Miley Cyrus’s engagement to Maxx Morando
Miley Cyrus is engaged to musician Maxx Morando after dating for about four years. The engagement became public in early December 2025 when Miley was seen wearing a striking diamond ring on her left-hand finger at the premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash. The custom-designed ring by jeweler Jacquie Aiche features a cushion-cut diamond set in a thick 14-karat yellow-gold band. Miley described herself as “astounded” by the proposal and has appreciated keeping this special moment private and intimate.
The couple first met on what Miley called a “blind date” and went public with their relationship in late 2021. Morando, a drummer for the band Liily and a songwriter and producer, has also collaborated with Miley on her music projects.
In a GMA interview, Miley Cyrus confirmed that there’s reason for congratulations, revealing that the proposal completely took her by surprise. “I am not easy to surprise because I love to control every situation, and I had completely surrendered. And I’m telling you, I was so, so, so surprised,” she said.
Miley said she “of course” said “yes” when Maxx Morando proposed and praised him for picking out her engagement ring, saying he “did good.” This will be her second marriage; she was previously married to Liam Hemsworth. The couple had an on-and-off relationship spanning ten years, married in December 2018, separated seven months later in August 2019, and finalized their divorce in January 2020.
