Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth officially split after earlier postponing wedding

The New York Post reports

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have confirmed they have officially split.

Representatives for both Cyrus, 20, and Hemsworth, 23, confirmed today that the pair, who got engaged in May 2012, have called things off, the New York Post reports.

The Post reported last week that Hemsworth was seen kissing a brunette at the Toronto Film Festival. Witnesses saw him on a hotel rooftop, "locking lips with a random brunette". Later, "they left together".

Cyrus and Hemsworth, who got together on the set of 2010 movie The Last Song have had a rocky year, first deciding to postpone their wedding.

More recently, the couple have been barely seen together, and the Wrecking Ball singer's controversial MTV VMA performance with Robin Thicke in August was said to be a cause of more tension.

Her VMA performance was widely panned as tacky on social media with many saying her twerking against Thicke's crotch and lewd gestures went too far.

And over the weekend, Cyrus stopped following Hemsworth on Twitter.

Cyrus also recently appeared on German TV show Schlagg Den Raab where she spanked a twerking dwarf.

Her antics haven't gone unnoticed with Vogue editor Anna Wintour dropping her from the magazine's December issue over her "distasteful" VMA performance.

The dramatic departure from her clean-cut image seems to have caused issues closer to home for the young star.

"Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn’t exactly what he signed up for," an unnamed friend of Hemsworth said last month.

The split comes as the singer's new video clip, which shows her getting up close and personal with a sledge hammer and also swinging naked on a large wrecking ball, continues to cause a stir.
