It was recently reported that Maria Shriver was less than thrilled about her son's new romance with Miley Cyrus – not so, it seems. "It's untrue that Maria is unhappy," a source told People of Patrick Schwarzenegger's fledgling relationship with the pop star. "If Patrick's happy, she's happy." Maria is a hands-on mum to Patrick, 21, and her other three children with Arnold Schwarzenegger - Katherine, 24, Christina, 23 and 17-year-old Christopher – but she trusts their choices, the insider added.

A source had previously told Hollywoodlife.com that Maria is "very, very worried about the influence Miley's having on Patrick". "She fully believes that you become who you surround yourself with and she's always been so happy with the friends Patrick chooses, she never saw this coming." But it seems those reports were unfounded, and Maria has given her blessing to Patrick and Miley's romance - which seems to be going from strength-to-strength. The couple, rumoured to have been dating for a few months now, jetted out of LA together on Tuesday on a private plane bound for Miami.

"They were cute and affectionate together," an onlooker told People. "Patrick seems extremely happy." A source recently confirmed to E! News, "This is more than just a fling. They look like they are falling in love with each other." In fact Patrick has been smitten with the former Hannah Montana star for some time now. In 2011, he said his "girls for the future" included Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner, but concluded, "My eye, though, is set on Miley."
