Miley Cyrus Calls Liam Hemsworth Her 'Hubby'

Miley Cyrus covers the March issue of Cosmo magazine and she may have spilled the beans about a secret she's been keeping in the pages inside. Referring to Liam Hemsworth as her "hubby," did the two get married on Christmas after all?

According to a report from Hollywood Life, both Miley and Liam were spotted wearing rings that certainly looked like wedding bands on their left hand ring fingers after Christmas. The rumor back then was that the two tied the knot over the holiday.

After a while the rum

or sort of fizzled out and not much has been mentioned about it since then. In the March issue of Cosmopolitan, however, Miley drops a huge hint again.

"The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, 'I'm gonna faint - the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.' So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, 'Who's that? He is so hot!' That's my hubby!" she said during her Cosmo interview.

Was this simply a slip of the tongue or did Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth get married already? If so, why aren't they sharing their good news with their fans? Is there some fear that if it's known that Liam Hemsworth is a married man, he won't draw the ladies to The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire? Yes, that's a long shot--but why else would they keep their marriage a secret?

What do you think the real scoop is with Miley and Liam? Is she simply practicing calling Liam Hemsworth her "hubby" so when the big day comes she'll be ready for him to accept his new role?
