Miley Cyrus & Maxx Morando: 2026 Wedding Predictions

Miley Cyrus has been married once before — to Liam Hemsworth (December 2018, divorced January 2020). As of June 2026, no engagement or wedding plans have been announced with Maxx Morando. The couple has been together since 2021. Miley’s known aesthetic for a second ceremony would be deliberately unconventional — entertainment journalists consistently predict a small, private event rather than a headline wedding. UK searches for “Miley Cyrus wedding” continue to generate 8,000-12,000 monthly queries, driven by her UK fanbase and residual interest from the Liam Hemsworth-era coverage.

By Matt Ward, Editor at Weddings Hub. Search volume data from Google Keyword Planner (April 2026) for UK-localised “Miley Cyrus wedding” queries. Legal guidance on UK second marriages is drawn from the General Register Office’s current guidance and the Church of England’s Pastoral Measure 2020.

The Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando timeline

Miley Cyrus’s relationship history is unusually well-documented — her marriages and separations have generated sustained media coverage since her teen years.

The key dates:

• December 2018: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth married at their Tennessee farm. Miley wore a Vivienne Westwood halterneck gown. The ceremony was private, attended by close family only — approximately 30 guests.
• August 2019: The couple announced their separation after eight months of marriage. Miley cited irreconcilable differences.
• January 2020: Divorce finalised.
• 2020-2021: Relationships with Kaitlynn Carter (brief), then Cody Simpson (10 months). Both ended by mid-2021.
• November 2021: Miley and Maxx Morando photographed together at the Gucci Love Parade show in Los Angeles. First public appearance.
• 2022-2026: The relationship has continued without any official statements from either party — consistent with Miley’s post-2020 approach to privacy.

Maxx Morando (born 2002) is a musician — drummer for the LA garage-rock band Liily — and a visual artist. He is seven years younger than Miley. His public profile is low; he does not maintain active social media.

Why a second wedding matters differently

Miley’s first wedding was unusual precisely because it was understated: a private Tennessee house ceremony, a small guest list, and a relatively traditional gown. This was at odds with her public persona at the time — and that contrast was part of its power.

A second wedding, if it happens, will carry different emotional weight. Miley’s music since 2020 (notably “Flowers,” released January 2023) has been explicitly about self-determination and personal independence. A wedding now would need to be consistent with that public identity.

This points toward:

• A very small ceremony. Not a production — a statement of privacy.
• A non-traditional setting. Not a grand venue. Possibly her own property, or a friend’s home.
• A non-traditional dress. Not the Vivienne Westwood model again. Possibly a suit, or an archival rock-era piece.
• Minimal advance announcement. The couple might announce it after the fact — consistent with other celebrities who have used post-ceremony reveals rather than wedding-media cycles. Compare the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco approach of managing the reveal for maximum positive impact.

What Miley would wear — a style analysis

Miley’s fashion evolution since 2020 has moved toward a more refined, art-directed aesthetic. Key relationships:

Dolce & Gabbana. Miley has worn D&G multiple times for public events since 2022. The house’s maximalist southern Italian sensibility — embroidered silk, corsetry, Mediterranean richness — is a different kind of excess from her earlier Wrecking Ball-era styling.

Saint Laurent. Her album promotion for Endless Summer Vacation (2023) featured sustained Saint Laurent styling. The house’s lean, rock-inflected tailoring is consistent with what a second-wedding Miley suit might look like.

Vintage rock-era Halston. Miley’s love of 1970s-80s fashion has been a consistent through-line. A vintage Halston bias-cut gown — the disco era’s version of bridal — would be entirely on-brand and carry the right anti-establishment symbolism for a second marriage.

For UK brides taking inspiration from this aesthetic, the black wedding dresses guide and the bridal separates UK guide both cover the non-traditional bridal styles most consistent with Miley’s direction. The Juliet cap veils guide covers Old Hollywood bridal references for a different route to the same vintage-influenced aesthetic.

Second marriages in the UK — the legal picture

For UK readers who see themselves in Miley’s situation — planning a second marriage — the legal context is worth understanding clearly.

Civil ceremonies

A civil ceremony at a licensed venue in England and Wales has no restrictions on second marriages. You can marry at any licensed venue regardless of your previous marital status. The ceremony must be booked with the local register office and conducted by a registrar. Cost: £57-£90 for the registrar’s fee, plus venue hire.

Church of England

The Church of England’s guidance on second marriages is nuanced. Under the Church of England Pastoral Measure (revised 2020), clergy can choose to marry divorced people in church. Whether your local vicar will agree depends on them — it is not automatic. You will need to have an honest conversation. For the full legal picture, see our second-marriage church weddings UK guide.

Humanist ceremonies

Humanist ceremonies are not yet legally recognised in England and Wales (as of 2026 — see our legal reform guide for the current status of the Law Commission recommendations). For a legally valid second marriage via a humanist ceremony, you would need a civil registry appointment on the same day. Many couples do both — civil registration in the morning, humanist ceremony in the afternoon.

Cost implications

Second weddings in the UK tend to be smaller and less expensive than first weddings. Our average UK wedding cost data shows the national average at £21,990. Second weddings typically run 40-60% less, as couples prioritise fewer guests and personal meaning over scale.

The Maxx Morando factor — what his aesthetic suggests

Maxx Morando’s visual identity is LA rock-art: vintage band tees, utilitarian trousers, quality basics with a DIY sensibility. He is also a painter whose work has shown in Los Angeles galleries.

This is not the aesthetic of someone who will push for a grand wedding. His professional world — LA garage rock, visual art, small venues — is anti-spectacle by conviction.

For a couple who share this ethos, the most consistent prediction is: a private ceremony on their own timeline, possibly in California, possibly in Tennessee (echoing Miley’s first wedding location pattern), possibly somewhere entirely unexpected.

The UK angle remains: Miley has a UK fanbase that generates consistent search demand. Whether or not the wedding happens in the UK, the UK editorial coverage will be significant.

What UK brides can take from Miley’s approach

Whether or not Miley Cyrus marries Maxx Morando in 2026, her approach to personal identity in her wedding — both in 2018 and in whatever comes next — offers a template for UK brides who want something intentional rather than conventional.

The anti-spectacle private ceremony. Small guest lists (under 30), personal venue choices (your own home, a family property, a trusted private venue), and an announcement-after-the-fact approach. WeddingsHub’s best micro-wedding venues UK guide covers UK venues suited to 20-person intimate celebrations.

The non-traditional dress choice. A suit, a coloured gown, a vintage piece, or a dress from a non-bridal designer. The black wedding dresses trend and the bridal separates movement are both growing strongly in the UK for this reason.

The post-announcement. Several celebrity couples — Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift’s private relationship disclosures — have shown that controlling the announcement rather than the pre-wedding narrative gives couples more power over the story. UK couples increasingly choose not to advertise their wedding date in advance, sharing photographs afterwards rather than managing a guest social media strategy during the event.

What would Miley Cyrus wear to her own wedding?
