Those Liam Hemsworth split rumors aren't going to send Miley Cyrus into hiding.

On Friday, the bride-to-be and some friends relaxed poolside at a Palm Desert, Calif., hotel. Wearing a tiny floral bikini and oversize sunglasses, Miley chatted on her cell phone, soaked up some sun and cooled off with a dip in the water.

So where was her handsome Aussie fiancé? Working away! Liam fulfilled a promotional appearance for Bench clothing label, happily posing with fans in Manila, Philippines. Prior to that, Liam vacationed in his home country with his brother Chris Hemsworth and family—sans Miley.

Some eagle-eyed fans might notice Miley wasn't wearing her engagement ring Friday by the pool, but don't worry. The erstwhile Disney star explained on Twitter that her bling was being fixed at the jewelers. (Not to mention, most people don't showcase their jewelry by the pool.)

E! News did hear that things have "been a bit rocky" between Liam and Miley, but a source says they're "not giving up" and "both want it to work."

Liam is expected back in the States any day now. Let's hope Miley live-tweets their romantic reunion and puts the breakup rumors to rest!
