Miley Cyrus sparks engagement rumors with Maxx Morando by flaunting a diamond ring on the red carpet: A look back at their four-year relationship timeline

Miley Cyrus and her partner Maxx Morando made a sweet appearance at the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere in Los Angeles, fueling rumors of an engagement. The 33-year-old singer and her 27-year-old musician boyfriend were seen on the red carpet, with fans noting a diamond ring on Cyruss left-hand ring finger.

People magazine reported on Tuesday that the couple is engaged, citing an anonymous source, although Cyrus has not publicly confirmed the news. The pair, who began dating in 2021, have maintained a strong relationship ever since.

2021: Blind Date and Fashion Show Debut

Their romance began in the summer of 2021 when they were set up on a blind date. Cyrus told British Vogue in 2023, We got put on a blind date the worst that can happen is I leave. Later that year, the duo attended the Gucci Love Parade fashion show, sparking further romance speculation. Cyrus wore a metallic blue fringe dress with a pale yellow feathered drop waist, while Morando opted for a burgundy suit with a collared G-logo shirt.

2022: Keeping Things Low-Key

In 2022, the couples relationship remained relatively private. Morando, drummer for the Los Angeles band Liily, supported Cyrus during her NBC holiday special, Mileys New Years Eve Party. A source told Us Weekly, Theyre still getting to know each other They are having fun and have been spending a lot of time together.

In March 2023, Morando revealed that he contributed to Cyruss eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, producing or co-producing tracks including Handstand and Violet Chemistry. Despite his creative involvement, Morando prefers to stay out of the spotlight. According to People, Hes very low-key. Miley loves these qualities. Miley can be herself. They are supportive of each others careers.

2024: Family and Awards

Morando accompanied Cyrus to the 2024 Grammy Awards, joined by her mother Tish and sister Brandi. When Cyrus won Record of the Year, she acknowledged Morando as my love during her acceptance speech. Soon after, reports emerged that the couple were living together, with sources noting Cyrus appeared very happy and harmonious in the relationship.

In November 2024, Cyrus appeared on the cover of Harpers Bazaar Art Issue, discussing her bond with Morando and their collaboration on her 2025 album, Something Beautiful. She explained, Hes very similar to me. We just dont take life too seriously Maxx just inspires me so much.

2025: Public Appearances and Engagement Speculation

The couple has been prominent at multiple events in 2025, including the Grammys, SNL50, the Oscars, and a New York City outing. In a September interview with The Cut, Cyrus shared her mothers advice about relationships and how she learned to find a partner who truly respects her.

In December, Cyrus and Morando attended the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere. Cyrus wore a strapless black sequin Gucci gown, with the diamond ring on her left-hand finger drawing particular attention. While neither has confirmed the engagement, fans and media outlets continue to speculate. An Instagram account, Deux Moi, first reported sightings of the ring in mid-November.
