Pop icon Miley Cyrus has shared new details about the intimate proposal from her boyfriend-turned-fiancé Maxx Morando, revealing that the moment took her completely by surprise and left her emotionally stunned.
In a recent television interview, Cyrus recalled how she normally prefers to be in control of everything but this time she surrendered fully. The 33-year-old said she was “so, so surprised” when Morando got down on one knee during a trip to Asia, a gesture that caught her off guard despite her usually independent spirit.
She proudly showed off her new engagement ring: a striking cushion-cut diamond set atop a thick 14-karat gold band, custom-designed by jewellery house Jacquie Aiche. Cyrus didn’t hold back praise when asked if Morando nailed the ring choice, she simply said “he did good.”
The engagement comes after roughly four years of dating. The couple first met in 2021 on a blind date, a meeting Cyrus once described as a low-stakes gamble that surprised her by actually blossoming. Over the years their relationship has seen subtle public appearances from red-carpet photos to shared outings but until now they have kept their romance largely private.
Guests and fans witnessed their joy at the world premiere of the upcoming film Avatar: Fire and Ash in Los Angeles, where Cyrus posed on the red carpet with the dazzling ring visible on her left hand. In that moment the engagement went from private to official.
In her interview, Cyrus admitted that keeping the proposal quiet until now was intentional. She said that as she gets older, she’s grown more protective of her privacy and more selective about what she shares publicly. She described the announcement as a personal milestone rather than a publicity move, underscoring how meaningful the moment was for her outside the spotlight.
Despite her larger-than-life career and high-profile past relationships, including a previous marriage, Cyrus says this engagement feels different. She described Morando as a private, steady presence whose quiet confidence and respect have brought her calm and clarity at a time when her life often feels public and chaotic.
With engagement now confirmed, fans and media alike are curious but Cyrus seems most excited about simply embracing the next chapter of her life. She called the ring “a perfect surprise” and hinted that the timing feels right. For her, this is less about glamour and more about genuine connection and mutual trust.
