Surprise Announcement: Miley Cyrus Confirms Engagement to Maxx Morando — Wedding Plans Already Underway

Pop icon Miley Cyrus has just dropped a bombshell that’s taken fans by surprise: she’s getting engaged to musician and longtime friend Maxx Morando — and it’s happening next month.

In a candid Instagram post shared late Friday evening, the “Flowers” singer confirmed the news with a simple yet striking caption:

“He’s the calm to my chaos. We’re getting married.”

The post included a black-and-white photo of Miley and Maxx holding hands on a beach, with what appeared to be a subtle engagement ring glinting on her finger. Fans and celebrity friends alike flooded the comments with congratulations — and no small amount of shock.

Rumors of a deepening relationship between Cyrus and Morando had been circulating for months, but few expected a formal engagement announcement so soon, especially given the singer’s famously complicated romantic history and her recent openness about exploring non-traditional relationships.

Sources close to the couple say the engagement was a “mutual and deeply personal decision” that had been discussed privately for some time.

“Miley has never been this grounded,” a close friend shared. “Maxx brings out a calmer, more centered side of her. He doesn’t compete with her energy — he balances it.”

Maxx Morando, a talented drummer and songwriter best known for his work with the band Liily and as a collaborator on some of Miley’s recent projects, has remained mostly out of the public eye during their relationship. The two reportedly bonded over their shared love for music, fashion, and creative freedom.

Their relationship first gained attention in 2021, but it wasn’t until 2023 that they began appearing more openly together. Unlike her previous high-profile romances — including her marriage and divorce from actor Liam Hemsworth — this one has flown largely under the radar.

Fans are divided between shock and joy. While many had no idea the couple was even considering marriage, others say the pairing makes perfect sense. “Miley has evolved a lot in the past few years,” one fan commented. “If Maxx makes her happy and stable, then I’m all in.”

According to insiders, the engagement ceremony will be a private event held sometime next month, likely in California or Tennessee, with only close friends and family invited. The couple reportedly wants to keep things low-key and intimate — a far cry from the glitz and paparazzi-fueled headlines of Miley’s past.

As for the wedding itself, there are whispers of a beachside celebration, with live music, custom couture, and maybe even a surprise performance or two from the bride herself.

In her post, Miley also teased new music inspired by this chapter of her life, suggesting that a more personal and romantic era may be on the horizon for her fans.

“I’ve been through chaos. This time, I’m choosing peace,” she wrote.

If this engagement holds, it marks not only a personal milestone for Cyrus, but a powerful evolution in her journey — from wild child to self-assured woman in love.
