The two shared time together while touring with their siblings, participating in the film and its promotion. In a TikTok video from January, where she was driving with her friend while the Jonas Brothers’ song "Lovebug" played, Cyrus responded to a comment about her youthful crush on Jonas, stating, "oh I was in loooovvveee with frankie. during ponyo and on tour w our siblings it was ONNNN."

Fans seem to retain a sense of nostalgia for the duo; one commenter expressed that they believed Cyrus and Jonas could have become a well-known couple given their history. This acknowledgment of her past affection captures a light-hearted aspect of their early career days.

In her recent career developments, Cyrus is preparing for the release of her second album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me, set for 2025. She spoke about her journey in a cover story, highlighting her struggles with addiction and the ongoing process of self-discovery: "I’m at a place in my life where I don’t think that people really know this part of who I am."

Meanwhile, Frankie Jonas has also faced his challenges, revealing his struggles with addiction. He released his debut extended play, Sewer Rat, in June 2023, illustrating personal growth and resilience.

As they both navigate their respective journeys in the music industry, Cyrus and Jonas carry with them memories of their shared past, reminding fans of their early collaboration and the bond that formed during their childhood.
