  • Kaitlynn Carter is reflecting on her Miley Cyrus breakup.

  • Kaitlynn says that post-Miley split, she’s learned she prefers to keep her relationships out of the public eye.


Ah, remember last summer’s pop culture news cycle? It was a wild time, so allow me to refresh your memory: Everyone found out Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth ended their relationship after Miley was seen canoodling with Kaitlynn Carter (Brody Jenner’s ex) in Italy. It was all very WTF, but Miley and Kaitlynn dated for almost two months before breaking up.

Miley then moved on with Cody Simpson, who she’s still in a relationship with, while Kaitlynn took some time away from dating for herself. Now, Kaitlynn’s opening up about what dating Miley has taught her.

During an appearance on Nick Viall’s Viall Files podcast, Kaitlynn said she now prefers to keep her relationships out of the public eye. “What I’ve really realized is now with dating, I’m super private about it,” she said. “Since last fall, once that whole situation [with Miley] came to a wrap, I was like, ‘That’s the last time I’m doing a public thing.’” Oof.

According to Kaitlynn, having a private relationship with Miley was initially the plan, but that didn’t exactly work out the way they wanted it to. “We actually did work pretty hard to keep it as private as we could, but it is what it is,” Kaitlynn explained. “It’s so hard to go through a breakup in the public eye too. It’s so rough but there’s also a lot to be gained and learned from that. So now, I’m just super, super private.”

The good news here is that Kaitlynn is dating someone new, and she’s making sure they take lots of time before slapping any complicated labels on it. “With the person that I’ve been seeing recently, I’m trying to take it really slow and make sure that everything is in place,” she added. “We’re not boyfriend/girlfriend.”

Well, at the very least, it’s good to see that both exes are in a happy place rn!
