Cody Simpson finally reveals why he and Miley Cyrus split up

Pop star-turned-Olympic hopeful, Cody Simpson, who had dated American pop sensation Miley Cyrus in 2019, revealed the reason they split. Initially, when the two parted ways in 2020, nobody was the wiser about the real reason for the break-up.

In fact, news outlets had reported that there had been no such incident to spark the split or act as a catalyst. Thus, two years down the lane, Simpson, who lives and practices full-time in Australia now, has revealed the real reason.

The pop superstar decided to turn to swimming in 2020, and the journey captivated fans. After all, Simpson turned his back on a highly successful music career to grind his way to the Olympics.

Simpson revealed that his relationship with Miley was one of the “compromises and sacrifices” he had to make. In order to chase his swimming comeback, Simpson had to move back to Australia and train there full time.

“It’s something that not everyone gets,” Cody expressed. He even shared how chasing his comeback “was part of the reason (he) had to end (his) past two previous relationships”.

Even though Simpson qualified for the Australian Olympic Swimming Trials in June 2020, he failed to qualify for the final. Now, he has his sights set on the Paris Olympics 2024.

Cody reveals how he put training over any personal relationships

Cody revealed how he knew he had to dedicate his entire life to swimming if he wanted to make it to the Olympics. Thus, it also made him have to break off his past two romantic relationships.

Simpson revealed how he began his training towards the end of his relationship with Miley Cyrus. “It put me on a path where I realized I was going to go back to Australia if I was going to do it proper,” he explained.

“I saw all these realizations that maybe it’s time to turn the page in a chapter,” the Olympic-hopeful expressed. “It was one of those things, too, where it can be difficult to maintain a personal relationship,” the 25-year-old explained.

“When you just don’t have time, and any time you’re not training, you just want to be in bed asleep”. Thus, it goes to show how there is no stone Simpson is willing to leave unturned in the pursuit of his Olympic dreams.
