It’s been a crazy couple of months for Miley Cyrus with two very public break ups- the first with her ex husband Liam Hemsworth and the second with her girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter.
Despite only dating for six weeks, Miley and Kaitlynn’s relationship was the hot fling we didn’t see coming, but now a celeb insider has revealed why the pair decided to call it quits.
Speaking to PEOPLE magazine, a source spilled that whilst her relationship with Kaitlynn was “a happy surprise” she felt like things were getting too serious, too quickly.
“Miley split from Liam to focus on herself. Her relationship with Kaitlynn was a happy surprise.
“However, Miley was so invested in her relationship with Liam for a long time. She felt her relationship with Kaitlynn was almost moving in that direction, too.”

“She and Kaitlynn spent every day together, and it just wasn’t anything that Miley wanted to continue doing. She wants to focus on her career. It wasn’t an easy decision, but this is ultimately what she wants.”
PEOPLE broke the news of Miley and Kaitlynn’s break up, saying that the two have remained friends.
“They’ve been friends forever and were there for each other when they were both getting separated but they’re just not in a romantic relationship anymore.”

Despite the break up, Miley and Kaitlynn are still friends.

The threesome, along with her adorable dog Bean, have spent some time in the great outdoors at the Valley of Fire State Park hiking, kayaking and getting the perfect Instagram shots.
And yeah, we’re kind of wishing we were there too.

But her fans were quick to point out that she was looking particularly skinny.
“Is she anorexic?” one questioned whilst another remarked: “Damn girl, eat a burrito or something!”
Miley’s fans were quick to comment that she was looking rather skinny in her Instagram posts.
(Image: Instagram @mileycyrus)Others, meanwhile, jumped to Miley’s defence and slammed the body shamers.
“Stop saying that she needs to ‘eat more’ and that she’s ‘too skinny”. Skinny-shaming is just as hurtful as fat-shaming,” one penned.
“I’m just trying to figure out why so many people are body shaming her ! I’m sick of seeing people say shes anorexic or doing drugs. Shes ALWAYS been skinny. Has she lost even more weight ?? Absolutely but you dont know the reasoning behind it ! Do not judge!”
