Miley Cyrus Reveals Bizarre Phobia And Engagement Strategy On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Her Phobia

Miley Cyrus is back at it again with her candid revelations, this time making waves on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On December 4, the 33-year-old pop sensation took the stage and brought a chuckle as she discussed her engagement to musician Maxx Morando. But it wasn't just wedding bells she was talking about – it was her peculiar fear of paper that had everyone talking.

Cyrus confessed to having a long-standing phobia of paper, which takes over her life, especially during the Christmas season. Describing herself as a "Grinch" when it comes to the holiday, she explained, "The real problem for me with paper is when people have dry hands and they touch paper and then it’s Christmas and it’s cold and everyone’s hands are dry and they’re all touching paper."

“That’s really why I got engaged because I just make my fiancé open all the packages outside,” she teased, hinting that Maxx Morando is her knight in shining armor when it comes to dealing with her phobia.

The Engagement Angle

Miley's chat with Kimmel took an amusing turn as they delved into her engagement. While she’s over the moon about it, she joked that the engagement doubles as a practical solution to her phobia. The quirky conversation didn’t end there – Cyrus cracked a few jokes about anniversary traditions, showing no interest in the traditional paper gifts.

Indeed, PEOPLE confirmed the engagement earlier this week, adding a dash of romance to the star's life, amidst her comedic takes. She elaborated that her future husband, Maxx, is her trusty paper-handler, especially when dealing with the dreaded Amazon boxes and the like.

A Peek Behind the Phobia

It seems Cyrus' fear stretches back to childhood road trips, where her siblings would torment her with paper rubbing. Nowadays, she's moving forward in life with a partner who understands and supports her. "I love stockings and anything that I want is usually pretty small and it can fit perfectly fine within a silk stocking – no paper," she lightheartedly said.

An insider shared that Cyrus is "thrilled" about the engagement, living "exactly the life she wanted." The ring, described as having a "cool, boho-rock vibe," suits Cyrus’ unique style. With holiday season festivities looming, it's clear that for Miley, silk stockings and love are the way to go – paper not included!
