Cody Simpson’s relationship with Miley Cyrus was a lap that he could not finish.

During the 25-year-old swimmer’s April 19 appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, he shared what led to the demise of his relationship with Miley, 29, after the couple ended things in 2020.

“It was kind of a mutual decision between us knowing that we were going in different directions in our life,” he said. “I had just started training at that point. So, my life was changing and I knew I was going to have to move back to Australia to do it properly and professionally and she was just going into her whole new album was gonna be going out on tour. It was a fork in the road kind of scenario really.”

Cody added that there were no hard feelings between him and the “We Can’t Stop” singer. “We were in different places,” the Aussie singer-songwriter shared. “We had a great amazing year together and everything, we lived together during all the COVID lockdown stuff.”

Cody and Miley called it quits in August 2020 after less than a year of dating. That month, the “Wrecking Ball” singer opened up about their whirlwind romance-which happened to end exactly a year from the date that she and her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth split.

“Like everybody else at this age, we’re just deciding who we wanna be with our lives, what we wanna do with our lives,” she shared on Instagram Live at the time. “And so, don’t make it some drama story if next week we’re out hanging out or getting pizza. We’ve been friends for 10 years and we’re gonna continue to be friends.”
