Miley Cyrus Reveals Her One Fear About Marrying Maxx Morando

What if the ick comes in like a wrecking ball?

That's basically what Miley Cyrus asked fiancé Maxx Morando following their engagement in 2025 after six years of dating.

"We've been together six years, and I've never gotten the ick," the Hannah Montana star told Zane Lowe in an interview shared by Apple Music Sept. 17. "All of a sudden I got in my head, I was like, ‘Oh my God, we’re about to get married. What if I get the ick?'"

And the Liily drummer—who first met Cyrus on a blind date that ultimately turned into wedding planning—had an answer that proved he was already husband material.

"I asked him, 'What happens if you get the ick once you’re married?'" the "Wrecking Ball" artist continued. "He’s like, 'You deal with it and you move on and you don’t be a baby. The ick is for when you’re in fifth grade.'"

And soon after, Cyrus was forced to put her partner's words to the test when he displayed a behavior she found not-so-flattering.

"He did something that icked me for a minute," the Can't Be Tamed singer recounted with a laugh. "I was like, 'Don't ever do that again. It gave me the ick.'"

While she didn’t disclose what behavior put her off, the Grammy winner admitted there’s something she's done that ruffled Morando's feathers in turn.

"He said, 'When you’re a brat,' which is so true. I’m so icky when I’m a brat," Cyrus confessed, elaborating that when she's not in charge, she can get "really stinky about it."  

However, despite the lighthearted turn-offs, the songwriter knows that what she loves about the 27-year-old is far more important.

"What I also love is I’m not totally the boss in our house," Cyrus said. "It's like a sense of relief that I can actually soften into, because he’s going to watch this and be like, 'You’re not the boss. We’re both the boss.'"

And with that mutual respect at the core of their relationship, they can focus on having fun together, which makes the 33-year-old excited for marriage.

As she put it, "I think that’s the thing that maybe generations prior didn’t teach us, that marriage doesn’t need to be a prison. It can actually be a playground."

Miley Cyrus and musician Maxx Morando began dating in 2021. "We got put on a blind date," she recalled to British Vogue in 2023. "Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, 'The worst that can happen is I leave.'"

Miley didn't leave and, as their romance blossomed, the pair went red carpet official at the Gucci Love Parade event on November 2, 2021.
