Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus got engaged in June 2012 after three years of dating, but they called it quits in August 2013 and neither of them has spoken much about the split publicly.

Now, Liam was heard telling his friends they would “always be best friends” and they had “an instantaneous and powerful connection.”

The New York Post reports that The Hunger Games star was talking about his ex-fiancée at a restaurant in Portofino, Italy, last week.

A source said: “Liam kept raving about how amazing she was, how much they clicked and understood everything about each other. He also said they bought a lot of furniture but he had to leave it behind when they broke up and he got his new place, which was furnished.”

Earlier this year, Miley revealed she was feeling fine following their split.

“When I went through a really intense breakup – you know, I was engaged – and when I was with him or when I was on Disney, the thing that gave me the most anxiety was not knowing what to do with myself when Disney wasn’t there to carry me anymore or if I didn’t have him. And now I’m free of both of those things, and I’m fine,” she said.
