Nothing but love. Trace Cyrus initially wanted to come off as a “bully” and an intimidating older brother to Liam Hemsworth when he first started dating his younger sis, Miley Cyrus, — but it’s hard to dislike someone who is so … perfect.

The 30-year-old recently gushed about his new brother-in-law to Us Weekly at the grand opening of the Barbershop Cuts and Cocktails at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas on Friday, March 15, admitting that he “loves him.” “I mean, any time you have some guy dating your sister, you want to be the big brother — the bully — and hate on him, but he such a great guy. I love him. He’s awesome,” he went on.

The beautiful couple secretly tied the knot on December 23 at their home in Nashville. The Grammy nominee, 26, and the Australian actor, 29, met on the set of The Last Song where they played opposites in a teenage love story, foreshadowing the rest of their lives. On December 26, the “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” songstress took to Instagram to share a series of black and white photos of herself and Liam from their special day.
