The One Big Star Miley Cyrus Is Majorly Crushing On

Miley Cyrus is no "Prisoner" to love — she has always been one to kiss and tell.

In 2008, after her and Nick Jonas' teenage romance made headlines for two years, the Tennessee native opened up about the love she found with her fellow singer. "Nick and I loved each other," Cyrus shared with Seventeen magazine (via People). "We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7," she explained, before suggesting there is still a chance they could get married. Cupid had a different plan for them, though. Jonas married actress Priyanka Chopra in 2018 and Cyrus tied the knot with Liam Hemsworth after dating on and off for nearly a decade that same year. Cyrus and Hemsworth split after eight months of marriage.

After her divorce, the former Disney star was spotted smooching Kaitlynn Carter on a vacation in Italy, per TMZ, who had recently separated from Brody Jenner. The pair had a quick, but very public, fling. The relationship ran its course, and Cyrus quickly found love for the singer and songwriter Cody Simpson. Cyrus was not afraid to highlight this relationship either, often sharing intimate moments with her new man from Down Under on social media. 

Simpson and Cyrus' romance ended in August 2020, and Cyrus has since stayed single. However, she recently shared who she's got her eye on. Keep reading to learn the one big star Miley Cyrus is majorly crushing on.

Miley Cyrus seems to have a thing for talented men who were born overseas; her newest crush is the one and only Harry Styles. Cyrus revealed the secret on The United Kingdom's Heart Radio after being asked if she would rather lock lips with Justin Bieber or Harry Styles. The "Wrecking Ball" singer immediately nixed Bieber as an option because they're too close in real life. "Justin Bieber I've known way too long... It's like family. Harry Styles, he's looking really good," she answered. "We have very similar taste. I think sharing a closet, sharing a life together, it just makes sense," she continued, also admitting that she liked his fishnets. The fishnets she referred to are the ones that Styles wore when he "broke the internet" in an image for Beauty Papers magazine in March 2020, and, honestly, the stockings would match Cyrus' new edgy, rocker vibe. 

Cyrus and Styles have met before, and were reported to be flirting in 2013. However, no romance came from the cheeky exchanges publicly. The radio host seemed to love this pairing and offered to "make it happen," to which Cyrus responded that "everyone" is "playing cupid" for her. Considering Nicki Swift ran a poll to see who the "Plastic Hearts" songstress should end up with, she's not wrong.

Nicki Swift polled 607 people in December 2020 to weigh in on who they think Miley Cyrus should end up with. Some of her exes were high on the list, with 22.73% writing in Patrick Schwarzenegger and another 18.12% of votes going to Nick Jonas. Cyrus and Schwarzenegger dated only briefly for five months in 2015, but that rekindling seems more likely than a relationship with Jonas, who is married. Coincidentally, Harry Styles received a solid 15.49% of votes. Now that Cyrus has admitted to having some heart eyes for the former One Direction member, there's a chance that even more people could ship the two.

However, the person fans would most like to see Cyrus end up with is her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. That's right, even after they dated off and on for years, married, and divorced, almost 23% of fans voted for Liam Hemsworth — and he wasn't even an option on the poll! It seems like many fans have not yet given up on their romance. Although this poll was just for fun, it is true that Cyrus does still have love for Hemsworth, as she shared in a tweet following her divorce announcement.

While we don't know who the "Midnight Sky" singer will actually end up with next, we do know how she will handle her love life going forward.

In Miley Cyrus' own opinion, the public might be shocked to know that she is a highly organized, logical person across all aspects of life — including her dating life. While no one can guess who will walk into their lives next, Cyrus told Call Her Daddy in August 2020 that she has rules when it comes to her love life.

First, she says the most important thing when it comes to heartbreak is to "not get lost in the emotion" because the world will keep turning with or without you. Instead, Cyrus makes a list of everything she gained or lost in the relationship that caused the heartbreak. Then she assigns each quality a number and adds them all up. "If the person was adding more to your life than you know what is expected for your next relationship," Cyrus explained. "And what they were subtracting you know what you will not accept ever again."

Cyrus also recommends searching for specific traits you desire in a person. For her, she tries to find characteristics in a person that emulate those of her mother Tish Cyrus, who Cyrus deeply idolizes. "It's like you can really control the kind of people that are gonna, like, flow in and out of your life," the singer added. It looks like the only thing left is for Cyrus to see if Harry Styles fits the test.
