Delving into the past, we explore the tumultuous friendship between “Hannah Montana” co-stars Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment. While they began as “sisters,” fame led to a falling out before the pair rekindled their bond.

Remember the good old Disney days when we adored the friendship between Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment in “Hannah Montana”? Even though the final episode aired back in 2011, the on-screen chemistry between the characters continues to hold a special place in our hearts. But, “we’re sisters now,” as Miley said back in 2008, doesn’t really sum up their off-screen relationship over the years.
“More Than Just Friends”
As reported by cheatsheet, the perfect on-screen friendship of Miley and Emily didn’t translate into their real lives. Miley, in her early days on the show, had a special place in her heart for Emily. The two were, as Miley told Seventeen in 2008, “really, really close…we’re sisters now.”

Rocky Roads Ahead
Things soon turned sour. With the escalating popularity of “Hannah Montana,” the close bond between the co-stars underwent trials and tribulations. In her autobiography “Miles To Go,” published in 2009, Miley pens, “Emily and I tried to be friends, we really did, but it always ended in a fight.” Miley questioned why they couldn’t replicate their on-screen harmony in their real lives.
Finding Their Way Back
Fast forward to 2013, the ex-co-stars expressed their desire to reconnect on Twitter, gradually mending their strained relationship. They kept in touch and frequently mentioned each other on social media. In March 2020, a decade after “Hannah Montana” ended, Miley and Emily reunited on Miley’s Instagram Live talk show, “Bright Minded: Live with Miley,” where they joyfully recalled their favorite memories on set.

Today, their relationship seems to have come full circle. They started off as best friends, faced a difficult period, but ultimately found their way back to each other. This is the saga of the real-life Hannah and Lily. Their friendship story is a testament to the phrase, “tough times don’t last, but tough friendships do.”
