Miley Cyrus Keeping Boyfriend ‘At Arm’s Length’ Amid Ex Divorce, ‘Source’ Claims

Miley Cyrus’ love life has always been a controversial topic among fans. Currently, the pop star is dating drummer Maxx Morando and is reportedly in love with him. However, a source told Radar Online that her failed marriage with Liam Hemsworth became the reason for keeping Morando “at arm’s length.” The report suggested that it has become an obstacle in their relationship.

Miley Cyrus ‘still bitter’ about Liam Hemsworth divorce, ‘source’ claims

Miley Cyrus had a bittersweet relationship with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. They got engaged twice and married in 2018. In less than a year, they parted ways in 2019 and finalized their divorce the following year. 

While it seemed Cyrus closed Hemsworth’s chapter, her current boyfriend, Maxx Morando, reportedly thinks otherwise. According to Radar Online, the drummer would walk away from the relationship if the “Flowers” singer continued to obsess over her ex-husband. Additionally, a source told the tabloid, “He claims she’s moved on, but that doesn’t really measure up to the way she acts.”

The insider further mentioned that the popstar reportedly “gets upset” seeing Hemsworth and his girlfriend Gabriella Brooks’ photos online. Moreover, Cyrus might be against the idea of marriage after her divorce. “She’s still so bitter about the divorce she can’t even fathom the idea of getting married again. She says she’s in love with Maxx, but in a lot of ways she keeps him at arm’s length,” they added.

According to the source, Morando had not yet proposed to the singer because she has allegedly not moved on. The drummer has seemingly “had enough of taking a backseat” and is “drawing a line” to matters related to Hemsworth.

Cyrus and Morando met on a blind date in the summer of 2021. In a 2024 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the Disney star opened up about her beau. She said, “He’s very similar to me. We just don’t take life too seriously.”
