The romantic life of the 33-year-old American singer, songwriter, and actress has been a subject of intense public interest for over a decade. As of 2026, the most frequent inquiries surrounding Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Maxx Morando center on their recent relationship milestones and creative collaborations. The couple was first romantically linked in November 2021 and made their romance publicly evident during a West Hollywood outing in April 2022. Morando, a producer and drummer for the band Liily, has also been a creative partner for the singer. In a November 20, 2024 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Cyrus highlighted their six-year age difference and revealed that he had helped write and produce music for her forthcoming project.

After approximately four years of dating, the relationship reached a new level when fans searched to see if Miley Cyrus engaged her musical collaborator. During a December 2025 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she officially confirmed her engagement to Morando. The Los Angeles Times also reported the engagement on December 2, 2025. However, as of August 2026, there is no confirmed information regarding a subsequent marriage, and the couple has kept the precise date and private circumstances of the proposal under wraps.

Before her current engagement, her most documented long-term relationship was with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. The dynamic between Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus began in 2009 when they met on the set of the film The Last Song. Their highly publicized romance led to a first engagement in the summer of 2012, which representatives confirmed had been called off by September 16, 2013. Years later, the couple reunited and eventually married on December 23, 2018, with Cyrus posting wedding photographs captioned "12.23.18."

Despite their long history, the marriage between Cyrus and Hemsworth was brief, lasting about eight months before their separation in August 2019. A Los Angeles judge finalized their divorce on January 28, 2020. Court records cited irreconcilable differences, noting that neither party sought spousal support and they had no children together.

Following her separation from Hemsworth, Cyrus experienced a few shorter-term relationships before meeting Morando. In August 2019, she was publicly linked to Kaitlynn Carter after they were photographed kissing in Lake Como, Italy, though reports indicated the relationship ended by late September of that year. Subsequently, Cyrus dated Cody Simpson for about 10 months. She personally confirmed their breakup during an Instagram Live session on August 13, 2020, closing that chapter before eventually finding long-term stability with her current fiancé.
