Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus‘s marriage appears to be over.
Per documents obtained by PEOPLE, the Australian actor, 29, filed for divorce from the pop star, 26, in Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 21, 2019.
According to The Blast, Hemsworth — who has hired famed Hollywood divorce attorney Laura Wasser — cited “irreconcilable differences.”
Hemsworth’s filing comes just weeks after the pair revealed they had separated. On Aug. 10, a rep for Cyrus confirmed to PEOPLE in a statement that the couple had split after seven months of marriage.
“Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” the statement read. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.”
However, a source told PEOPLE the two had already been apart for months.
Days after Cyrus’s announcement, Hemsworth broke his silence on Instagram, posting a photo of a sunset with the caption: “Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.”
Cyrus and Hemsworth met when they were teenagers on the set of The Last Song in 2009. They dated on and off for nearly 10 years before they tied the knot on Dec. 23, 2018, at her family’s home in Franklin, Tennessee.
According to multiple sources, the couple clashed over Cyrus’s unconventional views of marriage and Hemsworth’s partying.
Last Friday, Cyrus seemed to allude to their crumbling relationship when she released her new heartbreak track “Slide Away,” which features the scorching lyrics: “I want my house in the hills / Don’t want the whiskey and pills / I don’t give up easily / But I don’t think I’m down.” An insider told PEOPLE the song is not meant as a diss track but rather Cyrus’s way of dealing with the split.
