Family Approves Patrick Schwarzenegger – Miley Cyrus Relation, Couple To Meet On New Year

Miley Cyrus appears to be in a serious relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger for some time. Patrick's family has recently expressed what they think about the latest romantic interest of their boy.

Miley and Patrick recently came across one of the members of the latter's family during their vacation in Miami. Patrick's uncle, Anthony Shriver, met the couple and said what the family had felt about the "Wrecking Ball" singer. Shriver is the founder-chairman of "Best Buddies" which is an international non-profit working on friendships and employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

According to E! News, Patrick's family has approved of his relation with the girl who is typically known for her unique style and wild antics. Shriver happened to be the person to confirm the approval. According to a source, the uncle "had a great time hanging out" with the couple during Art Basel. Shriver apparently said that his nephew's girl was "a lot of fun." He also said that the family was OK about the relation. "As far as he's concerned, the family has no problem with her," the source said.

Even though one may wonder if the approval of the uncle was enough for the couple to get the final approval from the family, a source said that Patrick's mother, Maria, also said what she felt about Miley. Maria apparently said that she considered Miley as a "very nice girl" and would not have any objection if the relation went further. One family insider has said that Patrick's mother likes the pop diva. With the approval of the mother of the boy, the relation between the two seems to be getting more serious. According one source, when Miley and Patrick attended a charity event at Brooks Brothers in Beverly Hills, they looked intimate. However, they apparently wanted to keep it a secret as they did not allow their photos to be taken while they were holding hands.

Even though things look pretty steady for the couple, it was recently rumoured that the couple had broken up. The speculation was initiated as Miley posted sad lyrics on social networking Web sites. Fans became worried as they did not find the couple photographed since the early part of December. However, a HollywoodLife.com source said that everything was "great" between the couple. They wanted to meet on Christmas, the source said, but they might not be able to do it. They may get together on New Year in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, when they are not together, they reportedly use FaceTime and talk over the phone.
