Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger Reportedly Taking a Break After 5 Months of Dating
Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger have not exactly broken up, but the two are not really together either.
According to E! News, the two are taking a break from each other after five months of dating.
One source tells Us Weekly that the couple, who first stepped out together this past November, haven't been the same since pictures of Schwarzenegger and a female friend getting extra close in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico surfaced online.
The USC student immediately took to social media at the time to clear the air and defend himself.
"Omg. It's one of my best friends girlfriend," he tweeted. "Would never do anything against my GF."
At the time, a source told E! that Schwarzenegger was "devastated and heartbroken" to think he had done Cyrus any pain.
"He doesn't even know what to do with himself and just wants to hide from the world," the source said. "He's had some of his friends around for support, but he's very down and upset. He hasn't cracked a smile or been able to think about anything except Miley."
It was also reported that the "Wrecking Ball" singer ignored the 21-year-old's calls for a week after the scandal, but things appeared to be fine between the two when they were spotted grabbing lunch together on April 2 at Los Angeles eatery Hugo's. That was also the last time that they were photographed together.
In the recent weeks, the two have been apart as Schwarzenegger has been seen partying with friends at Coachella the past two weekends, while Cyrus has surrounded herself with family and friends and was busy getting back to work on Saturday, April 18, in Cleveland, Ohio, where she performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Meanwhile, People Magazine is reporting that the pair is not on a break—they are done for good.
"It's not a break," a source close to the couple tells the magazine. "It's done. They're just in two different places in their lives—he's in college and she's focused on her music and career."
