Miley Cyrus confirmed her engagement to Maxx Morando in a gushing interview this week, noting that her personal and professional lives have become “perfectly aligned.”

Appearing on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, Cyrus happily showed off her engagement ring and said her new fiance surprised her by popping the question during a recent trip to Japan.

“I am not easy to surprise because I love to control every situation and I had completely given up,” he said. “I had never actually been to Japan, and I did it on purpose. I wanted a place in the world that could be my special place that I would keep to myself.”

He went on to note, “Maxx and I have been together for four years, and it’s very obvious the drastic growth I’ve had in those four years. You just want to dream as big as you can and have someone by your side who will always tell you, ‘You can do it.'”

The three-time Grammy winner’s appearance on “GMA” comes days after she and Morando, drummer for the rock band Liily, sparked engagement rumors when they walked the red carpet at the premiere of “Avatar: Fire and Ash” in Los Angeles.

Many outlets took note of Cyrus’ engagement ring, which was later revealed to have been designed by Jacquie Aiche, who has also created exclusive pieces for Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, among other stars.

Cyrus and Morando seemingly confirmed their relationship in April 2022, even though they had been romantically linked in the media for months prior. Morando and her Liily bandmates would appear on the NBC Christmas special “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party”, hosted by Cyrus. The pair also worked together in the studio on “Something Beautiful,” Cyrus’ latest album.

In 2023, Cyrus told British Vogue that she and Morando had been introduced on a blind date. “Well, for me it was blind and not so much for him,” he said at the time. “I thought, ‘The worst thing that can happen is that I leave.’”

Last year, she told Harper’s Bazaar that falling in love with one of her professional collaborators came naturally: “I’ve worked with my dad forever. That’s how my ex-husband and I met. I’ve always worked with the people I love. And Maxx inspires me a lot.”

Elsewhere in her “GMA” chat, Cyrus noted that “Dream as One,” her theme song from “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” reflected her current mindset.

“People think it’s a movie that’s larger than life on this grand scale, but really, at the heart of ‘Avatar,’ it’s really about relationships, love, supporting each other,” he said. “And so I really felt very aligned with my life.”
