What Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth's Body Language Says About Their Marriage
2) Liam can always be himself when he's with Miley. Okay, now things are looking up. When she sees this photo, Orbuch's eyes go straight for Miley's hand onno, clutchingLiam (a move you're about to see a lot). Apparently, it means "she's totally into him and he's all hers," says Orbuch, giving the affectionate advance her expert seal of approval. What's more, there's absolutely zero space between Liam and Miley's bodies. (Ugh, jealous.) The meaning? They're beyond bonded. And even though Liam isn't exactly beaming the way Miley is, his vibe tells Orbuch that he's super relaxed and comfortable with her. He doesn't have to play it up for the cameras because M's opinion is the only one that matters to him. Daww. Jason Merritt - Getty Images
3) When they're good, they're so good. Orbuch appreciates a casual and candid moment like this one. It proves Miley's grip on Liam isn't just something she does for the cameras. She relies on him and he walks tall to show her that she can depend on him, too. And check out those feet: They're stepping forward with the same foot in unison, which means they have the same priorities in life. According to Orbuch, they're both all in as long as they're happy, and when they're not, they'll go their separate ways (which happens for the first time a few months after this moment is snapped!!!)

4) Miley (literally) leans on Liam... Yet again, Miley seems to be doing the lovey-dovey heavy lifting here, but Liam's showing he cares in his own way, says Orbuch. How? Peep the way he's standing tall for Miley to pose up against him. And yeah, he isn't looking at her, but his smile for the photographers is a loud statement about how proud he is to be by Miley's side. Jon Kopaloff - Getty Images
5) ...And Liam loves being there for Miley. You know it's love when you're too preoccupied with your S.O. to look forward while you walk. In this moment, it's clearly worth running into a wall if it means Liam can look at Miley while guiding her through the backstage commotion. And though Orbuch would feel more secure if Miley and Liam were stepping forward with the same foot (again, it indicates that they have shared goals), she lets it slide because of those locked eyes, their handholding, and Liam's (dreamy) smile.

6) Miley wants everyone to know how proud she is of Liam. Even when they've reverted to their signature pose, Orbuch is able to pick up on some clues about this relationship. Miley's look to the side tells Orbuch that she's checking over her shoulder with pride and eyeing everyone who's peeping at her and Liam. She wants people to know that they're the real deal. Her M.O. is pretty spot-on, considering Liam (who has ~both~ feet pointing toward Miley this time) popped the question just a few months later. John Shearer - Getty Images
7) They truly only have eyes for each other. "This photo screams romance," says Orbuch. "They are gazing at each other with happiness and love." Just look at their locked faces and try not to smile yourself. And even though they're all dressed up and surrounded by cameras, Orbuch says "there's a different vibe in this photo." Liam, she says, is way more relaxed and not as stiff as he was at the start of their relationship. (Perhaps that's the result of all that independent growth Miley attested to.) The mutual head tilts and angled body positions confirms these two have found their groove and are ready for whatever ride life brings themsince they're finally, finally off their personal rollercoaster one.
