Miley Cyrus jokes about ex-husband Liam Hemsworth ‘catching strays’ after savage dig

The singer has made another cheeky reference to her Aussie ex-husband, just days after throwing shade at him via a fan.

Miley Cyrus made a rare comment about ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.

While breaking down every stage of her music career on the Every Single Album podcast on Thursday, Cyrus joked about the actor “catching strays”, reports Page Six.

Hemsworth came up when the singer, 32, looked back on “really enjoy[ing]” filming The Last Song in 2009 alongside him and “really want[ing] to hang out” every weekend.

“That’s where I met Liam, who I would go on to marry and write a tonne of — or, most of — my songs about,” Cyrus said.

“Talk about catching strays,” she added, referring to a slang phrase that means to unintentionally receive criticism.

The joke referenced a previous admission the former Disney Channel star made in the podcast episode about her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas.

Cyrus noted that after their on-again, off-again romance ended in 2009, she saw the Jonas Brothers member, 32, as a “d**k” and “a**hole” who “dumped” her.

“He’s still catching strays,” the Hannah Montana alum quipped.

However, she clarified to listeners that she “like[s] Nick” and is “into him,” saying, “We’re all moving on. Everything is good. … Niley for life.”

Cyrus, however, did not open up about where she and Hemsworth, 35, stand now.

The former couple started dating in 2010, breaking up multiple times before getting engaged in 2012.

The duo tied the knot in December 2018, only to call it quits before their first anniversary.

Cyrus and Hemsworth have since moved on, respectively, with singer Maxx Morando and model Gabriella Brooks.

While the exes rarely discuss their relationship, the Grammy winner sparked speculation Hemsworth cheated on her with the Muddy Feet song off her Endless Summer Vacation album in 2023.

“And you smell like perfume that I didn’t purchase / Now I know why you’ve been closing the curtains / Get the f**k out of my house,” she sings on the track.

She also addressed their failed marriage in Flowers.

“We were right / ‘Til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn,” the lyrics read, referencing the 2018 wildfire that destroyed their Malibu, California, house.

While Cyrus was believed to have shaded Hemsworth — and his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence — in the song’s music video with a gold Katniss Everdeen-esque dress, she recently denied this.

She, did however, savagely shade her ex earlier this week.

While autographing a vinyl for a fan sharing Hemsworth’s moniker on Wednesday, Cyrus cheekily addressed the signature to “the best Liam.”
