Miley Cyrus may be getting friendly with ex-fiancé Liam Hemsworth, however, it isn't stopping the "Wrecking Ball" singer's ex Patrick Schwarzenegger from desperately trying to win her back.
Hollywood Life reports that now that Cyrus, 22, is trying to move past her four-month relationship with Schwarzenegger, 21, after he reportedly cheated on her during a wild trip to Mexico on Spring Break, Schwarzenegger is more determined than ever to win the songstress back, telling friends that he's still in love with her.
A source close to the student reveals that he is still "very much in love" with Cyrus, adding, "If he could have her back, he would in a heartbeat. He's been reaching out to her, even sending her texts of cute animal videos, but she's not biting the bait. She's not responding in the way he would like her to."
Rather, Cyrus is spending time with close friends, most recently at this year's Met Gala, in addition to reports that allege Cyrus is back spending time with ex Hemsworth following her split from Schwarzenegger.
"It all comes down to maturity. Miley is an old soul, beyond her years, and she probably needs to be with someone older and more established. Patrick is a college student. Even when he was dating Miley, he would be torn between his life as a student and hanging with his buddies versus being part of Miley's superstar world."
The news comes only days after Cyrus was reportedly spotting having dinner with ex Hemsworth following her split from the USC student.
A source close to Cyrus reports that she and Hemsworth have "been hanging out in LA but only a few people know," adding, "dating could definitely happen. Even while she was dating Patrick--who was the first serious boyfriend to follow Liam--Miley could not stop reaching out to Liam."
According to sources who saw the couple out to dinner at the Soho House in West Hollywood, onlookers noted that their meeting "looked like a date."
Meanwhile, an insider close to Hemsworth reports, "He has rough stories about that relationship, but he always talks about how fun she was to hang out with and their great chemistry."
Do you think Cyrus should give Schwarzenegger another chance?
