Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus dated for less than a year before they officially called it quits in 2020.
Now, New Idea is claiming that Cody Simpson and his parents are to blame.
A source claimed that Simpson struggled to focus on his relationship with Cyrus because he was stressed over his parents’ marriage. It was recently revealed that Brad and Angie Simpson have called it quits.
“There’s been a lot going on in Cody’s life that his fans didn’t know about. I think Brad and Angie’s marriage problems had a lot to do with why it didn’t work out with Miley. Like any divorce, it has torn the family apart,” the source said.

The insider added that Simpson’s dad was also sexually abused as a boy. And he only revealed his struggles to his family four years ago.
Brad’s secret life impacted his marriage, as well as his relationship with his children. And during a previous interview, he admitted that it has been tough for him and for everyone in his family.
“I made it so tough for Angie and somehow she stuck around,” Simpson’s dad previously said.

A source close to the Simpson family added that Angie has struggled a lot throughout the years. And Cody Simpson also had to endure a lot during his parents’ tumultuous marriage.
“Cody speaks to his mom all the time and the split has deeply affected him. It’s part of the reason he came back. He wanted to give swimming another crack, but he also wanted to be there to support his family,” the source said.
Miley Cyrus moves on with Zac Efron?
Meanwhile, the tabloid claimed that Simpson and Cyrus have already moved on from each other. In fact, the former child star is now setting her sights on Zac Efron, who is currently residing in Australia.
“She made no secret to the fact that she’s had a thing for Zac Efron for ages and now that he’s single again, she’s ready to pounce,” the source said.
As of late, Cody Simpson has not yet reacted to the rumors. And by the looks of it, he never will because they’re untrue.
