Cyrus: 'Exes don't compare to Hemsworth'

Miley Cyrus has claimed that Liam Hemsworth is her "first serious boyfriend".

The actress confirmed that she is dating her Last Song co-star earlier this month.

She has now told Parade that she wasn't ready for her two-year relationship with Nick Jonas.

"Nick and I were so young," she said. "We really did have a genuine love, but it wasn't like this. We met when I was 12. I didn't know who I was. I know who I am now and am so content and full of purpose."

Cyrus also explained that she struggled after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston.

"He was a good person, so carefree," she revealed. "All I know is that I am so happy right now. I wasn't last summer after I called it off with Justin and went away to film The Last Song. I cried all the way there.

"The last thing I was expecting to do was to fall in love. I went there thinking the summer was about me and getting focused on my career. But I guess God was like, 'Girl, here is this amazing guy'."
