Former Disney star revisits early fame and confirms long-rumoured childhood romance during anniversary special.
Miley Cyrus has confirmed long-standing fan speculation that she once dated fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus during their childhood acting years, making the revelation during the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special on Disney+ and Hulu.
The singer reflected on her early Hollywood days, surprising viewers when she openly acknowledged a brief relationship with actor Dylan Sprouse. “Secretly, OK, Dylan Sprouse was my boyfriend. I think he was the cutest,” Cyrus said, confirming years of rumors circulating among Disney Channel fans.
Cyrus, now 33, joked about the innocence of their young relationship and the tight-knit world of Disney child stars at the time. She also referenced shared outings with Sprouse and his twin brother, Cole Sprouse, noting lighthearted memories from that period.
The two stars previously appeared together in the 2006 Disney crossover event That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, which brought together several hit shows of the era and cemented their early fame.
Sprouse had hinted at the relationship years earlier in a 2008 television interview, though the details remained largely speculative until Cyrus’ recent confirmation. The moment quickly went viral across social media, with fans revisiting Disney’s golden age of teen television.
Cyrus also reflected on her past relationship with singer Nick Jonas, saying both have moved forward in life. She is currently engaged to musician Maxx Morando and described entering a more grounded chapter of her personal journey.
