Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger's romance is behind them now, but both are happily moving forward with their lives.
According to ENews, Miley is currently in a happy relationship with musician Maxx Morando, while Patrick is engaged to model Abby Champion, his longtime girlfriend.
Patrick recently shared that their wedding had to be pushed back because of his filming schedule for "The White Lotus."
But good news—the big day is now set for September, according to his dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
While Arnold has had kind things to say about Miley over the years, reports from 2014 hinted that Patrick's mom, Maria Shriver, wasn't quite as supportive of the relationship at the time.
