The rumors are true, and the “Flowers” singer has officially bloomed into a fiancée! After four years of keeping their romance refreshingly under the radar, living legend Miley Cyrus and musician/producer Maxx Morando are engaged.
The couple all but confirmed the news when they stepped out at the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere in Los Angeles on December 1, 2025. While their matching rock-chic energy turned heads, it was the massive cushion-cut diamond ring on Miley’s left hand that really stole the show. Sources have since confirmed that the pair is ready to tie the knot, marking the next chapter in what might be the most “low-key, high-cute” relationship in Hollywood history.
If you’ve missed the details of this quiet romance because they weren’t posting selfies every five minutes, don’t worry. We’ve compiled the complete timeline of how they went from a blind date to “I Do.”
