Miley’s Match: How Maxx Morando Became Her Partner in Life and Music

Miley Cyrus is closing out 2025 with a sparkling new chapter: she’s engaged to musician Maxx Morando after nearly four years together. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors back in late 2021, confirmed their engagement after Cyrus appeared at the “Avatar: Fire and Ash” premiere wearing a cushion-cut diamond ring on her left hand.

The ring, designed by Jacquie Aiche, features a yellow gold band and a distinctive vintage feel — a choice that seems to reflect the quietly confident direction Cyrus has been heading in both romantically and artistically. According to sources close to the couple, the engagement is a joyful and deeply personal milestone for the singer, who has kept this relationship notably more private than some of her past high-profile romances.

Morando, a drummer with the band Liily, is more than just a fiancé — he’s also a creative partner. He contributed to tracks on Cyrus’s 2023 album “Endless Summer Vacation” and has collaborated on her upcoming project, “Something Beautiful,” set for release in early 2026. The two share a low-key lifestyle centered around music and mutual support, which insiders describe as fulfilling and drama-free.

This engagement marks a turning point for Cyrus, who has been vocal about her evolving views on love and independence. With Morando, she appears to have found a rhythm that suits her both on and off the stage.
