Miley Cyrus is engaged to Maxx Morando, but she's still obsessed with hunky ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, and RadarOnline.com can reveal her fixation is just getting more intense as they both plan weddings in 2026.
On Dec. 2, it was announced 26-year-old drummer Morando had popped the question to the Wrecking Ball singer, 33, after four years of dating. It comes just three months after Hemsworth, 35, revealed he got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, 29-year-old model Gabriella Brooks.
Questionable Timing For Miley's Engagement
Maxx Morando proposed to Miley Cyrus after four years of dating.
"The timing of Miley's engagement to Maxx is very suspect," said a source. "She swears it has nothing to do with Liam getting engaged, but it's hard to believe that since she's still so obsessed with him.
"It is not that she doesn't love Maxx, she does. But as much as Miley has tried to move on, she's really had a tough time," said the insider.
The Hannah Montana alum was 17 when she and the Aussie hunk met on the set of the romantic drama film The Last Song in 2009. The two dated on and off before tying the knot in December 2018. But the marriage was short-lived and they were divorced by February 2020.
Miley's Reaction To Liam's News
Liam Hemsworth revealed his engagement to longtime girlfriend Gabriella Brooks months before Cyrus announced hers.
"She had a huge reaction when she found out Liam was getting married again and then suddenly, about two months later, she's also engaged," said the source.
"What's worse is she's been trying to pump everyone who knows Liam for information about his wedding," the source said. "It's so obvious that she wants to make sure to outdo him – she keeps trying to find out his date, his venue and who's on his guest list."
