Miley Cyrus Admits She Gets "So Cringed Out" Calling Maxx Morando Her Fiancé

Miley Cyrus is opening up about one of the more amusing side effects of her recent engagement—feeling awkward whenever she mentions her fiancé, musician Maxx Morando. In a recent interview, the 'Flowers' singer, who has been dating Morando for four years, disclosed that the term "fiancé" bothers her and even makes her feel "cringed out." While the couple are clearly happy and deeply in love, Cyrus' candid reaction to the term shows a refreshingly honest and relatable side of navigating life as a newly engaged celebrity. 

How Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando's Love Story Unfolded

The relationship between Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando started in 2021, allegedly on a blind date, and has continued steadily since then. Before truly embracing the spotlight as a couple, the pair gradually grew more vocal about their love over time, giving glimpses of their life together. Morando, a drummer for the band Liily, has been a supportive partner to Cyrus, blending his own vibrant musical identity with her pop superstar status.

The world first got a hint that something more was happening when Cyrus was seen wearing a diamond ring at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' in December 2025—where she also showcased her song 'Dream as One' on the film's soundtrack. The two were obviously engaged after that red carpet rendezvous and Cyrus's subsequent confirmation. To the pleasure of fans who had been following their developing romance, the singer announced the news in December 2025. 

Cyrus has stated that she wants to keep a lot of her personal life private despite the public's curiosity, preferring to concentrate on the significant elements of her relationship rather than the label itself. She said that their engagement came at the "perfect time" in her life, providing happiness and a fresh sense of connection that complemented her development both personally and artistically.

Why the Word "Fiancé" Feels Awkward to Miley?

Miley Cyrus acknowledges that she has a very realistic response to conventional relationship classifications, despite the fact that she obviously loves Maxx Morando and values their relationship. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards, Cyrus giggled while describing how uncomfortable it is for her to hear or pronounce the word "fiancé." "Oh, I get so cringed," she said, adding, "I'm kind of the dorkiest with stuff like that." Her reaction highlights how even major life moments can feel a bit surreal when put into words. 

Cyrus concentrates on how happy and organic their connection feels rather than worrying about the label. She linked her current joyful chapter in life to her creative work—including her music featured in 'Avatar'—and noted it "fell into my life at the perfect time."

Even if she might cringe at the word "fiancé," it's evident from her sincere description that she's embracing this new stage with humour and genuineness.  

According to reports, the pair is not hurrying into anything unduly conventional, such as a large wedding. Cyrus has made suggestions that they might think about eloping or celebrating their union in a way that seems special to them—individual, significant, and pressure-free. Regardless of the label, what matters most to Cyrus is living and loving in a way that feels true to her.
