Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson were a long time in the making. Simpson, who's now dating Cyrus, apparently was crushing hard on the star for years. Since the two have been showing off some serious PDA, a video from 2012 has resurfaced showing Simpson, who was 15 at the time, talk about Cyrus "has always been my childhood celebrity crush."
"I knew all the words to her songs, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not ashamed about it, at all," he said. "I was a big Miley Cyrus fan. I think she will be, forever, the most dateable Disney star."
The two then became good friends, which Simpson later discussed. In 2015, he briefly mentioned Cyrus in an interview with GQ.
"Miley is one of my best friends and she helps with some of that transitional stuff-trying to escape your childhood," he said. "She's super open-minded and I'm working on becoming more like that."
Cyrus started dating Simpson shortly after her split from Kaitlynn Carter, who she dated for two months after her divorce from Liam Hemsworth was announced. According to TMZ, Carter and Cyrus are still on good terms, and Cyrus ended the relationship once things started to get a little too serious for her comfort. The website also claimed that while Carter doesn't mind that Cyrus has moved on quickly, she's expressed some concerns to Cyrus' friends about her behavior and well-being.
Cyrus has defended her choices on Instagram writing, "Can't I just have a kiss and açaí bowl?!?!"
