Arnold Schwarzenegger calls Miley Cyrus 'a wonderful houseguest'

During the Monday, June 23 episode of 'Watch What Happens Live', Schwarzenegger shared how much he enjoyed having Cyrus around while she briefly dated his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Even though Patrick has since moved on and is now engaged, Schwarzenegger made it clear he still remembers Cyrus warmly.

Patrick got engaged to model Abby Champion in December 2023 after eight years of dating.

“Patrick, in the meantime, found another girl that he got engaged to and he’s getting married to in September,” Schwarzenegger shared.

Miley Cyrus looks ahead with Maxx Morando

Cyrus' relationship with Patrick took place during a brief break from her on-and-off romance with Liam Hemsworth.

The couple first met on the set of 'The Last Song' in 2010, got engaged in 2012, and split in 2013. They later reconciled in 2016, married in December 2018, and ultimately divorced in 2020.

Since 2021, Cyrus has been dating musician Maxx Morando.

“He will be 27 when I turn 33, which I’m so excited for, because 27 was such a great year for me,” she said during her June 19 appearance on the 'Sorry We’re Cyrus' podcast, as reported by OK!.

“I’m just hoping that, as long as he follows in my footsteps, everything is going to be great. That’s right, when I started turning my life around.”

Patrick and Abby began dating shortly after his breakup with Cyrus and have remained together ever since, officially getting engaged in 2023.
