Miley Cyrus Talks Love, Music, And The 6-Year Age Gap That’s Perfect For Her And Maxx Morando

Miley Cyrus has spent years acting like her personal life is sealed in a vault, but a recent Harper’s Bazaar interview cracked the door open just enough to peek inside. And instead of the usual red carpet mystery, she gave fans the most specific kind of detail: how her relationship works, down to the way Maxx Morando thinks.

The twist is the six-year age gap, which sounds like it should complicate things, but Miley frames it like their secret ingredient. She calls Maxx her “Gen Z internet interpreter,” explains that he grew up with a laptop while she shared a desktop with her siblings, and even joked he’s the one who helped “raise” their dog with Reddit advice.

Then she went even further, tying that whole vibe to her music, because Maxx is producing and co-writing her upcoming album Something Beautiful, including the title track.

“He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters,” Miley shared. In fact, she joked that Maxx was so immersed in the internet age that he even raised their dog with advice from Reddit.
