Miley Cyrus Confirms Her Engagement to Musician Maxx Morando

Miley Cyrus has officially confirmed that she is engaged to her partner of four years, musician Maxx Morando. Fans began whispering after she appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar Fire and Ash wearing a gold and diamond ring on the finger everyone watches most closely. Within days, she addressed the speculation during an interview on Good Morning America, finally giving people the answer they had been waiting for.

The surprise proposal she never expected

During the interview, Miley explained that the engagement happened on a recent trip to Asia, where Morando got down on one knee. What made the moment even more meaningful for her was the fact that she genuinely did not see it coming. She told the interviewer that she is not an easy person to surprise because she usually likes to stay in control of everything around her. This time, though, she allowed the moment to unfold naturally and found herself overwhelmed by how unexpected and heartfelt it was. She described the surprise as something that touched her deeply.

A look back at her past relationships

The news marks an important chapter for Miley who was previously married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. The two had been together for nearly ten years before they married in 2018 but their relationship came to an end the following year. Miley has spoken openly in the past about the emotional journey she experienced around that time and how much personal growth she has focused on since then. Her engagement to Morando reflects a new era in her life one shaped by stability trust and a different kind of partnership.

How Miley and Maxx first crossed paths

The story of how the couple met sounds almost cinematic. In an interview with British Vogue in 2023 Miley shared that they were introduced through what she jokingly described as a blind date. Morando is a drummer for the Los Angeles based band Liily and their connection grew gradually from that first meeting. Their relationship eventually blended into their creative worlds as well. Liily performed at NBC’s Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party in 2022 where Miley shared the stage with artists including her godmother Dolly Parton and David Byrne.

Miley shares why the relationship works

While holding up her engagement ring on Good Morning America Miley smiled and said that Morando chose well. She added that the four years they have spent together have been some of the most transformative years of her life. She credits part of her personal growth to having someone beside her who constantly encourages her and believes in her abilities. She said that one of the most important things in a partnership is choosing someone who always reminds you that you can succeed even when you doubt yourself.

Her music career continues to evolve

Miley is also in the midst of a creative period. Her new song Dream as One appears in the latest Avatar film and she released her ninth studio album earlier this year. Even with the excitement around her music she has been clear that she has no plans to tour soon. She has spoken about how difficult it can be to maintain sobriety and mental health while traveling constantly and has decided that protecting her wellbeing must come first. Fans may not see her on stage for a while but her new music and her engagement show she is entering a grounded and fulfilling stage of life.
