Once a Disney Channel darling, Miley Cyrus has evolved into a multi-hyphenate Hollywood powerhouse.

The star, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, got her famous nickname from how often she smiled as a kid, leading her family to call her "Smiley Miley."

Years later, Miley began starring as Hannah Montana on the titular Disney sitcom about a normal teen leading a secret double life as a pop star. The series, which also starred her real-life dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, quickly propelled Miley to international fame.

After Hannah Montana wrapped up in 2011, Miley kicked off a successful music career with hits like Party in the USA, We Can't Stop, and Wrecking Ball.

While her wild post-Disney image sparked some controversy, Miley's talent has continued to keep her in the spotlight.

In 2024, she won her first Grammy Award for her smash-hit single Flowers, which was named Record of the Year.

Outside of her professional life, Miley has made headlines with some high-profile romances – including her short-lived marriage to actor Liam Hemsworth – before settling down with her current beau, musician Maxx Morando.
