People reports that the couple actually separated a few weeks ago, but the news broke on Thursday, just before Cyrus released her new single "Midnight Sky." In a very cute move, Simpson congratulated Cyrus on the release of her new song, writing on her Instagram Story, "So proud of you. Congratulations to the most special person."

Speaking of "Midnight Sky": according to a press release, Cyrus directed the video herself, drawing inspiration from "strong female music icons" including Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, and Joan Jett. The song was "inspired by this past year of her life," the release continues. The video shows Miley for who she is: outspoken, diverse, sexy, confident, experimental, and strong."

As Official Charts reports (opens in new tab), speaking to Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Cyrus explained why she prefers to release individual singles over complete records." I feel something. I experience it. I write it. I release it. A lot of times when you write a record, you're writing about your experience, and by the time the record comes out, you've evolved beyond that experience," she said.

Cyrus added that she sought to regain control of her own story, telling Lowe 'Because throughout my career, my story has often been told through public perception. I want to reclaim that power. I think a lot of women are doing that right now."
