Cyrus Settles Down: Engaged After Years of Heartbreak Ella Thomas, December 3, 2025 LOS ANGELES – Miley Cyrus has reportedly settled down with musician Maxx Morando in an engagement that seems far removed from her past experiences with relationships. According to multiple reports, the couple became engaged after a period of public romance spanning nearly six years. The confirmation came unexpectedly following a sighting at a world premiere event last week where Ms. Cyrus appeared wearing what many interpreted as a diamond ring on their left hand. Sources familiar with the development have confirmed this engagement. A representative for jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche subsequently identified her role in designing the piece. Ms. Morando, who is 27 years younger than his famous partner according to recent interviews, was first publicly linked to Cyrus during December 2021. The two were seen backstage at a holiday special event hosted by the star herself. Their relationship gained public attention later that year when they were photographed embracing in West Hollywood. In reflecting on her long-term commitment to Mr. Morando, Ms. Cyrus shared her appreciation for their dynamic which appears unconventional. “He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I share[d] with my siblings,” she noted regarding their differing perspectives, adding humorously about his digital approach influencing even the care of their pet dog. This engagement marks what seems to be an evolution from Ms. Cyrus’s previous relationship models, including those influenced by her mother. She has spoken previously of having learned “the right way” after initial missteps guided by family advice that prioritized different attributes in partners than she now values most. As they prepare for married life, the couple faces a significant age difference challenge. Ms. Cyrus addressed this directly during an interview where she mentioned how their contrasting viewpoints complement each other and help navigate differences. Entertainment
