Miley Cyrus sparked wedding rumours when she stepped out in Hollywood with what appeared to be an engagement ring.
The singing superstar attended the Avatar: Fire and Ash premier in Los Angeles on Monday December 1, alongside her new boyfriend Maxx Morando, after penning a song for the film.
But the appearance of the pair on the red carpet have set the rumour mill into overdrive as she appeared to be sporting an engagement ring on her wedding finger.
Miley, 33, was photographed cozying up to Morando, 27, for the cameras and beamed for photos as they made their way inside the Dolby Theatre.
And it is not the first time we have seen the sparkler on her finger, with the Grammy Award winner also wearing the ring in recent snaps shared to Instagram to mark her 33rd birthday.

The pair have been dating since 2021 following her divorce from Liam Hemsworth, who she was in an on/off relationship with for over a decade.
Here is what we know about him:
Who is Maxx Morando?
Maxx Morando is a musician and fashion designer who is mostly famous over in America, best known as the drummer for the band Liily.
He also previously played drums for the band The Regrettes.
How did Miley and Maxx meet?
The pair met on a blind date in 2021 and have been together ever since in both a professional and personal level.
“Well, it was blind for me and not really for him,” she told British Vogue in an interview in 2023, adding: “I thought, 'The worst that can happen is I leave.''
They moved in together in Malibu in 2024 after years of dating and have merged their talents in recent years.
Morando collaborated with Miley on her album Endless Summer Vacation. Its is also said he has designed outfits for her through his other role as a designer.
They confirmed their relationship in 2021, after months of being spotted together at events.
It was two years after Miley had finalised her divorce from her ex Liam Hemsworth.
It is said Maxx and Miley prefer to keep their relationship “low key” and they do not often talk about their partnership in public very often.
What is the age gap between Miley and Maxx?
During interviews, Miley has previously jokingly referred to herself a 'cougar' for dating Morando, who is six years younger than her.
Maxx is 27 to Miley’s 33 but the age gap is seen as a positive thing by the stars.
In November 2024, Cyrus told Harper's Bazaar that their age difference works since they "just don’t take life too seriously.”
Though she also admitted there are definitely generational differences between the pair, saying that he "looks at life really differently than I do."
She said in the interview: "He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters," she said. "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.' "
“He's very similar to me. We just don't take life too seriously.”
