One of Hollywood's favourite couples, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split up this week.
Liam has taken to Instagram to address their breakup for the first time.
'I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.'
The actor posted a picture of the sea at sunset with a short caption about their breakup.
'Hi all Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated...'
'I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.'
He goes on, 'This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets.'
'Any reported quotes attributed to me are false. Peace and Love.'
Daily Mail Australia asked the actor about the breakup but they couldn't get much out of him.
He simply told them, 'You don't understand what it's like...'
'I don't want to talk about it mate.'
