Kaitlynn Carter Admits She Was In Love with Miley Cyrus, And It Wasn’t Just a Fling

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter delivered the PDA of the century this past summer when they were vacationing in Italy.

Photos of them making out went viral a couple days before news broke that Miley and Liam Hemsworth were splitting up.

Now, Kaitlynn is opening up publicly about their relationship in an essay for Elle, where she says she was deeply in love with Miley.

“This past July, I went on vacation with a female friend; the next thing I knew, I was in love with her,” she wrote. “It wasn’t quite that simple, of course. But it also wasn’t very complicated, either.”

She continued, “I fell just as hard for her as I had the older man so many years before. It was that same familiar force of nature; I didn’t have to think about a thing or overanalyze. It just happened and it felt exactly right. Reflecting back on our three-year friendship, I realized I’d always been drawn to her in a way I wasn’t with other friends, but until that trip it had never crossed my mind to think of her in a romantic sense.”

Kaitlynn goes on to share her struggle with discovering her sexuality, and encourages everyone to “take the time to understand who exactly their most authentic selves are, untethered from what we may have been taught to believe.”
