Miley Cyrus' Relationship With Boyfriend at Risk Over Ex Divorce, ‘Source' Claims
' love life has always been a controversial topic among fans. Currently, the pop star is dating drummer Maxx Morando and is reportedly in love with him. However, a source told Radar Online that her failed marriage with Liam Hemsworth became the reason for keeping Morando 'at arm's length.' The report suggested that it has become an obstacle in their relationship. Miley Cyrus had a bittersweet relationship with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. They got engaged twice and married in 2018. In less than a year, they parted ways in 2019 and finalized their divorce the following year. While it seemed Cyrus closed Hemsworth's chapter, her current boyfriend, Maxx Morando, reportedly thinks otherwise. According to Radar Online, the drummer would walk away from the relationship if the 'Flowers' singer continued to obsess over her ex-husband. Additionally, a source told the tabloid, 'He claims she's moved on, but that doesn't really measure up to the way she acts.' The insider further mentioned that the popstar reportedly 'gets upset' seeing Hemsworth and his girlfriend Gabriella Brooks' photos online. Moreover, Cyrus might be against the idea of marriage after her divorce. 'She's still so bitter about the divorce she can't even fathom the idea of getting married again. She says she's in love with Maxx, but in a lot of ways she keeps him at arm's length,' they added. According to the source, Morando had not yet proposed to the singer because she has allegedly not moved on. The drummer has seemingly 'had enough of taking a backseat' and is 'drawing a line' to matters related to Hemsworth. Cyrus and Morando met on a blind date in the summer of 2021. In a 2024 interview with Harper's Bazaar, the Disney star opened up about her beau. She said, 'He's very similar to me. We just don't take life too seriously.'

RHOA Season 16 Reunion Seating Chart Revealed; Brit Eady Won't Attend
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta kicked off with the chaotic storyline of Brit Eady feuding with Kenya Moore. We all cringed through the pistol comment that led to the salacious hair spa reveal. If you were hoping to get some closure at the reunion, too bad. Bravo just dropped the RHOA Season 16 reunion seating chart, and Brit is nowhere to be found. Kenya already told us she had been disinvited. It's no shock to see her missing from the seating chart. She didn't even get a cast photo this year. Brit's absence, on the other hand, has left fans with a whole lot of questions. There is a lot to take in with the RHOA Season 16 reunion seating chart. Porsha grabbed the first seat on Andy Cohen's right. Phaedra Parks, who just popped up in Episode 12, is sitting next to Porsha. Then, it's Cynthia 'Cheek Bones' Bailey, who has been out this season as a Friend. At this point, they might as well have given her a peach, too. Meanwhile, on Andy's left side, there's everyone else. Shamea Morton Mwangi snagged the first seat, ready to face off with her on-again, off-again bestie. Maybe Porsha and Shamea's moms can show up and settle their differences, too. Working your way down Andy's left, there's Angela Oakley and Kelli Ferrell. The producers plopped Drew Sidora on the very end of the couch. It's an odd placement, considering how much this season focused on her feud with Porsha and her messy divorce. There's no word on why Brit did not attend the reunion. Perhaps she didn't want to get grilled about the questionable status of her insurance license or why she didn't serve any food at the Country Club Classic. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for a statement from her. In the meantime, we'll be over here mourning what could have been a brilliant comeback season for The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The long-awaited reboot will end without any closure to its biggest storyline. The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues on Bravo on Sundays at 8/7c and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RHOA SEASON 16 REUNION SEATING CHART? WHY DO YOU THINK BRIT SKIPPED THE REUNION? The post RHOA Season 16 Reunion Seating Chart Revealed; Brit Eady Won't Attend appeared first on Reality Tea.
