Liam Hemsworth might be moving on following his split from Miley Cyrus [1] — so who's the new leading lady? It appears to be 22-year-old Dynasty [2] actress Maddison Brown, a fellow Australian who also starred in 2015's Strangerland and the series The Kettering Incident. Photos obtained by TMZ show Liam, 29, and Maddison holding hands [3] and enjoying a bite to eat at Italian restaurant Sant Ambroeus in NYC on Thursday.
The duo's romantic outing comes a week after Miley confirmed she's dating longtime friend Cody Simpson [4]. After photos of Miley and Cody kissing surfaced, the "Mother's Daughter" singer [5] took to Twitter to push back against critics, saying, "I have a great life I wouldn't trade for 'privacy' but PLEASE don't make this awkward for me! I am trying to make light and like always MAKE FUN of myself / and the public's perception of me! Get used to me dating — this is where I am at!"
In August, Liam and Miley's 10-year on-and-off relationship [6] came to an end as they announced their separation [7] after seven months of marriage [8]. "They have decided this is what's best while they both focus on themselves and careers," Miley's rep said in a statement [9]. Shortly after, Liam addressed the divorce [10] on Instagram, writing, "I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward."
