Miley Cyrus finally spills what everyone already knew — she and Nick Jonas dated for two years. The tween sensation opens up to Seventeen about their relationship.

In the Beginning: “We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.’”

What Went Wrong: “Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

The Breakup Post-Mortem: “At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights — and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now — I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I’ve got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am.

How She Feels Now: “Since [the breakup], I’ve realized that I’ve met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have. No one can touch me, no one’s mine. I’m myself. I think it’s sexy to do your own thing.”

A Future With Nick? “Maybe he’ll be my best friend for the rest of my life or maybe I’ll end up marrying Nick Jonas.”
