Miley Cyrus' boyfriend Liam Hemsworth was spotted bowling with friends at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, California, but without his fiance. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus' new music video "Wrecking Ball" is breaking records with its scandalous scenes -- is Miley Cyrus' and Liam Hemsworth's engagement still moving forward or are they having issues?

Liam Hemsworth stepped out last night for a casual evening with his friends for a night of bowling. He was spotted with a group of at least six people, including four girls, according to an eyewitness, E! News reports.

Liam and his friends smoked a few cigarettes outside the building, while the "Hunger Games" star looked relaxed and happy while chatting with his pals, E! News reports.

Liam was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a white T-shirt, black sneakers, and beanie. He rocked a scruffy beard and a flannel shirt thrown over his shoulder.

Miley Cyrus has been busy releasing her new "Wrecking Ball" music video, which has broken Vevo records for the most-watched video in 24 hours, with 12.3 million within 13 hours, DigitalSpy.com reports. Her recent MTV VMA 2013 performance, including latex underwear and a foam finger, was the talk of the town as well.

But Liam hasn't been present despite Miley's recent rise to fame. He didn't attend the VMAs with Miley, but instead returned to Los Angeles after his appearance at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, which he attended with his older brother Luke to support his brother Chris Hemsworth at the premiere for the new racing drama, "Rush," E! News reports.

Miley Cyrus and the 23-year-old Liam were last seen together in early August at the Los Angeles premiere for Liam's corporate-espionage thriller "Paranoia," where reports said the engaged couple looked awkward and bored with each other as they posed for cameras.

Prior to their August appearance, Miley was photographed with her fiance in June for the first time in five months, stepping out for a casual movie date at ArcLight Cinemas together.

It's likely that Miley and her boyfriend prefer to keep out of the public eye while spending time together, but their recent lack of support for each other at public events brings into question whether their engagement is still moving forward, or if the couple is struggling with some hurdles.
