Miley Cyrus isn’t going to let anyone take a wrecking ball to her privacy.
The “Flowers” singer broke her silence after news of her engagement to Maxx Morando was confirmed on Dec. 2 following four years of dating, admitting that she’s “astounded” they’ve been able to keep most of the details out of the public eye.
“The detail I can share is that, for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have,” Miley explained to People in an interview published Dec. 2, “and being able to kind of have more choice.”
And the 33-year-old partly credits her age with being able to set boundaries when it comes to her romance with Maxx, 27. As she put it, “It’s also being older, being more protective of what I’m open to sharing.”
And that’s not the only aspect of their relationship that she’s proud of. For Miley—who finalized her divorce from Liam Hemsworth in 2020, less than two years after their California home burned down in the Malibu fires—meeting and falling in love with Maxx in 2021 proved her capacity for “starting over” and “building again.”
