Australian singer Cody Simpson has candidly discussed his love life, revealing intimate details about his past relationships with high-profile celebrities Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Miley Cyrus. The 29-year-old artist, who recently embarked on a new romance with American influencer Adelia Clark, 32, just weeks after his split from Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon, shared these personal stories in a revealing podcast interview.
Early Romance with Kylie Jenner
Simpson recounted how he first met Kylie Jenner when he moved to Los Angeles at age 13 to pursue his music career. "The Twilight 3 Premiere, as I remember it," he said on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast. "Kylie and I met, I was probably 15. She may have been 14 or 15." He described how Jenner and her sister Kendall were interviewing celebrities on the red carpet, marking their early steps into the public eye through their family's reality television show.
"I think I asked Kylie for a number there or something, like we exchanged numbers and we started talking," Simpson continued. "It was young. I took her to the movies and we dated for about a year." He emphasized that their connection was built on shared experiences in unique circumstances, bonding through their unconventional upbringings in the entertainment industry.
First Love with Gigi Hadid
The singer then detailed his relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid, whom he described as his "first love." Simpson recalled spotting Hadid at a shopping centre when she had just begun her modelling career with a Guess billboard campaign. "She was a couple years older than I was," he noted. "So she was maybe 18, I was 16, so I thought she was like the hot older girl."
Simpson revealed an elaborate scheme to ask her out, fabricating a story about a music video to break the ice. "There was no music video," he admitted. "No plans for a video, the videos have all been shot." Despite the unconventional start, their relationship blossomed, with Hadid joining him on tour shortly after they began dating. "We were together for, on and off, about two years," Simpson said, citing demanding schedules and geographical distance as reasons for their eventual breakup between 2013 and 2015.
Connection with Miley Cyrus
Years later, Simpson developed a romantic relationship with Disney actress and singer Miley Cyrus. The pair had been friends since Simpson was 18, bonding over their shared experiences in teen pop stardom. "We connected and bonded through in a way, rebelling from being in that teen pop stardom thing," he explained.
Their friendship deepened during the COVID-19 lockdowns, eventually turning romantic following Cyrus's split from Liam Hemsworth. Simpson described how their relationship evolved as they both matured and embraced sobriety. "We were very much meant to be together at that time," he reflected, highlighting their mutual personal growth.
New Romance with Adelia Clark
Most recently, Simpson appears to have found new love with American influencer Adelia Clark. The couple was photographed strolling arm-in-arm outside a Los Angeles café, just two weeks after Simpson's split from Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon was confirmed.
Simpson's sister Alli addressed the breakup on The Morning Show, stating that her brother and McKeon had "moved on" from each other. "She is like sunshine in human form, so I'm just so happy they can move forward," Alli said, while emphasizing the couple's desire for privacy during this transitional period.
The relationship with McKeon, which began in April 2022, had shown signs of strain in recent months, with the couple appearing to lead increasingly separate lives. Their last public appearance together was in December at an Omega watch collection launch event where McKeon served as an ambassador.
Throughout his interview, Simpson provided rare insights into the challenges of dating while growing up in the spotlight, describing limited opportunities for normal social interactions during his homeschooled teenage years. His reflections offer a unique perspective on celebrity relationships and personal evolution within the entertainment industry.
