Miley Cyrus has been in the spotlight this month with big news, a brand‑new engagement ring from her fiancé, Maxx Morando, and a sense of humor about the whole thing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The singer confirmed her engagement to Morando during her appearance on the show. Now, with their engagement confirmed and the ring making headlines, the couple enters a new chapter — one that Cyrus seems happy to celebrate with her classic candid charm.
Miley Cyrus calls engagement ‘Black Friday deal,’ confirms engagement on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
Miley Cyrus showed off her cushion‑cut diamond engagement ring from fiancé, Maxx Morando, on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” This was days after the ring’s first red carpet appearance at the “Avatar: Fire and Ash” premiere on December 1, where she had walked the carpet in a black Gucci gown, and the chunky gold ring immediately drew attention. By December 2, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that she and Morando were officially engaged.
During her conversation with Jimmy Kimmel, the host congratulated her and joked about the timing of the proposal. When he said that Morando “wouldn’t have to come up with a Christmas gift” if he had waited, Cyrus shot back with her now‑viral line: “This was Black Friday deal, baby.” She said with a laugh, “It wasn’t, but he was smart that way.” Cyrus further joked, “It might have been. I’m not sure. It better not have been.”
The ring has been the subject of expert analysis. Francesca Simons, a representative for jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche, told PEOPLE that Aiche created the “bespoke” piece. Blue Nile’s Daniela Tarantino estimated the value at up to $450,000, while Reyne Hirsch, a former Antiques Roadshow appraiser, gave a lower estimate of $150,000 to $250,000.
Additionally, a source told #ShuterScoop that Cyrus had actually been planning her own proposal before Morando surprised her during their recent trip to Asia.
Miley Cyrus and her fiancé, Maxx Morando, have kept their relationship mostly private since 2021, and if Cyrus’ sense of humor about the engagement ring on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is any indication, they are having fun with the spotlight.
