Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, began dating in 2022 and have been inseparable ever since. Though they have kept their relationship away from the public eye, the couple sparked engagement rumors when the Disney Channel alum was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger at the December 2025 Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere.
In March 2022, Entertainment Tonight reported that the couple had been quietly dating for some time. “Miley likes the fact that they are low-key as a couple and is just focused on doing her thing and being around people that make her happy, and Maxx does that.”

“I’m Maxx Morando,” a then-18-year-old Maxx wrote for Modern Drummer in 2016. The musician said he had been “playing drums since I was eight and joined the School of Rock in Hollywood. I met some of my bandmates there, three of whom are Sage, Genessa, and Lydia of the Regrettes. My main influences are Phil Collins, Keith Moon, and Jack Bevan.”
Although he is best known for playing drums, he can also play guitar, as he demonstrated during an Instagram Live video from 2020.
Before joining the four-person Los Angeles rock band Liily, Morando played drums for the punk rock band The Regrettes from 2015 to 2018. Morando met his bandmates Lydia Night, Sage Chavis, and Genessa Gariano while attending music school. The group released their debut EP, Hey!, in 2015, followed by their debut album, Feel Your Feelings Fool!, in 2017.
“We’re excited that the incredible Mike Elizondo produced our record,” he told Modern Drummer at the time. “The recording process was extremely fun and taught me so much. We recorded live, straight to tape, all in the same room, all at the same time. I was super focused on getting the best take every time as I couldn’t go back and re-do little parts. But because of this, I would focus too much and start to stiffen up and not play the way I wanted. After we did a few songs, I started to loosen up, and just played how I’d play live. It taught me to just play drums like I usually would, comfortably. It brought out some really great takes.”
