Reports of Miley Cyrus dating Mike Will Made It could mean the "Bangerz" artist has moved on from Liam Hemsworth; the couple is rumored to be together for at least nine months.

Secret relationships are almost non-existent in Hollywood, and anything that's keep under wraps is eventually discovered by the paparazzi without fail. It's surprising how Miley Cyrus and Mike Will Made It kept their dating relationship under the radar for so long, though.

Not only is the couple reportedly cozy with each other, sources claim even mom Tish Cyrus is keen on the long-standing relationship (nine months is an accomplishment in Hollywood).

Apart from her usual controversies and stunts, 21 year-old Miley's biggest surprise is a budding relationship with her 25 year-old producer. An insider told Us Weekly magazine: "Everybody in her circle knows they've been together this whole time," meaning they're nine months into a relationship.

Mike Will Made It produced most of the tracks in Miley's "Bangerz" album, also a music tour the singer jumpstarted in Vancouver February, to end in Australia October. It's easy enough to speculate how the possibility of Miley Cyrus dating Mike Will Made It took root.

It's even claimed the two are making the relationship work out, in spite of Miley's hectic music tour. They make it a point to "text and talk all day, every day," according to a source. Long-distance relationships don't last, especially between couples with busy, successful careers. Miley and Mike plans to make theirs last.

Miley is close to her mom Tish, and the latter's approval in the relationship says a lot about Mike's standing. The same source quoted Tish as confirming "he's part of the family," referring to Mike (hollywoodlife.com).

If the timeline is right and the couple is nine months together, then it's likely Miley Cyrus dating Mike Will Made It on the heels of her break-up with Liam Hemsworth, a rebound "Wrecking Ball" which budded into a serious relationship (nydailynews.com).
