Miley CyrusandLiam Hemsworthlearned firsthand that loss makes the heart grow fonder.
The coupleappear to have gotten married this past weekend, just a little more thana month after they lost the Malibu homethey shared together in thedevastating California wildfires.
The most recent round of wedding rumors started after theirfriend Conrad Jack Carrposted a video of the actor, 28, and his brothers Chris and Luke doing a “shotski,” with Mr. and Mrs. balloons in the background. Another photo shows Cyrus, 26, and Hemsworth — dressed in traditional white and a tux — in front of cake and cupcakes, with the singer’s mom Tish in the frame.

Reps for both stars did not immediately reply to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
On Nov. 12, Cyrus — who recently released“Nothing Breaks Like a Heart,”a new collaboration with Mark Ronson— revealed on SiruisXM’sHoward Stern Showthat the tragedy of losing their home prompted her to start calling her longtime love her “survival partner.”
“Liam, I’ve never loved him more for this,” Cyrus told the host. “I call him my survival partner now. He thinks it’s not romantic, but I learned that it is. It is why you pair up with someone, for survival. He was so incredible — he got all the animals out in his truck. He put two pigs in crates, which I tell you is so hard.”
The “Wrecking Ball” singer then went on to explain how Hemsworth accomplished the daunting task of getting their pet pigs out of harm’s way in time.
“He said, ‘The only thing I could do was get a really powerful hose and spray them in the ass,’ ” she said. “So he just chased the pigs into the crate, which was genius.”

At the time of the fires, Cyrus wasn’t home because she was filming in South Africa. As a result, her entire song-writing book — in which she jotted down lyrics while in the car — was destroyed along with her extensive collection of cheap wigs, and herElvis Presleyshrine.
As to why Hemsworth didn’t save her song-writing book, Cyrus said that besides their animals, he only ended up grabbing his camera and his laptop.

“The one thing good about that was I actually had a lot of physical pictures that obviously [if] you lose, it’s really hard,” she said. “So I’m glad he grabbed the computer with the cameras.”
All of Hemsworth’s efforts during the fires weren’t in vain as Cyrus said she made sure “he knew I was very, very grateful.”
“He got a lot of action for saving the animals,” she joked to Stern.

“Happy birthday to my sweet girl,” he wrote on Nov. 23. “You’re more precious than ever. So thankful to have you in my life.”
After the fire, Cyrus and Hemsworthreturned to their destroyed home, where they found nothing left standing aside from the concrete letters “L-O-V-E” they had near their front door.
“That’s literally and physically all that’s left, so I felt that that was really poetic. You can always rebuild a physical structure, but that love that can’t be destroyed is always there and always stays strong,” Cyrus said in anOn Air with Ryan Seacrestinterviewaired at the beginning of December. “That’s been something that gave me a lot of light at a dark time.”

Hemsworth also opened up about the fire in a moving Instagram post a few weeks earlier.
“It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love,” he began the lengthy caption that accompanies a striking image of the concrete letters.
Cyrus and Hemsworth’s sweet, apparent nuptials come after a rocky,on-again,off-again relationshipbetween the two. She and the Australian actor dated for years before heproposed in 2012. The two ended their engagement andbroke up a year later.
