Miley Cyrus ' boyfriend Maxx Morando made a rare appearance Tuesday night as he stepped out to support the singer at her star-studded album listening party.
The Grammy winner, 32 — who's gearing up to release her ninth studio album Something Beautiful on May 30 — has been quietly dating the Lilly drummer since 2021.
Maxx was seen leaving the Chateau Marmont with Miley after she delivered a fiery live performance previewing tracks from the upcoming record.
With his signature long, curly black hair on full display, the musician took the wheel as Miley rode shotgun, chatting animatedly with an unidentified acquaintance in the back seat.
While A-listers like U2's Bono, Rita Ora, and Anya Taylor-Joy were among the big names in attendance, Miley's mom Tish and sister Brandi also made the guest list — despite recent family tension.

Maxx's public outing comes on the heels of his surprise cameo in the music video for Miley's latest single, End of the World.
Despite keeping a low profile for most of their relationship, the couple has slowly become more visible in recent months.
In March, Miley and Maxx made a rare red carpet appearance at the 97th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, later turning heads at the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
Just weeks earlier, the pair were also spotted in New York City attending the SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, and later, the Homecoming Concert — where they were joined by Miley's mom Tish.
Their increasingly frequent public appearances have fueled speculation that the two may be ready to take their relationship to the next level — though neither has commented on what the future holds.
And Cyrus has also been open about their six-year age gap and told Harper's Bazaar last year, 'He 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...Honestly, he's raised our dog off Reddit.'
The Flowers hitmaker added, '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.'

Earlier this month, Miley out about where she stands with Tish and dad Billy Ray Cyrus, after months of speculation surrounding a rumored family rift.
The pop superstar had found herself in the middle of ongoing drama—just a day earlier, she reunited with Billy Ray, who has stirred headlines with pointed social media posts and a whirlwind romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley.
Meanwhile, Miley's mom Tish came under fire after fans noticed she had seemingly unfollowed her daughter on Instagram —a move she later denied.
The moment followed Tish's own reconciliation with daughter Noah Cyrus after their much-discussed falling out.
Miley took to Instagram to shut down the rumors and set the record straight.
'I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,' Miley wrote in a statement on her Instagram Story.
'She's my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me — simple, coincidental and uninteresting.'
Miley also addressed her relationship with Billy Ray, 62, acknowledging their rocky past but insisting they're in a better place now.

'My dad and I have had our challenges over the years,' she continued. 'Now, in my 30s, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.'
She ended her post on a hopeful note, writing: 'Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.'
Miley also shared a heartwarming Instagram photo with her dad Billy Ray, as they came together to celebrate her brother Braison's 31st birthday.
The father-daughter duo looked to be in great spirits during the family gathering.
Speculation of a possible rift between Miley and Billy arose this year - and a few months earlier in March, a source told DailyMail.com that she is worried her father could ruin her music comeback.
