Miley Cyrus‘ engagement news is now official, and she is keeping the details close. The Grammy winner confirmed her low-key next step with drummer Maxx Morando after four years together.
In a new chat tied to the “Avatar: Fire and Ash” soundtrack, the star explains why a quieter approach suits her at 33. The update arrives after weeks of ring talk and a coordinated red carpet. Newly engaged Miley Cyrus frames privacy as a conscious choice rather than a stunt.
Miley Cyrus opens up on private engagement to Maxx Morando
Speaking about boundaries, Miley Cyrus tells PEOPLE, “The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have and being able to kind of have more choice.” She adds, “I think it’s also being older, being more protective of what I’m open to sharing.”
The singer then links that mindset to “Avatar’s” themes. As she puts it, the film is “about love, family resilience, and kind of reconnection and that stronger together idea.” Therefore, she says the moment “was kind of perfectly thematic and aligned with where I am in my life now.”
Contextually, the chatter of Cyrus‘s engagement spiked after the Los Angeles premiere on December 1. She appeared with Morando and a glittery cushion-cut ring designed by Jacquie Aiche. Dating buzz around the “Hannah Montana” alum and Liily’s drummer started in late 2021. Later, the pair’s rare public moments included the 2025 Oscars and a few backstage photos.
Meanwhile, reporting around the ring places its value at around $450,000. However, the couple has kept specifics light. Instead, Cyrus highlights control and calm over spectacle. For fans, the takeaway is straightforward: Cyrus’ engaged status changes little about how she moves now. She prefers a smaller circle and measured reveals.
