Billy Ray Cyrus reaches out to Miley Cyrus after she breaks silence on supposed feud

Billy Ray Cyrus has insisted that he is “so proud” of his daughter Miley just hours after she spoke out about their supposed feud.

Billy Ray Cyrus has insisted that he is “so proud” of his daughter Miley.

The 63-year-old country music singer is the father of pop superstar Miley, 32, with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus and took to social media on Sunday (01.06.25) to congratulate her on the release of her new album ‘Something Beautiful’.

He wrote on Instagram: “So proud of you Mile!!!! @mileycyrus”

Miley shot to fame alongside her already-famous father when she was cast in the title role of ‘Hannah Montana’ in the late 2000s, and he was then cast as her on-screen dad.

But over the last few years, the ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ hitmaker is thought to have been in something of a feud with his daughter after he left Tish and married Firerose, whom he divorced after less than a year of marriage.

Tish went on to Dominic Purcell, and Billy Ray – who also has Braison, 31, and Noah, 25, with Tish as well as Christopher, 33, from a previous relationship – recently struck up a relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley.

And, the congratulatory post came just hours after Miley broke her silence on the supposed rift and admitted that she can “can love both [of her parents] as individuals” now that they are settled into their own new relationships.

She told the New York Times: “I think timing is everything. As I’ve gotten older, I’m respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents – because my mom’s really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard.

“And so, I think I took on some of my mom’s hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain.

“Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too – I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing. I’m being an adult about it.”
