Getting mom’s approval on the men in your life is super important. There’s a new Instagram photo where Miley, her mom and the main man in her life are all smiles. So who is the mystery man?

It’s none other that producer Mike Will Made It, who helped craft her Bangerz album into a chart topper. Mike proudly posted the pic on his Instagram. While Miley and Mike have been rumored to be a couple – they were seen bumping and grinding together at Miley’s Bangerz album launch party in NYC this past fall — sources tell THE GOSSIP TABLE otherwise. “He sees her more like a protégé” one insider clarifies.
