Though Miley Cyrus always insisted that she and Nick Jonas (the cutest of the Jonas brothers) were "just friends," the Hannah Montana star is finally coming forward with the truth about their relationship. Though it may not be news to us, what is interesting is the timing - Nick is now reportedly dating Selena Gomez, and unless you've been living in a cave for the past few weeks, you know that Miley and Selena totally like, aren't BFFs.

In the September issue of Seventeen, the 15-year-old pop phenom says, "We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, 'I think you're beautiful and I really like you.' And I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.'"

And do teenagers know what love is? Apparently so! Miley says, "Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7." It seems like a certain Disney princess wants another Disney princess to know that she had the cutest Jonas brother first - sloppy seconds alert!

The popsters broke up in late 2007, and Miley tells the mag, "At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights – and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now – I don't want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am. Since [the breakup], I've realized that I've met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have. No one can touch me, no one's mine. I'm myself. I think it's sexy to do your own thing."

We're curious to see how long this whole single thing lasts...and we wonder who Miley will be singing duets with next. Think she'll pull a Hayden down the road and go for a much older man?
