She’s Got Mom’s Seal of Approval — Tish Cyrus says she’s a big fan of her daughter Miley, who is dating Lily drummer Maxx Moranda, who the “Wrecking Ball” singer has been linked to since December 2021.

“He’s cute,” Tish tells PEOPLE, adding that she’s never seen her daughter happier: “I think you can tell she’s in an amazing place when she looks at Miley and her face and her smile at the Grammys and everything about her.”

He continues with a laugh, “Miley is just so fulfilled with her life and everything is working perfectly. That’s all I’ll say about Maxx!”

Tish, 56, and her eldest child Brandi Cyrus, 36, recently launched the fourth season of their podcast Sorry, we’re high where they discuss everything from family dynamics to Tish smoking weed and, yes, Miley, who just won her first two Grammys: Best Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year for her hit “Flowers.”

“Honestly, again, I think it’s so important how she feels inside,” Tish says, noting that Miley no longer drinks alcohol or smokes marijuana.

“I really don’t know if I’ve ever seen her happier. So I think it really just comes from within, and it has to do with growing up. She’s 31, so she’s just stepped into who she really is, and she’s just doing it.”
