Cody Simpson is dishing on what traits he finds attractive in women.

Talking about his relationship with Miley Cyrus, he can’t gush about her enough.

“Being with Miley is a wonderful thing in my life. She is creative and inspiring, fiercely independent and encourages me to be my own person, too. We are both creative individuals who support one another with our work,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald in a recent interview.

And, yes, she totally inspires him, too!

“Miley also inspires my art,” Cody adds. “There’s some romance in the poems I have written and yeah, they might be about her. It’s inevitable that what happens in my private life comes out in my work.”

Cody also shared what he’s learned to be a big factor in the success of relationships.

“When it comes to relationships, I do like to be in them, but I’ve had some time alone, too. In order to have a successful relationship, you have to know how to be your own person,” he says. “You don’t want to be half a person trying to find another half to complement you.”

The 23-year-old singer has been in a few high-profile relationships, including Gigi Hadid, whom he dated from 2013 to 2015.

“I dated Gigi Hadid for two years and have always enjoyed being with independent women who are strong individuals,” he shared. “I have never really been heartbroken in the deepest sense, but I have been disappointed in relationships.”

That’s not to say he doesn’t want to continue learning about life and love – although he thinks he’s too young to consider tying the knot just yet.

“I believe in marriage but haven’t thought too much about that. I am far too young to consider it, to be honest,” he says. “I just continue to surround myself with positive women who inspire me and teach me new things every day.”
