Cyrus added that she and Morando definitely "dream as one." "Me and Maxx have been together for four years, and it's very obvious the drastic amount of growth that I've had in those four years ... and that really, a lot of that is because I have a great partner," she continued. "You just want to dream the biggest you can, and you want to have someone by your side that always tells you you can do it."
