Rumors has it that Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger have been secretly dating for quite a while now, as insiders recently claimed that the two are in a consistent, fruitful, and healthy relationship.

Sources say that they've known each other for a long time now, and have a lot of mutual friends - that's how they met each other in the first place, and felt a strong emotional connection, and hence, they began dating.

Sources close to Miley have said, "They have been friends for a long time. They have a ton of common friends so they have run in the same circles for years. She thinks he's hot, she thinks he's cool. Patrick is a nice good guy. He's grown up in Hollywood just like her and it was only a matter of time before they [got together]."

Both have a lot of common interests, and lifestyles, so a long-term relationship is expected. They are also very passionate about helping each other reach their goals. They have both decided they want a calm and casual partner in their life for the time being. For now, they want to see how well this goes, and depending on the progress, they'll take steps. So it's a non-serious relationship.

According to Perez Hilton, "As for the seriousness of the relationship? Apparently it's not serious at all, and they're just 'seeing where it goes' for now! What do YOU think of these two? They're a totally HAWT couple, right?"

As it stands, the rumors about their relationship have not been confirmed.
