Liam Hemsworth wishes Miley Cyrus 'nothing but health and happiness' following shock split

Liam Hemsworth has nothing but good wishes for his estranged wife Miley Cyrus following their split after just seven months of marriage.

A representative for The Hunger Games star and the Mother's Daughter hitmaker told E! News on Saturday the couple had parted ways to "focus on themselves and careers", and Liam reportedly told Daily Mail Australia on Monday he "doesn't want to talk about" the separation.

However, the 29-year-old broke his silence on social media on Tuesday when he slammed the authenticity of the quotes on Instagram.

"Hi all," he captioned a snap of the shoreline at sunrise. "Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.

"This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets. Any reported quotes attributed to me are false."

The star signed off the message: "Peace and Love."

Miley and Liam exchanged vows at their home in Nashville, Tennessee on 23 December, after dating on and off for 10 years.

While the Australian star has kept his head down while spending time with his actor brother Chris in his home country during the turbulent time in his personal life, the Wrecking Ball hitmaker has been making headlines after she was spotted kissing Brody Jenner's ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter on a girls' trip to Italy - the day after the split was announced.
