A new twist has emerged after Miley Cyrus is said to have slated her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in her new single, Flowers.

Some fans online have become convinced that Liam’s current girlfriend, Australian model Gabriella Brooks, was once one of Miley’s backup dancers.

Resurfaced images show a woman resembling Brooks appearing on stage with Miley at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball in London in June 2014, where the American pop star performed hits from her album, Bangerz.

Online sleuths on Twitter and TikTok are convinced the lithe backup dancer and the model are one and the same, pointing to similar freckles and moles both women have on their arms.

Brooks, 26, reportedly lived in London during that period, and would have been 17 or 18 years old at the time.

However, there is no concrete proof that the woman in the photos is in fact Gabriella.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Gabriella Brooks for comment.

Australian actor Liam, 33, has been dating Gabriella since 2019 and have kept their romance largely private.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, rarely post about each other on social media, and have only appeared in a handful of photos together.

The pair shut down split rumours on numerous occasions, even making their first red carpet appearance in November 2020.

Cyrus, 30, released her new single Flowers on ex Liam’s 33rd birthday on January 13, leaving many to believe it was a jab at the Hunger Games actor.

With lyrics such as ‘We were good, we were gold, kind of dream that can’t be sold’, it’s no surprise that many believe the song is referencing her failed marriage to Liam.

She also references the Australian star’s sudden act of filing for divorce by singing, ‘I didn’t want to leave you / I didn’t wanna lie / Started to cry.’

At the time it was believed that Miley wanted to work on their 10-year on-again/off-again relationship and was shocked by Liam suddenly filing for divorce in 2019.

The pair were together for nearly a decade and married for one.

The track is soaring to the top of the charts, becoming Miley’s third official UK Number 1 single, as well as debuting at the top of Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart.

Cyrus’s Flowers also broke the Spotify record for most-streamed song in a single week.
