Miley Cyrus tweets 'egg-cellent' response to Liam Hemsworth baby rumours

Miley Cyrus has shut down rumours that she is expecting her first child with husband Liam Hemsworth, pleading for everyone to “leave her alone”.

Australian media reported the Nothing Breaks Like A Heart singer was pregnant with a baby girl just weeks after tying the knot.

But Cyrus dispelled all speculation by making reference to the popular egg image which became the most liked post in Instagram history this week.

Cyrus tweeted: “I’m not “ Egg-xpecting” but it’s “Egg-celent” to hear everyone is so “ Happy For Us” .... we’re happy for us too! “Egg-cited” for this next chapter in our lives....

“Now , can everyone leave me alone and go back to staring at an egg.”

The 26-year-old even photoshopped an image of the viral egg onto her midriff to drive her point home.

A source claimed to OK! Australia that the pair had found out they were expecting a baby shortly after losing their home in the California wildfires.

The pair, who wed in December, recently celebrated Hemsworth’s birthday for the first time as a married couple.

Cyrus posted an open letter to her spouse on Instagram, calling him her “favourite dude” and listing all the things she loves about him .

Cyrus and Hemsworth met on the set of The Last Song in 2009. They dated for three years before splitting, only to rekindle their romance in 2015.
