After dating for 3 years, superstars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged!

The two met when they co-starred together on the film The Last Song in 2009. 19-year-old Miley told People:

“I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam.”

Liam proposed on May 31 with a 3.5 carat diamond ring from Neil Lane. Hey, I wonder if Liam had to ask ol’ Billy Ray for her hand in marriage?

Congrats to Miley and Liam!

First off I love how this says they have been dating for three years. They have broken up a couple of times since 2009 so it hasn’t been three years, more like 2. Second she is wayyyyy too young. Good luck to them though. They are going to need it

  Just because you were married young and it worked out doesn’t mean that it will for everyone. Your personal experience of getting married young and staying married does not negate the fact that people who marry under the age of 25 are much more likely to be divorced. Not to mention that celebrities of any age have trouble maintaining marriages and Miley Cyrus has always struck me as particularly immature (even by celebrity standards).
  
  Still, I have nothing against her and if she is happy, that is wonderful for her.

Well, congrats! But I agree way to young, at least I find. Theres an incredibly high divorce rate for young couples, I’ve heard. BUT I’m sure there are a lot who are happily married and have been together for years and more to come.

She is not too young! I married my husband when I was 19 and he was 18. We have been married for 5 years and going strong. I agree with Hanna, marriage does not have to happen at a certain age. When you know, you know. I’m happy for them. All the best.

I’m not married, but I do agree that age means nothing when it comes to living a long, happy marriage. My grandparents married at 17 and they have been married for 60+ years. I think they are the cutest couple ever and wish them a lifetime full of happiness! Congrats!

May seem young for most. And the divorce rate IS high. I have been with my bf since I was 16 and am now 23, but dont plan on marrying anytime soon! I just hate seeing young people getting married right out of HS, or before their even in college. If you really love eachother and all you wanna do is get married, do it, there isnt anything wrong with that. But it still IS way to young.

They’re just engaged, not married yet. How do you know they haven’t decided to wait a few years before actually tying the knot?

I met my soon to be husband(we r getting marry by the end of the month) when i was 18. Dated for a year and brokeup and after a year got back together and im now 25 about to be marry him. He is 4 years older than me.
He love and respect each other and we always knew in our hearts we were made for each other so when we were apart the love never went away. So i dont think they are too young, they both seem very mature for their age. The best of luck to them.

I don’t think ages matters, it is where you are in your life, if you have had the life experineces you need to be ready to be married, and you share like goals and values. Both parties have to be on the same level or it won’t work.
I do hope it is a longer engagement. Miley worked so much during her teen years, it would be nice to see her have a few years to develop outside of the spotlight before she settles down in marriage.
Gwyn

I don’t think she’s too young. Usually I would say don’t get married that young, but she’s not exactly your typical19 year old. She’s been working since she was 11, and is independent and successful. I bet what she values most is having her family close to her, and if he’s become like family then why not?
Also she’s just engaged, not married.

I think this is a mistake a lot of young people make.

Unfortunately all who say age doesn’t matter… Statistics show that it does. 70% of young marriages will have ended after 10 years. Sure, maybe your grandparents married at 17. That was 50 years ago. Maybe you got married at 19. If you’ve passed the 10 year marriage mark, congrats on not being another statistic. The problem with getting married young is there is still so much growing and maturing to do. Most people don’t even really know who they are, or they are just finding that out. Plus young adults seem to have no concept of the permanence of marriage. I hope they have a long engagement. Some people who are perfect for each other might get a divorce if they marry young but stay together for many, many years if they married in their mid- to late-twenties. Your relationship skills and ability to resolve conflict and compromise greatly increase in that time period.

I don’t think age really matters but this isn’t going to last!! Sorry

I don’t even think age is so much an issue here as is their jobs… they seem like a happy drama free couple which is something I can appreciate, but it seems like in Hollywood being a rising star vs. already having seen the majority of your success leads to issues. I didn’t love him in the Hunger Games movie, but it was a huge success and there are 2 more that will have him in it, so who knows what affect that will have on his popularity? And as for Miley, yes, she is quite successful in her own right but really what has she done lately? Not saying it won’t work, I hope it will because they seem for the most part like 2 nice kids but at the same time they are both a) young and b) in a business where it’s easy to get jealous of both your costars and your significant other’s career paths.
