Miley Cyrus says Liam Hemsworth is the perfect boyfriend - because he listens to her.

The singer-and-actress - who recently rekindled her romance with the Australian actor after splitting from him last November following an 18-month relationship - knows Liam is the right man for her because he's always there to lend a sympathetic ear instead of telling her what to do.

Speaking to philSTAR.com, she said: "I think it's someone that is always there to listen and I think that's when people make mistakes because they always want to have the answers and I don't like people trying to fix me, I just like them being able to listen."

Miley, 18, insists she's never been happier and loves everything about her life.

She said: "Everything's great, I'm happy and there's nothing I can complain about. I'm performing and doing what I love and I have awesome people in my life so nothing can really go wrong."

Earlier this year, Miley hinted that she and Liam were back together and he would be joining her on her trip to his native Australia in June for her 'Gypsy Heart' tour.

She said during a recent interview on an Australian radio show: "I don't want to cross out the Australian boys but I may or may not be single ... I love Australian boys though obviously.

"Liam and I are very close, I'm not going to comment too much, but you guys don't have to worry about that ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."
