds of people,'” Cyrus added. “It’s like, you can really control the kind of people that are going to flow in and out of your life and you can create a filtration system. So I’ve filtered my life of what I will accept and what I will not.”
