However, it appears that Jennifer had a brief fling with actor Liam Hemsworth shortly before she met her future husband, but she swears she’s not the reason his marriage to Miley Cyrus ended.

Since Jennifer and Liam worked so closely together on The Hunger Games movies, in which they played onscreen love interests, there was constantly speculation of a romantic connection between the two, despite Liam being on-and-off with Miley starting in 2009, only to marry in 2018.

“Not true,” J-Law said during an appearance on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, denying the speculation. “Total rumor.”

However, she did admit that they share an offscreen kiss once, though Jen says he was single at the time – and it clearly didn’t go far. “Liam and I grew up together. Liam’s real hot. What would you have done?” she reasoned.

Jennifer Lawrence may not be the reason Miley and Liam eventually called it quits for good, but there’s still a lot of fan curiosity over why the long-time couple divorced after less than a year later, despite a decade together.

Miley reflected on their short-lived relationship this January, explaining there was too much chaos between them for it to last. “There was too much conflict,” she said during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “When I come home, I want to be anchored by someone,” she explained. “I don’t get off on drama or fighting.”

“Me being an intense person and not wanting to sit with it and not wanting to go, you know, ‘What could be purposeful about this?’ I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him,” the singer continued “And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will.”

There have also been other theories floating around trying to explain Miley and Liam’s break-up, including the belief that Miley’s comments about not wanting to have kids due to climate change conflicts with Liam’s desire to have children of his own.

While Miley and Liam appear officially over, as the pair never reconciled following their abrupt 2019 divorce, at least fans can be sure that Jennifer Lawrence had nothing to do with the split.
