Miley: 'I Bawled for a Month' Over Nick Jonas Breakup


In the words of that classic ditty, "young love, first love, filled with true devotion," or, in the case of Miley Cyrus, filled with hair dye, weeks of weeping and emotional confessions in a national magazine.

In an interview with Seventeen that she will probably look back on one day soon and cringe (a lot), the Disney powerhouse, 15, reveals all about her heretofore-unconfirmed romance with fellow teen idol Nick Jonas, 15.

"Nick and I loved each other," says Miley. "We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years, he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn't fun."


According to the toothy starlet, "We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was, like, 'I think you're beautiful and I really like you.' And I was, like, 'Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.'"

But their auspicious, hero's journey-like beginning didn't lead to a fairytale ending; they broke up at the end of 2007, a split that sent Cyrus' mood and mane into confusion.

"At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk," she recalls. "And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights -- and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was, like, I want to make my hair black now -- I don't want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core."

Continues Miley, seemingly without a breath, "I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was, like, I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am."

And while Jonas is now rumored to be dating Selena Gomez (more on that below), who's widely touted as Miley's successor to the squeaky-clean Disney teen queen throne, she believes their paths may once again cross.

"Maybe he'll be my best friend for the rest of my life," she daydreams, "or maybe I'll end up marrying Nick Jonas!"

These days, however, Billy Ray's little girl is happy to fly solo.

"Since [the split], I've realized that I've met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have," babbles Miley. "No one can touch me, no one's mine. I'm myself. I think it's sexy to do your own thing."

(Anyone else uncomfortable with the word "sexy" being tossed around by a 15-year-old? Thought so.)

As for Nick, he remains coy about his supposed coziness with Selena, who appears in the Jonas Brothers' "Burnin' Up" video.

"Well, she's an amazing girl, and anybody would be lucky to be dating her," he bobbed and weaved during a chat with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday.

When Ryan asked for more info, Jonas again deflected, saying, "Well, like I said, anybody would be lucky to be dating her. ... I think she is a part of our music video, and that is why all the rumors started. But yeah, she's a cool girl."
