Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus was spotted kissing her longtime friend, Australian singer Cody Simpson. She then took to Instagram to make light of the situation, dubbing it โHot Girl Fallโ โ continuing on from the USโ Hot Girl Summer โ and posting multiple topless photos of Cody (love you, Miley).
After the jokes, she hit back at critics who were saying sheโs moving on from her separation with Liam Hemsworth too quickly (the two announced their split in August), saying that men are almost never held to the same standards women are and that she shouldnโt have to justify her decisions just because sheโs grown up in the public eye.
Fast forward a couple of hours and the new couple โ if thatโs what they are? โ went Instagram official, with Cody sharing a black and white selfie with Miley to his Instagram Stories, writing โPre swim breakfast courtesy of baby.โ In the image, the 22-year-old is kissing Mileyโs head, while she has her eyes shut and face screwed up.

He then shared a photo of the afformentioned breakfast: peanut butter and banana on toast and a berry smoothie.

Cody and Miley have been friends for years with him saying of the Slide Away singer in 2015, โMiley is one of my best friends and she helps with some of that transitional stuff โ trying to escape your childhood. Sheโs super open-minded and Iโm working on becoming more like that.โ
Before the two met, in 2012, Cody even called Miley his celebrity crush. โMiley Cyrus has always been my childhood celebrity crush,โ he told Fuse at the time. โI know all the words to her songs, Iโm not gonna lie. Iโm not ashamed about it at all.โ
He added, โI was a big Miley Cyrus fan and I think she will be forever the most date-able Disney star.โ
While Mileyโs last high-profile relationship was with Kaitlynn Carter, Cody previously dated Gigi Hadid for several years.
