Cyrus: 'Justin brought me closer to God'

Rex Features

Miley Cyrus has claimed that her boyfriend Justin Gaston has brought her closer to God.

In an interview on The Rachael Ray Show, the 16-year-old revealed that Gaston made her read the Bible.

"I've never been closer to the Lord since I met him," she says. "He's really made me read my Bible. He's made me actually read the stories in the Bible - not the quick little verses - that not only help me, but show you how to help other people."

The Hannah Montana star also claimed that she wasn't keen on the model-turned-singer when her father, Billie Ray Cyrus, introduced him to her.

"Honestly, I didn't like him at first," she admits. "I was like, 'Great, another songwriter. This should be fun.'"
