In December of the same year, the couple was seen holding hands and dancing in Miami during Cyrus’s New Year’s Eve Party special for NBC, which heightened the buzz surrounding their relationship.
By April 2022, they confirmed their romance during a public outing in West Hollywood, where they displayed affectionate behavior.
During the 2024 Grammys, Morando was present to support Cyrus, who won her first Grammy for “Flowers.” He celebrated her achievement with a passionate kiss, marking an important moment in their relationship.
Morando tends to maintain a low profile regarding his personal life, yet he shares a parallel journey in music with Cyrus, having carved out an outstanding career.
Here’s a closer look at what we know about Cyrus’s boyfriend.
His musical talent knows no bounds
Primarily recognized as the drummer for the band Liily and previously for The Regrettes from 2015 to 2018, Morando is also adept at playing guitar, which he demonstrated during an Instagram Live session in 2020.
Additionally, he has collaborated with Cyrus on her recent album, Endless Summer Vacation, producing tracks such as “Handstand” and “Violet Chemistry.”
He is Younger than Miley by Six Years
Born in 1998, Morando is six years younger than Cyrus, with his birthday falling on November 16, just a week before hers.
His Fashion Design Skills Shine through
In addition to his musical talents, Morando has ventured into fashion design, drawing inspiration from Cyrus. She disclosed in September 2021 that he had created cartoon designs for a custom vegan leather outfit by designer Shane Kastl, which she wore during a performance that month.
Cyrus praised this collaboration, stating, “This look is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between two of my favorite emerging artists, Maxx Morando and Shane Kastl.
Their collaboration is the perfect example of sustainability becoming the next fashion phase, and it proves that anything can be reinvented, which resonates with me deeply.”
Miley Feels Comfortable Being Herself around Maxx
A source revealed to People in March 2023 that Morando’s drama-free personality is a huge attraction for Cyrus. The source described him as a “cool guy” who is not interested in celebrity status, which Cyrus appreciates.
“Miley can be herself. They are supportive of each other’s careers. Miley is enjoying life and things are great,” the source added.
