A representative for Cyrus says the couple decided a break was best while they focus on "themselves and careers" after less than a year of marriage.
Hemsworth, who starred in "The Hunger Games" films, and Cyrus have dated on and off for more than a decade. They married in December.
Fans will recall the pair first met in 2009 while filming "The Last Song."
The representative says the pair will remain "dedicated parents to all of their animals they share."

"Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time," a rep for the 26-year-old singer shared with E! in a statement Saturday.
Adding, "Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what's best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy."
Last month, rumors swirled online that the two decided to call it quits. However, Cyrus slammed the haters on social media while also celebrating hers and Hemsworth's milestone anniversary. And Cyrus shared an Instagram photo on Saturday sans her wedding ring before the announcement of the split.

Cyrus also touched on her "unique" and "complex" marriage with the "Hunger Games" star in an interview with Elle for its August 2019 issue — she was the cover star that month.
"I think it's very confusing to people that I'm married," the 26-year-old singer shared. "But my relationship is unique... And I don't know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it's so complex, and modern, and new that I don't think we're in a place where people would get it. I mean, do people really think that I'm at home in a f--king apron cooking dinner?"
She continued, "I'm in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women. People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f--king good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don't fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don't even like that word."
Fans of the pair know they've had some bumps in their romance over the years. The two were on-again, off-again before Hemsworth proposed in 2012. They called off their engagement a year later and reconciled their relationship in 2015.
