Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger started dating in 2014, but Schwarzenegger had his eye on Cyrus for at least three years before he got the chance to make a move on his celebrity crush. In an interview for Details back in 2011, Schwarzenegger was quoted as saying, "My eye ... is set on Miley" when asked about his dating life (via Us Weekly). The two were allegedly introduced by mutual friends, with a source telling Us Weekly, "They have a ton of common friends so they have run in the same circles for years." With Cyrus splitting from Hemsworth in 2013, the opportunity for a closer relationship with Schwarzenegger finally presented itself.
For a while, it seemed like Cyrus and Schwarzenegger were really happy together. TMZ even reported that the two were considering the idea of marriage! Cyrus gained the approval of her beau's family, and apparently still remains close to his father, famous actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (via ET Online). The pair hit a rough patch, though, when the younger Schwarzenegger was photographed looking extremely cozy with another woman while on vacation for spring break (via E! Online). Schwarzenegger swears the interaction was strictly platonic, but Cyrus clearly thought otherwise. The two tried to make it work before eventually parting ways in 2015 (via People).
