In a world where celebrity gossip travels fast—especially when it involves family drama—Miley Cyrus is stepping in to clear the air.
The pop superstar, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, decided it was time to speak up about the swirling rumours concerning her relationship with her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus.
And instead of letting speculation fester, she offered something refreshing: honesty, vulnerability, and a reminder that even famous families are, well, just families.
Miley Shares the Truth About Her Bond With Tish
Miley took to Instagram Stories on 10 May to set things straight.
While she rarely addresses speculation, this time she made an exception—because it involved someone very close to her heart: her mom.
“I seldom comment on speculation, but my mum and I share a bond that nothing could ever disrupt,” Miley wrote. “She is my best friend.”
The rumour mill kicked up when fans noticed Tish had briefly unfollowed Miley on Instagram.
Naturally, that sparked questions about a possible fallout.
But Miley brushed it off as a tech blip—something that could happen to anyone.
“It’s not worth worrying about,” she reassured fans.
Even Tish chimed in herself, confirming that the unfollow was unintentional and that she and Miley remain incredibly close.
Clearing the Air About Billy Ray
As for her relationship with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, things have been a bit more complex.
Some fans raised eyebrows when Miley didn’t mention him during her acceptance speech at the 2024 Grammys, sparking theories of a deeper rift.
Miley didn’t shy away from addressing it. She acknowledged, “Billy Ray and I have faced challenges over the years.”
But she quickly followed that up with something hopeful.
“As I enter my thirties, I find solace in knowing we have rebuilt bridges. Time has helped us heal.”
It’s a sentiment many can relate to—how time and understanding can mend even the most strained relationships.
A Family That’s Still Evolving
Miley’s honesty reflects something universal. Families aren’t perfect.
They change, grow, and sometimes fall apart before coming back together again.
Billy Ray’s recent birthday tribute to his son Braison—which included Miley and her boyfriend Maxx Morando—was a small but significant sign that healing is underway.
The Cyrus family has been through a lot. Billy Ray and Tish married in 1993 and raised five children together, including Miley and her younger sister Noah.
Their marriage officially ended in 2020 after nearly three decades.
Since then, both have moved on with new partners, adding new dynamics to an already complex family.
New Relationships and Mixed Emotions
Both of Miley’s parents have started fresh chapters in their personal lives.
Billy Ray married Australian singer Firerose, while Tish tied the knot with actor Dominic Purcell.
And Miley has been nothing but supportive—especially of her mom’s new relationship.
“Seeing my mum this joyful is very moving,” she shared.
“Dom and my mum share the most genuine love.”
Her relationship with her father, however, hasn’t been as straightforward.
While there have been moments of tension and emotional distance, there are also moments of warmth.
Billy Ray has publicly praised Miley and Noah’s music, calling them his “pride and joy.”
Hope for Reconciliation Among Siblings
Other family members have shared their thoughts too.
Miley’s older brother, Trace Cyrus, has spoken out about his concerns for their dad, but also expressed hope that the family can continue healing and reconnecting.
While there may be bumps along the way, the Cyrus family story is far from over—and it’s one that many fans are rooting for.
Love, Growth, and Moving Forward
At the heart of it all, Miley’s message was a reminder that family—no matter how complicated—is built on love, resilience, and growth.
“I am thankful for the love and good health that surrounds my family,” she said in closing.
For fans, it’s a much-needed break from the drama.
Instead of fuelling rumours, Miley chose to be real, and in doing so, reminded us all that it’s okay to grow, forgive, and move forward.
