Personal life

Cyrus dated rapper Lil Xan from June to September 2018. Cyrus is known to be vocal about her mental health challenges. She experiences depression and anxiety, with panic attacks as part of the latter. She has stated she goes to therapy to address these challenges. Her music often relates to her struggles, such as in her EP Good Cry×Good Cry21 October 2018 · EPSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 6 tracks1Where Have You Been?2:392Mad at You3:463Good Cry3:184Punches4:135Sadness2:426Topanga (voice memo)3:07 with "Sadness" and "Topanga" and somber songs such as in her EP The End of Everything×THE END OF EVERYTHING15 May 2020 · EPSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 8 tracks1Ghost3:052I Got So High That I Saw Jesus3:383Liar2:534Lonely2:245Young & Sad3:106July2:367Wonder Years3:188The End of Everything2:56 with "July" and "Lonely×Lonely27 September 2019 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Lonely2:24".
In December 2020, Cyrus spoke out in support of the former One Direction member Harry Styles wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue after he had been criticized by conservative commentator Candace Owens. However, in doing this she called Owens a "nappy ass heaux," which briefly prompted backlash and scrutiny against Cyrus for using a racial term referring to Afro-centric hair texture. She subsequently issued an apology for using the term.
In June 2023, Cyrus announced her engagement to Pinkus, a German fashion designer.

Activism

In 2013, Cyrus used her 13th birthday as an opportunity to raise funds to ban the use of horse-drawn carriages in New York City. She has also worked with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), first appearing in an ad protesting the use of animal dissection in high school science classes instead of plastic models or virtual dissection programs, then in another supporting a SeaWorld boycott.

Philanthropy

In 2019, after the release of her single "Lonely×Lonely27 September 2019 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Lonely2:24", Noah teamed up with the Crystal Campaign and released a merchandising collection called The Lonely Collection in which funds were collected to benefit The Jed Foundation, a non-profit organization in the United States that exists to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for American teens and young adults. Later, Cyrus sold some of her old clothes on the Depop app, donating the proceeds to The Jed Foundation.
