The "Flowers" singer, 31, and the Liily drummer, 25, are living together, a source tells PEOPLE.

"She is very happy with him," the source says.

Adds the source: “Miley has changed a lot in the past couple of years. She seems more calm and harmonious. Everyone loves Maxx. He’s a great guy. She is very happy with him. He’s private and doesn’t like being in the press. It’s been good for her.”

Cyrus won big at the 66th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, taking home her first and second Grammy for best pop solo performance and record of the year (both for "Flowers"). She also took the stage for her debut performance of the smash hit, during which she sported a bedazzled silver look, channeling the late icon Tina Turner.

Cyrus gave her boyfriend a sweet shoutout as she took home record of the year for "Flowers." In addition to showing gratitude for her team, the "Wrecking Ball" artist thanked her mom Tish and sister Brandi, who sat in the audience, as well as Morando, whom she called "my love."

At the event, the couple was photographed sharing a kiss as they sat together during the ceremony with Cyrus' family.
