Red-Carpet Debut of the Ring

The Private Engagement
News Of Losangeles confirmed the engagement in December 2025. A source close to the couple said, “Miley is thrilled to be engaged. The ring is so her. It has a cool, boho-rock vibe to it. It’s beautiful. She didn’t feel the need to announce her engagement. Maxx is very private, and it’s influencing how she lives her life now.”
Cyrus echoed that hesitation in a red-carpet interview: “I’m kind of the dorkiest with stuff like that,” she told Entertainment Tonight, admitting she “gets so cringed out” using the word fiancé.
Who Is Maxx Morando
Morando, 27, drums for the Los Angeles band Liily. The couple were first linked in December 2021 when photographers spotted them cozy backstage at Cyrus’ NBC special Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party in Miami. They went public with kisses in West Hollywood in April 2022 and have lived together for years.

Golden Globes Fashion History
This marks Cyrus’ tenth Globes appearance since her 2009 debut. At last year’s ceremony she turned heads in a Celine by Hedi Slimane gown with embroidered cutouts that revealed her new “songs” tattoo. Hairstylist Bob Recine called that year’s edgy updo “a cross between Debbie Harry and Japanese cartoon characters, while still feeling undone and a little bit punk.”
Awards Night Recognition
Cyrus competes in the Best Original Song category for “Dream as One,” co-written for Avatar: Fire and Ash. The track is her first Globe nomination since 2009’s “I Thought I Lost You” from Bolt.
