Sometimes things aren't always what they seem...
On her way to one of music's biggest nights, Miley Cyrus took to her Instagram to show off her arm candy for the 2014 MTV Movie Awards, saying no more than, "My date :) #jesse #myfriendsplace #mtvVMAs2014," as she puckered up to his handsome face.
And while the "We Can't Stop" singer made no mention of Jesse prior to today's PDA-filled pics, she has frequently referenced her charity work (and sometimes, artwork) at myfriendsplace.org--an organization dedicated to helping the homeless build self-sufficient lives.
The former homeless teen hit the VMA stage to accept the Video of the Year Award for "Wrecking Ball" on behalf of Cyrus and shed some light on his connection with the former Disney star.

Cyrus looked on with tears in her eyes as Jesse nervously began speaking of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless teens in America and admitted to being one of them.
