Miley Cyrus Jokes She “Really Got Engaged” So Maxx Morando Could Handle Her Paper Phobia
Miley Cyrus has revealed more details about her well-known fear of paper — a phobia she’s discussed before — during a chaotic and humorous interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The appearance was reported by People and expanded upon by Harper’s Bazaar.
Cyrus described the fear as “totally irrational but totally real,” explaining she cannot open cardboard packaging, sort mail or handle stiff paper without physical discomfort. During the interview, she joked that getting engaged to Maxx Morando was partly practical, saying with a laugh: “He can open all the boxes now. That’s true commitment.”
The singer has referenced the phobia in past interviews but has leaned into humour this time, perhaps reflecting the more grounded personal era she’s entering. The segment went viral within hours, with fans sharing clips comparing the moment to her most memorable comedic interviews from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Her openness continues to resonate with fans who see Cyrus blending self-awareness and humour while navigating adulthood and major life changes.
