Liam Hemsworth Thanks Miley Cyrus for Going to ‘Isn’t It Romantic’ Premiere Solo

Miley Cyrus stepped up for Liam Hemsworth tonight, representing her new husband at his Isn’t It Romantic premiere since he was dealing with health issues. (Hemsworth skipped the Sunday press day for the film because he was in the hospital.) The singer wore the most exquisite—and Valentine’s Day-esque—red ruffle Valentino gown on the red carpet:

Cyrus explained to Variety’s red carpet reporter why she went for Hemsworth tonight. Hemsworth is focusing on his health, she started. “He’s down. He’s not feeling well right now. He just had some health things, and I think that’s the most important—that entertainers, we have a really hard time taking care of ourselves because this movie is the most important thing to him so I had to be here to represent it.”

“And I’ve heard he’s just so funny in it, which I’ve always known,” she continued. “He’s the funniest person I’ve ever met, but not everyone else knows that so I think this is going to be an amazing step for him.” When Variety‘s reporter called her a good wife, being there despite his absence, Cyrus had a playful retort. “I already had the dress. Everyone thinks I’m here for Liam but I’m really here for Maison Valentino, yeah.”

On Instagram, Hemsworth gave his own update, thanking Cyrus for her support. “Sorry I couldn’t make it to the @isntitromantic premier tonight guys,” he wrote. “Been dealing with some pretty annoying health stuff the last couple days. Lucky I have the best girl in the world to represent for me! Thanks for the support babe! I hope everyone enjoys the movie! It’s a perfect Valentine’s Day flick so if ya ain’t got nothin better to do then go see it! Love to all!”

On both her Instagram and Twitter, Cyrus wrote about how proud she was of Hemsworth. “So proud of my hunky hubby @liamhemsworth & his newest movie #IsntItRomantic ❤️ He unfortunately wasn’t able to attend due to health reasons… but he is recovering and taking this time to rest / heal. It’s hard for entertainers to put themselves before the project but this time it was crucial …. I am proud to represent him and his incredible work. So happy to see him shining in this comedy! He is the funniest person I know , and the world now gets to see the Liam I wake up to every day…. luckiest 💋”

She also wrote a slightly more NSFW caption on a second Instagram to him. “Getting sick blows. But so do I. Get well soon babe. I love you. Play that sax you sexy fuck. ❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️”
