When did Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger date? Relationship explored as former couple reunite at Met Gala

Miley Cyrus, 32, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, are back to making headlines together after several years. The former couple were seen under the same roof at the Met Gala on May 5.

Around a decade after their breakup, their fans went crazy on social media seeing them come across each other. However, they did not interact or have any conversation.

BuzzFeed reported how the Wrecking Ball singer might have chosen to ignore her ex-boyfriend at the event. On the other hand, she might not have spotted Schwarzenegger in the crowd.

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger dated for around five months. They confirmed their dating rumors in November 2014 by kissing each other during a USC football game. After a few months, they went their separate ways in April 2015.

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger's relationship explored

Even before dating, Patrick expressed his admiration for his former beau during a conversation with Details Magazine in May 2011. Responding to questions about his dating life, he shared,

"My eye, though, is set on Miley."

An insider told US Magazine that they had mutual friends, and these friends likely facilitated their connection.

"They have been friends for a long time. They have a ton of common friends so they have run in the same circles for years."

According to a People Magazine report, Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger faced a rough patch in their relationship in March 2014. The White Lotus actor was caught physically close to his female friends in Mexico.

Soon, the unexpected picture sparked cheating rumors online. Patrick denied his murmurs, speculating he cheated on Miley Cyrus, his then-girlfriend. However, the incident caused chaos in their lives.

A source revealed to People Magazine,

"Miley is embarrassed about the photos and Patrick is devastated about that because he really cares about her. They’ve been talking and are going through a tough time. They’re trying to work this through."

The media tabloids and judgmental attention on their relationship disappointed The Staircase actor.

A source spoke to E! Online and said,

"He doesn't even know what to do with himself and just wants to hide from the world. He's had some of his friends around for support, but he's very down and upset. He hasn't cracked a smile or been able to think about anything except Miley. He's so embarrassed and knows he screwed up."

Soon, Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger were spotted together again in Los Angeles. According to an Entertainment Tonight report, they reunited for dinner at Kiwami Sushi.

Their shippers were elated seeing them together, making things work, sharing moments of PDA, after a whirlwind.

Despite putting in efforts to sort out the complexities and continue their loving bond, their attempts felt short.

An insider confirmed the outlet about the celebrity couple parting ways.

"It’s not a break. It’s done."

While the source did not reveal the exact reason leading to a tense moment in their relationship, they spoke about how the former lovebirds were in different life phases, walking on their distinct paths to success.

"They’re just in two different places in their lives – he’s in college and she’s focused on her music and career."
