After four years together, the singer and her musician boyfriend take their relationship to the next level.
Miley Cyrus and musician Maxx Morando have announced their engagement, marking a new chapter in their four-year relationship. The news emerged during a glamorous event in Hollywood, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.
The engagement was revealed at the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 2. Cyrus appeared with Morando, wearing an eye-catching diamond ring on her left hand. The dazzling ring on a gold band quickly became the highlight of the evening, as the couple posed together on the red carpet.
While the couple remained private about their personal lives, the engagement was hard to miss. Celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi noted that Cyrus had been seen with the ring since mid-November, suggesting the proposal happened recently and away from the public eye.
Family Celebrations Confirm the News
The engagement was further confirmed by Morando’s father, who posted congratulatory messages on his private Instagram, including photos of the couple and a close-up of the ring. This family acknowledgment solidified the speculations following the premiere.
Instead of discussing the engagement at the event, Cyrus focused on her professional work, highlighting her new song “Dream As One” for the Avatar soundtrack, created in collaboration with director James Cameron. This reflects the couple’s preference for privacy over public attention.
A Romance Built on Music
Cyrus and Morando’s relationship began in December 2021 when they appeared together at Gucci’s Love Parade fashion show in Los Angeles. Cyrus subtly introduced Morando to her fans by sharing a photo of him from the event on Instagram. Since then, they have kept a low profile, nurturing their relationship away from the spotlight.
Their connection extends into their professional lives, with Morando contributing to Cyrus’s music. He produced “Handstand” from her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation and worked on tracks for her upcoming project, Something Beautiful. Their shared passion for music has been a cornerstone of their relationship.
From Blind Date to Forever
In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, Cyrus shared the story of meeting Morando on a blind date. She humorously mentioned that it was more of a blind date for her. Despite initial reservations, the meeting led to a strong connection, culminating in their engagement.
The couple’s ability to balance their public and private lives has been a defining trait. While active in the music industry, they have avoided the pitfalls of overexposure that often affect celebrity relationships.
Looking Toward the Future
As the engagement news spreads, fans eagerly await details of their wedding plans. However, given their private nature, announcements may not be immediate. What is clear is that Cyrus and Morando have built a relationship based on mutual respect and creative collaboration.
This engagement marks a significant step in Cyrus’s personal life, following her previous marriage to actor Liam Hemsworth, which ended in 2020. Her relationship with Morando offers a new dynamic, characterized by artistic partnership and a more private approach to public life.
For Morando, formerly a drummer for the band Liily, the relationship has elevated his profile while allowing him to contribute significantly to major music projects. Their collaboration suggests that their partnership will continue to thrive both personally and creatively.
As they embark on this new journey, their engagement symbolizes a romantic milestone and the culmination of years spent building a relationship on their own terms. Whether through musical collaborations or eventual wedding celebrations, Cyrus and Morando demonstrate a genuine partnership and shared creative vision.
