Yesterday we reported that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth had ended their relationship. The pair made a splash both on-screen, as co-stars of the film The Last Song, and off. This was pretty much Miley's first "adult" (using the term loosely) relationship. It was with the Liam who Cyrus went through her rather significant image transformation, leaving behind Hannah Montana for the "Can't Be Tamed" in-your-face pre-adult that she is today.

Nobody knows what the future holds for Miley and her love life, but there might be some clues in the past. So join us, as we take a photographic journey through the several past loves of Miley Cyrus' life.

+ Nick Jonas: The Disney Duo. Miley's first real relationship was a very public and very popular one. Miley and Nick's union delighted fans of the Jonas Brothers and "Hannah Montana" everywhere. (Well, who are we kidding. It totally pissed off some Jonas Brothers fans who assumed the guys were waiting specifically for them alone.)  When Miley and Nick broke up, Miley said she "bawled for a month straight." The two have been rumored to still have feelings for one another.

+ Justin Gaston: Miley quickly realized the best revenge for her broken heart was simple: date an underwear model. The then-20-year-old Louisiana native Justin Gaston quickly swept Miley off her feet, to the point where she was making lascivious faces at the young man while he was modeling clothes on a catwalk. The two parted ways after nine months, when Cyrus went off to film The Last Song with...

+ Liam Hemsworth. And that brings us pretty much up to date. Cyrus and Hemsworth met while filming The Last Song. Miley was so inspired by her relationship that made a mini-career out of making pronouncements about the Internet, "Twilight" and pretty much anything else you could think of. She even proclaimed that she and Liam were "deeper than normal people." Miley even quit Twitter for Liam. And that's like the BIGGEST thing you could do for someone you love. With Miley and Liam over, maybe she'll jont Witter again? Maybe she'll get back together with Nick? Maybe Justin Gaston's not busy?...

Which of Miley's past boyfriends do you think was best for her? Let us know in the comments.
