10. After the series ended in 2011—there was also the 2009 big-screen release Hannah Montana: The Movie—Miley admitted she struggled to find herself.
“Some of my audience was so attached to a character, which wasn’t me,” she told Howard Stern in 2020. “So, then that does a lot of psychological stuff, where it’s like, ‘Am I valuable as myself?’ OK, the whole show’s premise was that when I had my normal hair and looked like myself, no one gave a s–t about me. And then when I got all dolled up and put a wig on, all of a sudden, I’m being chased by people chasing my tour bus. That’s a lot to put on a kid—to go, ‘When you’re yourself, no one gives a f–k.'”
11. It was love at first sight for Miley when she met her first boyfriend Nick Jonas at a charity event in 2006, when they were both 13 years old. “We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met,” Miley revealed to Seventeen in 2008. “He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.'”
After secretly dating, the couple broke up and Miley admitted she “bawled for a month straight” after their split. “Nick and I loved each other,” she told Seventeen. “We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7.”
In 2025, Miley shared where the exes stand.
“I like Nick, I’m into him,” she said on the Every Single Album podcast. “We’re all moving on. Everything is good in the world.”
