Miley Cyrus Announces Engagement to Musician Maxx Morando After Four Years Together

Pop superstar Miley Cyrus has officially announced her engagement to fellow musician Maxx Morando after four years of dating. The couple's relationship came into the spotlight following their attendance at the global premiere of "Avatar: Fire and Ash," where Cyrus was spotted wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring on her left hand.

Cyrus later affirmed the engagement during an interview, expressing her surprise and delight at entering this new chapter at age 33. She reflected on the evolution of her approach to relationships, noting, "The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have and having more choice."

She further discussed how her perspective on sharing personal matters has shifted with maturity, stating, "I think it’s also being older, being more protective of what I’m open to sharing."

Supporting the announcement, Morando’s father shared celebratory photographs of Cyrus alongside his son, featuring a close-up of the engagement ring. He accompanied the post with congratulatory messages and emojis, underscoring the joyous occasion.

The couple, consisting of Cyrus, 33, known globally for her musical career and former Disney Channel fame, and Maxx Morando, 27, a drummer, writer, and producer for the band Liily, reportedly began dating in 2021. Cyrus revealed in a 2023 British Vogue interview that their first meeting was a blind date, humorously noting, "Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, ‘The worst that can happen is I leave.’"

Their relationship was publicly visible at various events, including Gucci’s ‘Love Parade’ fashion show in 2021 and Cyrus’s New Year’s Eve Party that same year.

Cyrus was previously married to actor Liam Hemsworth from December 2018 to August 2019. Their relationship was characterized by multiple reconciliations before ultimately parting ways, with the divorce finalized in January 2020. Since then, Cyrus has flourished both personally and professionally, releasing chart-topping hits such as the Grammy-winning song "Flowers," which resonates as a powerful post-breakup anthem.

The engagement ring is reportedly designed by renowned jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche. Further specifics about the couple’s plans have yet to be disclosed, as they embrace this exciting new phase together.
