Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both gained an enormous fan base while starring in their Disney Channel shows. It wasn't too clear if Cyrus and Gomez were friends or had a feud going on with each other.
Gomez was normally seen hanging out with her childhood best friend, Demi Lovato rather than Cyrus. But so much time has passed since the two went on to do much more with their careers and fans got a little insight into how the two truly feel about each other.
Selena Gomez And Miley Cyrus' Days On Disney Together
One of the main reasons why fans were sure the two didn't get along was because of Nick Jonas. Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas dated from 2006 to 2008. Around 2009-2010, Selena Gomez started dating Jonas after he and Cyrus broke up. Gomez was even featured in the music video for the hit song, Burnin Up by The Jonas Brothers.
But after Gomez and Jonas also broke up it seemed like Cyrus could relate to how Gomez was feeling. During Cyrus' performance of her song, 7 Things at the Teen Choice Awards, she went up to Gomez and the two sang a line together. The song is confirmed to be about Jonas. Cyrus also posted a throwback of this video on her Instagram. Gomez commented, "TBT- such babies".
Cyrus and Gomez not only have that in common, but they also bond over their Disney Channel days. The two have practically grown up with each other in the same type of spotlight. Both Cyrus and Gomez are turning 30 in 2022, so while it was clear the two were not the best of friends during their Disney days, they have certainly decided to move past anything in the past and are totally cool with each other now.
