MILEY CYRUS and Liam Hemsworth have separated after less than a year of marriage.

A representative for the singer said Saturday the pair decided a break was best while they focus on “themselves and careers.”

Cyrus and Hemsworth, who starred in “The Hunger Games” films, have been an on-and-off-again couple for more than a decade.

They married in December.

The representative said the pair will remain “dedicated parents to all of their animals they share.” They requested privacy.

The entertainers both starred in the 2010 romantic drama “The Last Song.”

Previously, Cyrus, 26, told Elle magazine for an interview in its August issue that she and Australian-born Hemsworth had a “unique” relationship.

“I’m in a hetero relationship,” Cyrus said. “But I still am very sexually attracted to women. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.”
