Cyrus has since opened up about their connection, revealing they met while filming the 2022 movie "Christmas in Paradise" on the Caribbean island of Nevis.

"We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there," he said during an interview with on Apple Music Country's "The Ty Bentli Show." "We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot."

He added, "The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different."
