The "No Hard Feelings" actress revealed it was a “total rumour. We all know we only kissed one time and it was years after they broke up so I just assumed that was a coincidence.” In 2015 Jennifer revealed to Andy that she had kissed Liam off camera, she added “Liam and I grew up together. Liam’s real hot. What would you have done?”

In Miley’s music video for ‘Flowers’ she is seen strutting around the Hollywood Hills wearing a gold Saint Laurent's dress. Fans were quick to point out it was similar to the Prabal Gurung gown that Jennifer wore to the LA premiere of The Hunger Games in 2012. Jennifer and Liam played love interest Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne in the movie franchise between 2012 to 2015.
