During the interview, Cyrus, who is preparing for her upcoming album “Bass Persuades,” highlighted what makes Morando stand out among others. She remarked, “There’s a whole list of things. I can’t read you my vows,” playfully acknowledging the depth of her feelings. Cyrus elaborated that what initially attracted her to Morando was his “childlike wisdom,” which she believes signifies his brilliance.
Cyrus contrasted Morando with many prominent artists and producers she encounters, noting that many tend to lose their sense of curiosity and wonder as they gain experience. “He’s still curious and open-minded,” she said, indicating that Morando’s perspective shapes their musical partnership. This is particularly meaningful to her, given her inclination towards a genreless approach to music that values emotional resonance over strict classifications.
She shared a memorable conversation she had with Morando shortly after they met. In response to someone asking whether he listens to classic rock icons like Nirvana, Morando said he grew up on the music of Migos, asserting that, for him, they embody the essence of rock stars. This perspective resonated with Cyrus, who has always embraced the fluidity of genres in music.
Reflecting on their relationship, Cyrus revealed that she and Morando have been together for six years. She described this chapter of her life as something she has long desired, expressing hope that others might experience a love as rewarding as hers. “I don’t know if everybody gets to find their Maxx,” she said, hinting at the rarity of such a connection.
Their love story began when they were set up on a blind date, as Cyrus recounted in an interview with British Vogue. They made their first public appearance as a couple at the Gucci “Love Parade” fashion show in November 2021 and confirmed their relationship with a passionate kiss in April 2022.
The couple’s engagement became public knowledge on 2 December, when Cyrus was spotted wearing an engagement ring at the world premiere of “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” While the exact details of their engagement remained private for a while, Morando later revealed that he proposed during a trip to Kyoto, Japan, a destination both had longed to visit.
Describing the engagement moment, Morando recalled crossing a wooden plank to reach a beautiful yet secluded area. Despite initial hesitations from Cyrus about crossing a marked boundary, he persuaded her to explore. “That’s when I got on one knee and tapped her on the shoulder,” he recounted, describing a picturesque setting that made the moment even more special.
Cyrus, reflecting on the emotional day, admitted she nearly spoiled the surprise by attempting to search Morando for the ring. Fortunately, her suspicions did not ruin the occasion, and she was taken aback when he presented the ring, saying, “You’re the love of my life. Will you marry me?” She relayed, “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I almost botched it.’”
Cyrus has previously been married to actor Liam Hemsworth, with whom she tied the knot in December 2018, only to separate less than a year later in August 2019. Their divorce was finalised in January 2020, making her current engagement with Morando a testament to her journey toward finding a meaningful partnership.
As Cyrus moves forward with her life and music career, her relationship with Morando appears to be a source of inspiration and joy, offering her fans a glimpse into the depths of her love for her fiancé.
