Miley Cyrus has taken a major step in her relationship with drummer Maxx Morando: the couple is engaged. The news broke after the pair walked the red carpet together at the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash, with Cyrus sporting a chunky diamond ring on her left hand. Fans immediately began speculating about the couple’s status, as they have been dating since 2021.

While the ring has only recently caught the public’s eye, Cyrus has reportedly been wearing it for some time. She was seen showing the ring in her November 24 birthday post, where she held a hand — presumably Maxx’s — with her ring finger clearly adorned.
The engagement was officially confirmed when Maxx’s father, Dan Morando, shared pictures of the couple on Threads, giving fans a close-up view of the 14-karat gold ring featuring a corner-cut diamond.
Cyrus and Morando met on a blind date in 2021, and their relationship has been in the spotlight ever since. They have made occasional public appearances together, including Gucci’s Love Parade in 2021 and last year’s Grammys, where Cyrus referred to Morando as “my love” in her acceptance speech for her first Grammy win.

This engagement comes amid a busy year for celebrity commitments. Taylor Swift got engaged to American football star Travis Kelce in August, while Cristiano Ronaldo became engaged to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez in the same month. Disney alum Selena Gomez tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in September, and Liam Hemsworth, Cyrus’ ex-husband, got engaged to model Gabriella Brooks around the same time.
