Something to sing about! Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando’s relationship is heating up.
The two musicians were first romantically linked after they were spotted dancing at Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party special in January 2022. During the broadcast, which she cohosted with Pete Davidson, Cyrus sang a new track titled “You,” which many fans believe is about Morando.
“I got some baggage / Let’s do some damage / I am not made for no horsey and carriage / You know I’m savage / You’re looking past it,” the lyrics read. “I want that late-night sweet magic / That forever lasting love / But only if it’s with you.”
Several weeks later, an insider told Us Weekly that the duo were in a “new relationship.”
“They’re still getting to know each other at the moment,” the insider said in March 2022. “They’re having fun and have been spending a lot of time together.” The source added that the pair, who have a six-year age difference, are “very compatible with each other.”
