Miley Cyrus revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in May 2025 that she has a severe phobia of dry paper, which triggers anxiety and physical discomfort, especially during holidays. She avoids wrapping paper, cardboard, and books, relying on fiancé Maxx Morando to open packages outside. The fear, linked to dry winter air, has led her to prefer digital communication and e-readers. The engagement, confirmed in December 2025, follows four years of dating and has been marked by her candid, humorous take on the condition.
