The love story of Miley Cyrus and her Gen Z boyfriend Maxx Morando began with a blind date arranged by mutual friends. In an interview with British Vogue in 2023, Miley revealed that she knew almost nothing about Maxx before the date, which unexpectedly became the starting point of a serious relationship.

The couple were first spotted together in late 2021 and officially confirmed their romance in 2022. While occasionally appearing at public events, they have kept their relationship largely private. According to People, Miley was drawn to Maxx’s low-key personality and feels comfortable being herself with him. He has also supported her creatively, contributing to her album Something Beautiful.

Despite their six-year age gap, Miley has spoken positively about dating someone from Gen Z, highlighting their shared outlook on life and love of music. In February 2024, Maxx accompanied her to the Grammy Awards, where Miley publicly referred to him as “my love.”

In December 2025, engagement rumors erupted when Miley appeared with a large diamond ring at the premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Shortly after, People confirmed that Maxx had proposed with a custom ring designed by Jacquie Aiche, marking a major milestone in their quiet yet steady romance.
