Miley Cyrus is proudly embracing her inner “cougar” — and she’s not alone. The Grammy Award-winning singer joined her mom, Tish Cyrus, and sister Brandi Cyrus on a new episode of their podcast Sorry We’re Cyrus, where the trio opened up about their younger partners and had some playful laughs at their own expense.
Now 32, Miley has been dating Maxx Morando, 26, since 2021. She reflected on their age difference during the lighthearted conversation, joking, “Am I the landslide? Is mine the most?” Her mom and sister agreed — confirming that Miley holds the title for the widest age gap among the three Cyrus women.

“We’re All Cougars!”
The conversation started when Brandi, 38, who is currently dating 36-year-old Matt South, asked:
“What does it say about the three of us that technically we are all cougars?”
Without missing a beat, Miley quipped:
“So many things!”
Their mom, Tish, 58, who married Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, 55, in 2023, also joined in on the joke. But Miley’s five-year gap with Maxx stood out the most.

A Special Bond with Maxx
Miley shared sweet insights into her relationship with Maxx, the drummer for alt-rock band Liily, revealing they first connected on a blind date and bonded over music. She spoke fondly of his personality — and zodiac sign.
“He’s a Scorpio… that’s what makes him so cool because he can sting. You think they’re little angels until it turns around and they’ve got a sting.”
Despite the age difference, Miley says their connection is strong — and even timing feels symbolic. She reflected on how she turned her own life around at 27 and is excited for Maxx to reach that milestone.
“That was such a great year for me… I’m just hoping that as long as he follows in my footsteps, everything is gonna be great.”

“I Couldn’t Be With Someone Who Doesn’t Sting”
Miley also noted that Maxx’s edge is essential for her.
“I couldn’t be with someone that doesn’t sting. They would’ve been toast already.”

While the Cyrus women poked fun at their “cougar” status, the conversation revealed a deeper thread — one of growth, self-awareness, and finding love that fits, no matter the age difference.
