Pop star Miley Cyrus can always buy herself flowers. But now that she’s engaged to her fellow musician boyfriend, Maxx Morando, he can spring for her next bouquet instead.
These multi-talented artists started dating several years ago, yet they chose to keep their relationship private. After all, relationships are tricky. Add that fact to their celebrity status, which often arrives with heated speculations and headlines, and you can easily see why they moved as they did. After all, no one wants their intimate moments publicized, especially Miley, who has already had her heart broken in the press.
Apart from a few scattered interviews, Miley and Maxx mostly remained discreet throughout their love story. But thanks to her soon-to-be father-in-law, and the photographers who snapped Miley wearing a ring on that specific finger, we now know that they are engaged. But who is Maxx? Here are all the details…
Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando are engaged
In 2021, Miley and Maxx attended a Gucci fashion show together, dressed to the nines for this special occasion. One month later, rumors of their relationship grew intense, solely because the pair held hands and danced during her NBC special, Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party.
In the years that followed, Miley and Maxx protected their love story as they saw fit. But two months ago, Miley finally opened up to The Cut. As she explained, she needed to handle things differently than she had in the past. And this time around, she knew she needed “to find someone who treats me with respect.”
Thankfully, she found what she needed in Maxx. And now, following four years of dating, Miley and her respectable partner, Maxx, are engaged.
As Miley just explained on Good Morning America, Maxx proposed in Japan. “I am not easy to surprise, because I love to control every situation. And I had completely surrendered,” she admitted, adding, “I actually had never gone to Japan, which I did that purposefully. I wanted one place in the world that could be my special place that I saved for me.”
Miley Cyrus’ engagement ring was revealed on the Avatar: Fire And Ash red carpet
Miley is a Grammy Award-winning pop artist. So, when the team behind Avatar: Fire and Ash needed fresh tracks, Miley put pen to paper and started formatting her next hit. And now, Dream as One, her new single co-written with Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, and Simon Franglen, appears in the end credits of this film. Cue Miley, scoring an invite two days ago to the world premiere red carpet party.
At this premiere, fans spotted a unique engagement-looking ring on Miley’s left hand. According to sources, Jacquie Aiche created this “bespoke” piece. It features a cushion‑cut stone set in a thick 14‑karat yellow gold band. And experts are already weighing in on its worth.
Blue Nile’s Daniela Tarantino guessed, “We believe the ring is roughly a 4-5 carat modified cushion that costs around $300,000 to $450,000,” depending on the stone’s quality. Meanwhile, another jeweler noted that a mined version might cost closer to $200,000, while a lab‑grown stone might drop the value all the way down to a still-pricey $15,000.
Who are Maxx Morando’s parents?
Maxx’s parents are Dan Morando and Amy Kaye Morando. He also has a younger sister named Bella Morando. As for his father, Dan is an executive producer. His IMDb page lists several series that obviously make us very happy here at Reality Tea.
What do we mean by that? Well, to start, Dan has worked on several reality television competition series, including The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. On The Bachelor, Dan produced Seasons 4 through 7. As for The Bachelorette, however, Dan only worked on Seasons 2 and 3.
Additionally, Dan also worked on Temptation Island during its first three seasons. Heaven help his eyeballs with all that steamy footage. Regardless, as lovers of reality TV, we appreciate his service. And we also thank him for his family-friendly work on series like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and The Voice Kids.
Dan is also the one who broke the news of his son’s engagement. Yesterday, on Threads, Dan posted several images of Miley and Maxx, including a close-up of her new ring. In the comments, Dan penned “Congratulations,” followed by a heart, engagement ring, and celebratory emojis.
His mother, Amy, leads a quieter life. His parents have been going strong for over 20 years now.
What is Maxx Morando’s age?
Maxx was born on November 16, 1998, in Los Angeles, California. He is currently 27 years old, which makes him six years younger than his fiancée, Miley.
Maxx and Miley live in Los Angeles, where Maxx works as a musician. He is currently the drummer of a post-punk band, Liily. Before that, he drummed for another punk rock band, The Regrettes, from 2015 to 2018.
Likewise, Maxx is also a songwriter and a producer. He has even helped Miley on some of her tracks, acting as the ever-supportive King that she deserves. Speaking of supportive, Maxx has also dabbled in fashion. He co-created an outfit for Miley in 2021 with designer Shane Kastl.
With all these skills and talents to his name, one might think that Maxx is living his best loud life in California, complete with all the glitz and glam that this industry affords. But no. Instead, Maxx is all about that private and uncomplicated life, which we know his new fiancée, Miley, likely appreciates.
