Still on good terms. Miley Cyrus got accolades for her recent performances alongside Shawn Mendes and Dolly Parton at the 2019 Grammy Awards, but her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas is not surprised that people are suddenly taking notice of her talent. “She’s a real singer,” Jonas, 26, gushed during an interview with brothers Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Chart radio show on Monday, March 4. “But we knew that ‘cause we grew up with her.” The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor continued: “We had a song with her back in the day called ‘Before the Storm,’ which is my favorite catalogue song of the Jonas Brothers. And at that point she was 16 and she was singing her ass off. So, it’s no surprise now that people are coming around to [her talent]. But “’m sitting around going, ‘Told you so.’” Kevin, 31, noted that Cyrus, 26, “sings her face off” in the Jonas Brothers duet, which was released on the trio’s 2009 album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times. Joe, 29, added that he loves “the stuff that she has come out with” recently. The “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” songstress started dating the “Jealous” crooner in June 2006 after they met at a charity event. Cyrus called Nick her “first love” and admitted in her book, Miles to Go, that their December 2007 breakup was “the hardest day ever.” The pair briefly reconnected in 2009, but Cyrus met her now-husband, Liam Hemsworth, on set of The Last Song, shortly after, and she and Nick went their separate ways for good. While their relationship was over, the former Scream Queens actor was upset to hear that Cyrus and the Hunger Games alum, 29, got engaged in June 2012 and wrote the JoBros’ song “Wedding Bells” about his emotions. The youngest member of the Jonas Brothers croons in the tune: “No, I don’t wanna love if it’s not you / I don’t wanna hear the wedding bells prove / That we can try one last time / I don’t wanna hear the wedding bells chime.” Cyrus and Hemsworth called off their engagement nearly a year after the trio performed “Wedding Bells” for the first time, but eventually reconciled and tied the knot in December 2018. Nick, for his part, married Priyanka Chopra Jonas that same month. The Jonas Brothers opened for the “Malibu” singer on her Best of Both Worlds tour, which began in October 2007, two months after they appeared on an episode of her Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana. The famous siblings, who recently reunited nearly six years after they split due to a “deep rift within the band,” were launched into international superstardom thanks to the exposure they received being associated with Cyrus.<doc-sep>Long ago, way back in the distant year of 2006, Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus fell in love. Their brief but dramatic romance was one for the ages: Cyrus had competed with fellow Disney Channel teen Selena Gomez for the youngest Jonas brother's affections, and won. She got to be Nick's first kiss! The two dated for more than a year, then broke up amidst cheating allegations on both sides. Cyrus penned the angsty Julia Stiles-inspired track "7 Things" about it. Both parties eventually moved on — Jonas is now married to Priyanka Chopra, Cyrus to Liam Hemsworth. Those two recent weddings have definitely got us nostalgic for the era of Camp Rock and Hannah Montana, especially with both Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers releasing new music this year. We might not be alone: Nick Jonas has revealed he still cares about Cyrus a lot, and looks back on their relationship fondly. During an interview on Apple Music's "Chart" radio show on Monday, Jonas talked about growing up with Miley and praised her vocal abilities. "We had a song with her back in the day called 'Before the Storm,' which is my favorite catalogue song of the Jonas Brothers," he recalled. "And at that point she was 16 and she was singing her ass off. So, it's no surprise now that people are coming around to [her talent]. But I'm sitting around going, 'Told you so.'" Cute! Cyrus also appears to be on good terms with her ex, and recently commented on one of Chopra's Instagram posts, too. ("Pretty! Love," she wrote). Weirdly, Chopra and Hemsworth were recent co-stars in Rebel Wilson's anti-romcom Isn't It Romantic?

Miley was even Nick’s first kiss! Now, they’ve both got massively successful careers and have found their true loves; Nick is married to actress Priyanka Chopra and Miley tied the knot with her longtime love, Liam Hemsworth, in December. Miley and Nick’s romance may not have lasted — they dated for about a year and split in 2007 — but their admiration for each other is obvious years later. According to Us Weekly, Nick sang Miley’s praises during a recent interview with Apple Music’s “Chart” radio show. “She’s a real singer,” Nick said of Miley. “But we knew that ‘cause we grew up with her.” Nick didn’t stop there, continuing to talk about just how talented his ex is. “We had a song with her back in the day called ‘Before the Storm,’ which is my favorite catalogue song of the Jonas Brothers,” he said. “And at that point she was 16 and she was singing her *ss off. So, it’s no surprise now that people are coming around to [her talent]. But I’m sitting around going, ‘Told you so.’” The admiration is mutual for Miley; recently, she joked about marrying a Jonas Brother (that’d be Nick) and she complimented Nick’s wife, Priyanka, on Instagram, and fans lost it. It’s worth noting that their partners, Priyanka and Liam, also star in Isn’t it Romantic?, which is a pretty funny coincidence. Clearly, Miley and Nick have nothing but love and respect for each other, and that makes our hearts so happy. Let us slide into your DMs. Sign up for the Teen Vogue daily email.
