Miley Cyrus and drummer Maxx Morando have confirmed their engagement, a milestone for one of pop music’s most talked-about figures. The announcement in December 2025 follows roughly four years of dating and reunites Cyrus’s public life with a new chapter that matters to fans and the music world alike.

Who is Maxx Morando and how they met

Maxx Morando is the drummer for indie rock band Liily and has worked alongside Cyrus in recent years. He joined her for her 2022 New Year’s Eve special, and the couple says their relationship began after a blind date.

Miley on their first meeting

In a May 2023 interview with British Vogue, Cyrus described the setup as a blind date. “It was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, ‘The worst that can happen is I leave,’” she joked, recalling how the pair first connected.

What happened and when

The couple publicly confirmed their engagement in December 2025 after about four years together. That timeline suggests they were quietly building their relationship through 2021 and 2022 — a period when Morando also took part in events with Cyrus, including televised appearances.

Why this matters now

  • Miley Cyrus remains a major cultural figure after two decades in music and television, so an engagement attracts wide media and fan attention.
  • Morando’s role as a working musician and collaborator on live events ties the news to both pop and indie music communities.

Context: Cyrus’s relationship history and recent work

Cyrus’s love life has been part of her public story since her Disney Channel days. Her high-profile relationships — from early links with Nick Jonas to her marriage and divorce from actor Liam Hemsworth, and later romances with artists such as Cody Simpson — have often influenced public interest in her music and public image.

On the creative side, Cyrus released the album Endless Summer Vacation in 2023 and has continued to tour and record. She has previously denied that certain hits were about exes, emphasizing the separation between her personal life and artistic output.

Fan and industry reaction

News of the engagement quickly sparked social-media buzz and congratulations from fans, with conversations trending across platforms. Industry watchers note that engagements and personal milestones for major artists often lead to renewed media attention and can coincide with new projects or public appearances.

What’s next

Neither Cyrus nor Morando has announced wedding details or a firm timeline. Fans can expect official statements, possible personal interviews, and coverage of any future celebrations. Given both artists’ active careers, the next moves will likely balance private plans with public interest.

As Cyrus and Morando move toward marriage, the pairing underscores how her personal and professional worlds continue to evolve — and how closely fans follow every chapter.
