Last year, Cyrus touched on the couple's six-year age difference in a November 2024 interview withHarper's Bazaar. She said their age gap works because they "justdon't take life too seriously," though she noted that Morando "looks at life really differently than I do."
"He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters," she explained. "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.' "
A source told PEOPLE in March 2024 that the two had taken a big step in their relationship and wereliving together.
