There’s no denying that Miley Cyrus has changed a lot in the last few years and especially after she got back with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. To put it bluntly, he’s more than just a great influence on her. She’s managed to clean up her act, focus on her priorities and stop making a fool out of herself in public. Usually when you fall in love you tend to do all of these things, but for Miley, it’s been the opposite.

With that being said, many of Miley’s fans can’t help but wonder if she and Liam are going to take their relationship to the next level. At this point it’s safe to say that he is definitely “the one” in her life. And while she has done a good job of teasing her fans about their engagement and wedding plans, she’s also been dropping some major hints that she is ready to get pregnant with Liam Hemsworth’s baby, too. For some critics, they think it’s only a matter of time before she makes the announcement we’ve all been waiting for.

With that being said, here are 15 times Miley Cyrus has acted like she’s pregnant or hinted that she wants to be pregnant. Check out our list below and let us know what you think!

16 Her Turkey Baby

During Thanksgiving of 2017, Miley Cyrus shared a photo of herself sporting what a lot of people thought was a baby bump. I mean, there was no denying that there was something going on in her mid-section, the only problem is no one knew she was having a food baby or a real baby.

Turns out that Miley just had too much stuffing during her Thanksgiving dinner. To make matters worse, she lashed out at her fans and her critics for even assuming that she looked pregnant. But with the way she was posing, it was obvious that she was teasing a possible pregnancy. Hate to break it to you Miley, but there’s no way you can get pregnant by eating too much turkey. We saw what you were doing there.

15 Pregnant And Married

During the summer of 2016, many gossip blogs and tabloid publications reported that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were secretly married and that they were also expecting a baby about it. The chart topper supposedly told all of her friends and family about the big news and was just waiting for the right moment to make the announcement.

Obviously, Miley wasn’t pregnant (because she would have had the baby by now) but as far as her secret marriage, we don’t know. Ever since she got back with Liam, she’s been very, very private about her personal life. She refuses to confirm or deny any rumors even though she loves to tease the public by dropping some major hints about what’s really going on. That’s why a lot of people tend to believe her pregnancy rumors, too.

14 Her Family Plans

At this point, it’s pretty clear that Miley Cyrus wants to plan her life with Liam Hemsworth. There’s no man on this planet that has managed to change Miley and influence her the way Liam has. To put it simply, she’s head-over-heels in love with him and she would jump through hoops of fire for him if she had to. We don’t know what kind of magic love potion Miley Cyrus has been drinking, but it sure has been working on her.

With that being said, Miley has admitted in interviews that she wants to have a family with Liam in the future. The only thing is, right now she doesn’t have an exact timeline as to when she wants to start having babies. But seeing how much she’s changed over the last several years, we wouldn’t be surprised if she shocked us all by settling down and becoming a mother before her 30th birthday.

13 Miley’s Large Family

Miley has said a few times that kids aren’t for her. She’s even hinted that she’s not the kind of person who would stop working and drop her career to start a family. Now, that’s not to say that she’s a selfish person (because her charity work proves the opposite), but that perhaps she’s still a young kid at heart.

Still, a lot of her fans have said that Miley might one day have a large family simply because she comes from a big one herself. She is very close with a lot of her brothers and sisters. What’s more, Liam Hemsworth is pretty close with his two brothers and his family back in Australia, too. There’s a strong possibility that once they start making babies, it might be one child after another!

12 Shotgun Wedding?

Up until this point, Miley Cyrus has not confirmed or denied that she is engaged and even married to Liam Hemsworth. Even though she talks like they are husband and wife and has even sported an engagement ring in public, she simply refuses to tell the truth. She wants everyone to keep on guessing about her marital status to the point that it will start making her fans go crazy.

And while there’s no confirmation that says Miley and Liam have tied the knot, many believe that she might have a baby before she gets married. If that does happen, don’t be surprised to see Miley Cyrus as a pregnant bride in her very own shotgun wedding. If she hasn’t sealed the deal already, she might just do it with a baby on the way.

11 Justin Bieber’s Baby

Back in 2015, Miley Cyrus was forced to deny the ludicrous, bizarre and insane rumor that she and Selena Gomez were both pregnant at the same time by none other than Justin Bieber. That’s right! Both Miley and Selena made gossip magazine headlines that said “Pregnant by the same man.” I mean, are gossip magazine editors really that bored that they have to stretch it out THIS far?

Miley shut down the rumors on her Instagram account but unfortunately, the media has been speculating about her supposed pregnancies for years now. No matter what she does or what she says, she just can't escape the pregnancy rumors. And for the record, Miley has never dated Justin either even though she’s defended her pal on numerous occasions. Plus, could you even imagine a Miley and Justin baby? OMG.

10 Young Mother In The Spotlight

While no one knows what Miley Cyrus is really planning for her future, a lot of people strongly believe that she will be a young mother and that she will get pregnant before her 30th birthday. And unlike other celebrities who love to show off their private and family lives on social media, Miley will be the complete opposite. That’s because she’s well aware of how dangerous it is to expose your family to the public, and especially as a celebrity.

She once said, “There's so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, 'I just heard someone say this or that about you,' and I just ignore it because it's irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that's all we need to focus on.”

9 She’s Even Changing Now

If there’s one thing that Miley Cyrus’ fans have noticed about her in the last two years, is that she’s changed her appearance completely. She’s no longer trying hard to shock with provocative clothing, wild dancing on the stage and pretending that she plays for both teams. I’m sure everyone remembers her music video for “Wrecking Ball,” right? All of that is in her past now. She’s even dressing more conservatively, has stopped coloring her hair (somewhat) and has adapted a more laid-back style. And to be completely honest, she’s never looked better.

Miley no longer feels the need to make headlines by doing outrageous stunts, too. And by the time she becomes a mother, she might slow down even more. We wouldn’t be surprised if she looked like a regular mom shopping at Target with her kids!

8 But Is Liam Ready For Kids?

Sure, we can spend all day talking about Miley Cyrus and whether or not she’s pregnant or even ready for kids. But what about Liam? As we all know, it takes two to tango! Miley might not get pregnant unless Liam is absolutely sure that he wants to be a father, too.

Plus, let’s not forget that both Miley and Liam are in their mid-twenties. At 26, Liam Hemsworth is in his prime when it comes to his career. He might have the same A-list goals and aspirations as his older brother, Chris Hemsworth. While he has said that he does want have children one day, it’s not something that he’s pushing for right now. Liam even said that he wants to start a family when the timing is right for both him and for Miley.

7 She Won’t Be An Insta-Mom

Miley Cyrus has lived in the spotlight all of her life. You can even say that she never really had a normal childhood because she’s been working in the entertainment industry for as long as she can remember. Her breakout role was on the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana back in the mid-2000’s. And while many stars have come and gone, Miley has managed to stay relevant until this very day.

Keeping in mind what kind of life she’s had so far, there’s a good possibility that she might not want to expose her future children to the celebrity world. In other words, she won’t be an Insta-mom. And she certainly won’t be using social media to teach the world about how to be a perfect parent, either. Miley isn’t the kind of person who would “brand” herself.

6 She Might Stay Home More

Once Miley gives birth to her first baby with Liam Hemsworth, she might end up staying home more. That, or we can definitely see her moving to Australia to be with Liam and his family. She will probably want to be as far away from the paparazzi and the intrusive media as possible.

Miley once said, “It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time, because if you make mistakes, then the whole world knows about it. Like, it's not just your family and friends, it is everyone. Sometimes I'll watch myself on TV and ask myself, What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, 'OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd.'"

5 She’ll Get Frustrated With The Mommy Wars

Breastfeeding versus bottle feeding. Natural birth versus C-section. Private school versus homeschooling. Cloth diapers versus regular, disposable diapers. It seems like mothers have an opinion for just about everything when it comes to how you should raise your child. Luckily, we don’t see Miley being in this same category. It’s just not in her nature to be competitive or to show off something that she’s got (unless it’s Liam!).

Plus, Miley is well aware of how jealousy in the celebrity world looks. There’s no way she will tolerate or want to become part of the mommy wars. She once said, “Anyone that hates on you is always below you, because they're just jealous of what you have.”

4 She’ll Be An Understanding Mom, Too

Miley Cyrus might not have had a traditional education and she might not have gone to college, but you can’t say that the girl isn’t smart. In fact, she’s known to have given some great life advice, despite her young age. Keeping that in mind, we have a feeling that she will be a very understanding and tolerant parent. That’s not to say that she’ll be a crunchy mom, but she won’t be one of those moms with high expectations, either.

One of Miley’s most memorable quotes is this one: “Beauty is the enemy. We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It's a battle that can't be won. There's no definition of beauty. The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it from inside without breaking down into individual physical attributes.”

3 She’s Realistic

For a lot of Miley’s critics, they are quite surprised that she’s gotten as far as she has without having a major public meltdown (I mean, we’ve seen it so many times from other celebrities, right?). For everything that she’s gone through in her life, she surprisingly has a good head on her shoulders. And she might have Liam to thank for it, too. He has helped shift her priorities in her life. She’s even more mature, if we can say it.

Miley once said, “You can't stop people from talking about you, but you can stop giving them something to talk about. I'm not really scared or insecure about anything because I'm used to people judging me. I'm used to people knocking me down, so I'm used to getting back up."

2 She Won’t Spoil Her Kids

While there are some celebrity moms who love to spoil their kids by buying them expensive designer clothes and the best toys that money can buy, Miley might not be one of them. Even though she will give her kids the world, she won’t be a materialistic mom. She’s not going to try and keep up with all of the celebrity moms who buy the best of the best for their kids. Don’t be surprised if she ends up buying all of her children’s clothes at Target and Wal Mart, too.

Miley once said, "When I was growing up, I didn't even notice that I started making all this money. There's something about new money that makes people change. But I never did not have [money]. So, when I got it, I didn't become obsessed with having it."

1 So What’s In Store For Miley Cyrus?

With the way she’s been operating lately, we have a feeling that Miley Cyrus won’t be making a huge pregnancy announcement in the future. That’s just not her style. She can have the biggest baby bump in the world but she’ll get offended when people will make assumptions about what she has in there. According to Miley, her business is her business, and no one else’s.

Still, we think she will be a fantastic parent. She has a lot to look forward to. Miley even said this in her own words: "The dreams that you hold for your future are what you dream about at night. They're always at the back of your mind. They're what your heart desires. They keep you going. Accept reality and have a backup plan, but always follow your dreams no matter what."
