New York City, NY – June 30, 2023 – After nearly a decade of calling New York City home, pop superstar Miley Cyrus has officially bid adieu to her Manhattan apartment.
The “Wrecking Ball” singer, who has maintained a residence in the bustling metropolis since her days starring on the hit Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” was spotted earlier this week loading up the last of her belongings into a fleet of moving trucks outside her plush Tribeca high-rise.
“It’s the end of an era,” Cyrus shared in an emotional Instagram post announcing her departure. “This apartment has been my NYC sanctuary for so many years, but the time has come for me to start a new chapter.”
The 30-year-old entertainer, who has split her time between the East and West Coasts for much of her adult life, is rumored to be relocating to her primary home base in Malibu, California, as she focuses on her burgeoning music career and philanthropic initiatives.
“Miley has always had a special connection to New York City, but as she’s gotten older, she’s really found her center and sense of purpose out in California,” said entertainment journalist Lila Wilcox. “It makes sense that she would want to consolidate her living situation and devote more time to her work and personal life on the West Coast.”
Cyrus’ decision to part ways with her Manhattan abode also comes on the heels of her highly publicized split from longtime boyfriend Liam Hemsworth last year, a breakup that sources say deeply affected the singer’s relationship with the bustling city.
“New York will always hold a special place in Miley’s heart, but it’s also become intertwined with a lot of painful memories for her,” Wilcox explained. “Moving out of that apartment is probably a way for her to truly close that chapter and focus on the future.”
As Cyrus prepares to embark on the next phase of her life and career, her loyal legion of fans have flocked to social media to express their bittersweet reactions to the pop star’s departure from the Big Apple.
“Miley, you’ll always be a New Yorker at heart!” gushed one follower on Twitter. “This city won’t be the same without you.”
Another fan chimed in on Instagram, writing: “Wherever you go, Miley, know that you have a home in our hearts. We’ll miss seeing you around the city!”
For Cyrus, the move represents yet another milestone in her remarkable journey from child star to globally renowned entertainer. And while the singer is undoubtedly excited for what the future holds, there’s no doubt that she’ll carry the memories of her time in New York City with her always.
“This apartment has seen me through so much – the highs, the lows, and everything in between,” Cyrus reflected in her farewell post. “But I’m ready to write the next chapter. Onward and upward!”
