   Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger want you to know they’re dating

That solves the mystery: for the past couple of weeks, there’s been intense speculation that Miley Cyrus might have rekindled the romance with total cutie / aspiring model Patrick Schwarzenegger, best known to gossip lovers as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s (cutie) son.

Rumor first started making the rounds earlier this month, when she was photographed doing the walk of shame from his room, but because there were no other clues for the following days, many assumed they were just friends hanging out.

That might have been the case then, but they’re definitely together now.

Patrick took Miley as his date at the USC football game at the LA Coliseum a few hours ago, and they made it a point of not hiding that they’re a couple. Patrick is a USC student, by the way.

In celebrity-speak, staging such a photo-op is called “going public” and refers to that moment when two celebrities (or one celebrity and their non-famous partner) decide their relationship is strong enough to make it public knowledge.

For Miley, that didn’t take too long: she and Patrick were romantically linked on November 4 and more clues popped up online earlier this week, when they attended a Q&A for Maria Shriver’s new movie together.

Then again, they dated before in 2011, so they must have known what to expect from the other – and of them as a couple, which explains how little they took before going public.

This isn’t Patrick’s first high-profile relationship either: he was also linked to serial dater Taylor Swift for a while, but things didn’t get too far. According to reports, she killed the romance in the bud with her MO of getting too needy and clingy too early into the relationship, so he dumped her.

Miley is moving on from Liam Hemsworth

This is Miley’s first “official” boyfriend since the engagement with “Hunger Games” hottie Liam Hemsworth. She does have a type, doesn’t she?

The two fell in love and started dating during the production of “The Last Song” and were together on and off until 2012, when they shocked the world with their engagement announcement. They never set a wedding date though, or at the very least, they didn’t make it public.

Miley would occasionally joke about how she wanted several ceremonies, just so she could wear all the gowns she’d seen and loved until that date. She never got to wear one, because one year later, she and Liam were done.

Word has it that it was Liam who dumped her because he thought the reinvented Miley wasn’t the Miley he had met and fell for. This was right when she was taking leaps to move away from her Disney girl image, cut and dyed her hair, and lost most of her clothes both on stage and in her private life.

Let’s just hope that Patrick doesn’t have a problem with Miley’s rude image, or the cute photo-op in the gallery below will be the only one we’ll get from these two.
