According to reports, the Wrecking Ball hitmaker and the model stunner are known to their friends as ‘a couple’

Miley Cyrus is reportedly dating Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell.

Wrecking Ball hitmaker Miley has kept her love life out of the spotlight since splitting from Patrick Schwarzenegger in April.

But new reports claim the 22-year-old pop star and model Stella have been dating “for months” and are known to friends as “a couple”.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper’s Confidenti@l column: “They hold hands and hug and are very comfortable together. They’re definitely together.”

“There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends. And there are times where I just love being with myself and don’t want to give part of myself away to someone else…

“I think that’s a new freedom for women, especially. I don’t know that my mother would have been able to be 22 and secure in being alone. But my future doesn’t rely on having a partner.”

The twerking superstar appears on the front cover of Paper magazine this month and in her featured interview she admitted she told her mother Tish she was bisexual at the age of 14.

Miley, who was previously engaged to Liam Hemsworth, said: “I remember telling her I admire women in a different way. And she asked me what that meant. And I said, I love them. I love them like I love boys. And it was so hard for her to understand.

“She didn’t want me to be judged and she didn’t want me to go to hell. But she believes in me more than she believes in any God. I just asked for her to accept me. And she has.”
