True love has died again, People reports. Actor Liam Hemsworth and actor and musician Miley Cyrus have separated after a little less than eight months of marriage. Rumors that the honeymoon was over began circulating on Saturday, when Cyrus posted a photograph on her Instagram page in which she was conspicuously not wearing her wedding ring:

Representatives for Cyrus responded to inquiries with a statement confirming that Cyrus and Hemsworth were “lovingly taking this time apart.”:

Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided that this is what’s best while both focus on themselves and their careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.
