It’s been a wild summer for Miley Cyrus. After splitting with her husband, Liam Hemsworth, the singer was linked to Kaitlynn Carter, who was going through her own breakup with husband, Brody Jenner. After a couple months where Cyrus and Carter seemed nearly inseparable, the two have called it quits, determining that they’re better off as friends.

“Miley and Kaitlynn are no longer together romantically. They have been there for each other through tough times recently but decided it's best to be friends,” a source told ET.

Cyrus and Carter were first seen together on a vacation to Italy last month, where they were photographed cuddling and kissing. Those photos reportedly caused Hemsworth to go ahead and file for divorce.

“He thought they could work it out, but all those pictures of her and Kaitlynn ended that,” a source told Us Weekly last month. “Liam comes from a very conservative family and his family was freaked out by it.”

Cyrus had reportedly been hoping to take some time from Hemsworth, but had not completely ruled out a reconciliation.

“Miley was asking for a break and wanted to soul search and came to the realization she was unhappy,” a source told ET after their split was announced. “Miley's parents have been supportive. They just want her to be happy.”

Cyrus went on to perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday night after the news of her breakup with Carter was announced. The split doesn’t necessarily mean there will be no more photos of them together, though, as the two decided to remain friends.

“They’ve been friends forever and were there for each other when they were both getting separated,” a source told People. “But they’re just not in a romantic relationship anymore.”
