Miley Cyrus has been secretly dating her producer and rapper friend Mike Will Made It, it has been revealed by various publications. Not only has the 25-year-old producer won over the "Wrecking Ball" songstress, he is even liked by her mother Tish Cyrus equally. The two have been allegedly seeing each other since last nine months now and Miley's close friends are aware of this development.

"Everybody in her circle knows they've been together this whole time," a source close to Miley told US Weekly. Miley and Mike have been together since a long time and Mike is frequently seen in her Instagram pictures too. Take a look at one of their pictures here.

There is speculation in the media that Miley was dating Mike even when she was engaged to Liam Hemsworth and the two had not broken up. "Miley and Mike started dating either prior to the breakup, or immediately after," Hollywood Life reported adding that "Miley and Mike were even spotted making out at a Hollywood, Calif. nightclub in October."

Miley and her mother Tish were reportedly spotted "grinding all over [Mike Will Made-It], kissing his neck" during the release party of Miley Cyrus' latest album "Bangerz" in October 2013.

There are other reports that also suggest that Mike's hookup for Miley is a "no strings attached" relationship as Miley is still very much in love with "The Hunger Games" actor Liam. "Miley and Mike do hook up but it is not serious at all," a source revealed to the Web site.

"[Miley is] still way too hung up on Liam to fall in love with anyone else. Don't get me wrong, she's hooking up with guys, including Mike, but none of them have a place in her heart; that still belongs to Liam," the source added.

The source further revealed to the Web site that Mike is a "good guy" at heart who has always been there for Miley whenever she needed him. He likes the 21-year-old controversial songstress very much and would want to be her boyfriend but Miley does not see him as the one as she still is not over Liam Hemsworth, says the source.
