Back in 2007, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas shared a young romance that captured the hearts of Disney fans everywhere. Nearly 20 years later, Miley opened up about why their relationship ended, giving fans a glimpse into the struggles of young love under the spotlight. Her recent conversation during the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special on Disney+ revealed the emotional highs and lows of their teenage years together. From tours to heartbreak, Miley got candid about how it all unfolded. This story goes beyond nostalgia it shows the real feelings behind a teenage Disney romance.
What Miley Said About the Nick Jonas Breakup
Miley, only 14 at the time, and Nick, 13, kept their relationship private because of Disney rules. By 2007, during her massive Best of Both Worlds Tour, things started to get complicated. Miley revealed that she told her team, "I did not want to leave my boyfriend." To keep Nick close, the Jonas Brothers opened for her tour.
The breakup happened when Nick chose to focus on his band instead of joining Miley’s shows. Miley felt left behind and emotional. On the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, hosted by Alex Cooper, she shared that she cried a lot and felt lost without him. In a 2025 podcast, she added that she was "distraught," saying, "I sobbed, couldn't eat." Nick needed space to focus on his music, leaving Miley wondering why they couldn’t tour together.

The Hidden Love Story of Miley and Nick
Miley and Nick started dating in 2006. She was Hannah Montana, he was in the Jonas Brothers, and public displays of affection were out of the question. Miley later described Nick as her "first love." They shared a commercial shoot before their split, and Miley even dyed her hair dark afterward in rebellion. They briefly collaborated again in 2009 on "Before the Storm," but it didn’t last.
Nick largely stayed quiet about their relationship but later wrote "Wedding Bells" when Miley got engaged to Liam Hemsworth. Today, Nick is married to Priyanka Chopra, and Miley says they’re on good terms. "I like Nick. I'm into him," she laughed in a 2025 interview.
Why Miley Pushed for the Jonas Brothers on Tour
Miley revealed in the 2026 special that she insisted the Jonas Brothers open her Best of Both Worlds Tour so Nick could stay close. The tour gave fans a chance to see the young stars together and helped launch the Jonas Brothers’ career. Miley pushed for it because, as a 14-year-old, she didn’t want to be apart from Nick during such a pivotal time in her life.
When Nick later had commitments with his own band, he chose to focus on his music career instead of staying on Miley’s tour. While it was a smart move professionally, it left Miley feeling abandoned and heartbroken. Looking back, she described it as a painful lesson in balancing love and ambition at a young age.
