A Special Moment in Japan: Why This Proposal Was Perfect
The location of the proposal held tremendous significance for Miley beyond typical romantic gestures. The Hannah Montana alum revealed that Japan was a special place she had been saving just for herself, making Maxx’s choice deeply personal and thoughtful.

Miley and Maxx’s Four-Year Love Story: From Blind Date to Engaged
The couple’s romance began in November 2021 when they were set up on a blind date—a setup that seemed unlikely at first. “Well, it was blind for me and not really for him,” Miley recalled in a 2023 interview with British Vogue. The couple went red carpet official at Gucci’s Love Parade event on November 2, 2021.
By April 2022, they were spotted making out in Los Angeles, and the relationship has remained relatively private since then. In February 2024, Maxx attended Miley’s Grammy win, where she won her first-ever Grammy award and referred to him as “my love” in her acceptance speech. The couple moved in together in February 2024, according to People magazine.
Throughout their four years together, Miley has consistently praised her partner. “I ended up with a person who means a lot to me and treats me really well and respects me,” she told The Cut in September 2025. “My man’s hot as hell too.”
What Does This Engagement Mean for Miley’s Future?
The engagement comes at a significant moment in Miley’s life and career. With her work on Avatar: Fire and Ash (for which she wrote “Dream as One”), plus her private, secure relationship with Maxx Morando, the 33-year-old artist emphasized that her life feels “perfectly aligned.” She credited the dramatic growth she experienced over their four years together.
Miley also revealed her astonishment at maintaining privacy around the engagement. “Our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have,” she told People. This shows a maturation in how she approaches her personal life compared to past relationships, which had been highly publicized.
