Miley Cyrus Gets Away With a Pal as Patrick Schwarzenegger Stays Put

Miley Cyrus stepped out with BFF Cheyne Thomas in Northern California on Tuesday. The buds chatted during their stroll as Miley bared her midriff in a crop top beneath her oversize jacket. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Patrick Schwarzenegger, ran errands in LA looking clean-cut with combed hair and a groomed beard. Miley's getaway comes nearly a week after the couple hung out in LA. The lunch date marked one of the first times Miley and Patrick were spotted together since his controversial trip to Mexico, during which he got friendly with his ex and embraced a woman at a bar. Patrick soon defended himself on Twitter, saying, "Would NEVER do anything against my GF." Just this week, Miley's big sister, Brandi Cyrus, squashed speculation about their relationship, saying Patrick is good for Miley. "He takes everything [with Miley] so well and takes it in stride," she told People. "And I think they kind of balance each other out." Read on to see Miley's and Patrick's separate outings.
