Miley Cyrus on Being “Cougar” in Maxx Morando Romance

Miley Cyrus thinks there’s something beautiful about the age difference in her romance. 

After her sister Brandi Cyrus joked that they are both “cougars” in their relationships, the “Flowers” singer got candid about why she doesn’t mind the descriptor, sharing that she enjoys being older than her boyfriend Maxx Morando.

“He will be 27 when I turn 33,” Miley told Brandi—whose boyfriend Matt Southcombe is one year her junior—during a June 19 appearance on the Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast, “which I’m so excited for him to turn 27 ‘cause that was such a great year for me.” 

And the Grammy winner joked that Maxx—who she was first linked to in 2021—was fortunate to have a great example to look to as he heads into a new chapter. 

“I’m just hoping that, as long as he follows in my footsteps, everything is going to be great,” Miley quipped. “That’s right when I started turning my life around.”
