Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando have officially announced their engagement after four years of dating. The exciting news was brought to light during the world premiere of “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” where Cyrus showcased her stunning diamond engagement ring, a bespoke design by Jacquie Aiche, estimated to weigh around four carats.
The couple, who celebrated their relationship at the premiere, confirmed their engagement on December 2, just a day after the event, leading to a flurry of excitement among fans and media alike. Cyrus, 33, looked glamorous in a shimmering sequin Gucci gown, drew attention with her ring while posing for photos with the 27-year-old Morando, the drummer for the band Liily.
The ring, featuring a cushion-cut diamond set in a 14-karat yellow gold band, has garnered attention for its unique east-west setting that resembles popular designs sported by other celebrities. Jewelry expert Olivia Landau estimates that if the center diamond is natural, the ring’s worth could be between $75,000 to $150,000.
Cyrus and Morando first sparked dating rumors back in November 2021 during the Gucci “Love Parade” fashion show. While their relationship has remained relatively private, they have continued to make public appearances together, including notable events like the 2025 Oscars. The musicians share a deep connection, not only through their personal lives but also professionally. Morando contributed to Cyrus’s album “Endless Summer Vacation” and participated in her visual album “Something Beautiful.”
Despite their generational difference, with Morando being part of Gen Z and Cyrus a Millennial, they have found common ground in their outlook on life and mutual interests. “He looks at life really differently than I do,” Cyrus noted in a previous interview, emphasizing that they enjoy a shared sense of humor and carefree attitude.
Cyrus’s previous marriage to Liam Hemsworth, which ended in divorce in 2020, demonstrates her growth and journey toward love. Her rekindled romance with Morando represents a new chapter filled with creativity, companionship, and shared dreams in music, reinforcing their status as a powerful pair in the entertainment industry. The couple’s engagement marks a celebration of love, commitment, and the hope for a beautiful future together.
