A representative for the singer said Saturday the pair decided a break was best while they focus on themselves and their careers.

Cyrus and Hemsworth have been together on-and-off for more than a decade.

They married in December.

The representative said the pair will remain "dedicated parents to all of their animals they share." They requested privacy.

The entertainers both starred in the 2010 romantic drama "The Last Song."

The split was first reported Saturday by People magazine.
