In the midst of her ‘Bangerz’ era in 2014, there was a lot of controversy around the former Disney star’s newly-provocative image.

The Aussie singer defended her in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying: “She’s definitely at heart a very sweet, normal, cool girl.

In 2015, they both ran in the same circles and became more familiar with each other, leading Cody to tell GQ Australia: “Miley is one of my best friends and she helps with some of that transitional stuff – trying to escape your childhood

“She’s super open-minded, and I’m working on becoming more like that.”

According to E!, the 26-year-old had also grabbed sushi with Cody, where they shared a ‘quick kiss’ on a different day.

“Can’t I just have a kiss and acai bowl?!?!”

A series of pictures were posted by the stars, including one of Cody kissing Miley on the cheek, calling her his ‘baby’, followed by Miley referring to the singer as her ‘type’.

Shortly after, a source revealed to Entertainment Tonight that they were just having fun together, saying: “Miley and Cody have been friends for years. They have hooked up in the past.

“Cody and Miley have no plans to start dating each other exclusively. They both just want to have fun and are open and honest with each other about that.”

Cody says he isn’t sure Miley is ‘the one’

Days later, during an appearance at the Tiffany & Co. men’s collections launch, Cody shut down claims that Miley could be ‘the one’, saying: “Oh, I don’t know. It’s too early to say.”

According to an Us Weekly report, he stated that he wasn’t single, and was in a ‘very, very happy’ relationship.

He said: “We just have a ball and that’s the most important part of a relationship. The reason why it hasn’t been a really crazy sudden thing is we’ve been friends for so long that when we sort of found each other again in a space where we both met back in the day where we were partying a lot.

"But now we’ve found each other in a space where we’re not partying, working real hard and just like [to] keep things healthy.”

Cody says he’s releasing a song about Miley

Cody told People on Sunday he wrote a song for Miley which she is ‘pretty much forcing’ him to release.

The hit was penned in an attempt to cheer his beau up when he serenaded her in hospital, but the pop star loved it so much she’s now keen for him to release it.

Cody explained: “She was like, ‘If you don’t put this s**t out, I’m putting it out on your behalf for you. I’m getting your Spotify login and doing this s**t myself.”

They share a very-PDA Instagram story

The smitten couple posted a story on IG where they can be seen licking each other’s tongues, with a Joker-esque clown filter on their faces.

They were both topless in the video, with Miley just seen wearing a Calvin Klein bralette.
