Teen sensation Miley Cyrus has fueled talks that she is dating fellow teen star Cody Linley after they were seen leaving the actor’s LA pad late in the evening.

Previously, the Hannah Montana star has admitted her crush on co-star 18-year-old Linley, who plays her love interest on the TV series.

She once said, "He is so much fun to look at. He's really fun and down to earth. And he's hot!"

Linley used to date Camp Rock actress Demi Lovato until their recent split.

Rumor has it that when Linley and Lovato went their separate ways, the 15-year-old Disney star “pounced on the newly single hunk.”

Linley and Cyrus, who is reportedly a member of the purity ring cult, were photographed as the actor was driving away from his apartment on Sept. 2.

A witness said, “Cody opened the door of his Mustang for Miley, who had a huge smile on her face. She couldn't keep her eyes off him.”

However, Linley insists the two of them are just pals. “She came over, and Miley, my roommate and I all painted. We splatter-painted. Right now, we're just very close friends.”

18 and 15... Dude better watch out.
