    Miley Cyrus is engaged to Maxx Morando

    The 33-year-old actress and the 27-year-old singer recently got engaged after four years of dating, according to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column.


    The loved-up couple sparked engagement speculation earlier this week when they walked the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash.

    Miley and Maxx posed for photos at the premiere, where the chart-topping star was seen sporting a diamond set in a thick gold band.

    Francesca Consulting, Miley's representative, subsequently confirmed that designer Jacquie Aiche custom-made the sparkling engagement ring.

    Francesca also revealed additional details about the ring, confirming that Miley was wearing a "chunky" 14-karat yellow gold band.

    Maxx's dad, Dan Morando, has already posted a congratulatory message to the couple on social media. However, neither Miley nor Maxx have made any public comments about their engagement.

    Miley was married to actor Liam Hemsworth between 2018 and 2020, and the pop star previously admitted that she struggled to cope with their break-up.

    She said on The Howard Stern Show: "Sometimes you miss people more than others, and sometimes, things get easier. Time kind of heals all, but that was at a time where I felt really strong. And then somedays I don't."

    The former couple lost their home in California in a wildfire, and Miley admits that the incident proved to be a turning point in their relationship.

    She said: "I had so much and it was all gone, every song I had ever written was in that house.

    "Every photograph of me that my parents had given to me, all my scripts, I lost everything. And so in trying to put that back together, instead of going, 'Oh, nature kind of did something I couldn't do for myself; it forced me to let go,' I ran toward the fire. Which is not abnormal, a lot of animals do this and end up dying, like deers run into the forest.

    "You're attracted to that heat and me being an intense person and not wanting to sit with it, and not wanting to go, you know, 'What could be purposeful about this?' I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him. And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will."
