Miley Cyrus shared a rare glimpse into her private relationship with producer and drummer Maxx Morando. She reflected on their small age gap, describing her beau as her “Gen Z internet interpreter.” Miley further praised his creative influence on her music, including their collaboration on her upcoming album, Something Beautiful.

Highlights
  • Miley Cyrus shares rare insight into relationship with Maxx Morando.
  • Their collaboration on album 'Something Beautiful' is set for 2025.
  • Miley describes Maxx as her 'Gen Z internet interpreter.'

Miley, who celebrates her 32nd birthday this month, commented on the age difference between herself and 26-year-old Maxx.

The Flowers hitmaker told Harper’s Bazaar on Wednesday (November 20): “He looks at life really differently than I do.

“He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters.  Honestly, he’s raised our dog off Reddit.”

    “I’m like, ‘Are you sure we’re supposed to be doing this?’ And he’s like, ‘On Reddit, it says blah, blah, blah’.”

    After years of publicized romances, Miley has kept her low-key, cozy relationship with Maxx, whom she has been dating for several years, relatively private.

    The Disney Channel alumnus revealed: “He’s very similar to me. We just don’t take life too seriously.”

    Miley reportedly said that her boyfriend has introduced her to all sorts of new music. The Hannah Montana star admitted that it was because of Maxx that she has “the coolest kid in Brooklyn’s music” on her phone.

    Nevertheless, Miley further stated that as a couple, they are just as likely to sit around listening to “a song that we think is kind of cringe, but we love it.” She mentioned the early-2000s hit Drops of Jupiter, as an example. 

    Maxx and the starlet have been working together on her upcoming album, as Maxx produced multiple songs and helped her write Something Beautiful, which is currently slated to be the title track.

    Miley told the outlet: “I worked with my dad forever. That’s how me and my ex-husband met each other. 

    “I’ve always worked with the people that I love. And Maxx just inspires me so much.”

    Miley’s recent revelations about the slight age gap in her relationship left many unfazed, as a Facebook user commented: “Six years is nothing unless she’s babysitting a 10-year-old.”

    A person commented: “But 6 years is nothing!!! Nada!!! I [used] to date someone 10 years younger than [me]. 

    “His father wouldn’t have it. So I actually broke it off cause the old man was gonna [have] a heart attack. Until this day that younger man was the most mature man I dated.”

    Someone else penned: “My boyfriend is 7 years younger than me. As long as you’re adults who cares.”

    “My husband and I have a 14-year difference in age. I am older,” a netizen revealed.

    A commentator shared: “My last husband of 24 years was 10 years younger than me. My boyfriend now of 13 years is 9 years younger.”

    A cybernaut noted: “Their relationship doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else but themselves.”

    Miley further praised his creative influence on her music, including their collaboration on her upcoming album, Something Beautiful

    A separate individual chimed in: “We’d never be discussing a 32-year-old man dating a 26-year-old woman.”

    The Grammy winner also told Harper’s Bazaar what she had tapped for inspiration while working on Something Beautiful throughout the past six or seven months — including an iconic rock film that she first experienced as a teen.

    Miley said: “It was inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall.” Moreover, she recalled that she first watched the 1982 surrealist film with a friend and one of her brothers.

    Something Beautiful draws inspiration from 1970s rock star aesthetics and the visually striking 2018 horror film Mandy, one of her favorites, Miley revealed.

    The Tennessee native said: “It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.

    “It was important for me that every song has these healing sound properties. 

    “The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty

    “They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast.”

    Although a specific release date has not been announced, Something Beautiful is expected to arrive in 2025.

    “Just her kind of guy,” a reader commented

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    6 years? Hardly an age gap at all. It is not as if one is in their teens and the other their mid 20's.

    Typical sexist bs. If it was the other way around it would be unheard of in Hollywood, it's usually a 20 years younger women. When Humphrey Bogart met and fell in love with Lauren Bacal he was 44 and she was 19. Just ask Leo DeCaprio
