Los Angeles, July 13 (IANS): Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell has confirmed she's in a relationship with Miley Cyrus and referred to her as her "lady".

Cyrus, 22, was first rumoured to be dating the 24-year-old model last month, after they met through mutual friends. Maxwell has now acknowledged the romance, referring to Cyrus as her partner, on photo-sharing website Instagram, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
