On May 9, Billy Ray Cyrus surprised fans by posting a photo on Instagram with his son Braison. Also in the picture were his daughter Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend Maxx Morando. Many fans were happy to see the family together again, with some saying it looked like the family was healing.
A few days later, Miley shared a message on Instagram, admitting that she and her dad have had a rocky relationship over the years. A source said their reunion partly happened because Dolly Parton, who is Miley’s godmother, didn’t want them to stay in a feud.
Billy Ray’s get-together with Miley and Braison in Tennessee marked a major step forward for the family. Miley said that now that she’s in her 30s, family matters most to her. She feels at peace knowing that their bond is being rebuilt.
Billy Ray also shared kind words, praising Miley for helping the family with her strength and wisdom. He said they’re getting closer to full healing, even though things still aren’t perfect.
The relationship between Miley and Billy Ray reportedly fell apart after his divorce from her mom, Tish Cyrus, in 2022 after 28 years of marriage. Things got worse when Tish later married actor Dominic Purcell and when Billy Ray quickly got engaged to younger singer Firerose. Miley didn’t like how her dad treated her mom and felt hurt by his choices.
Billy Ray married Firerose in 2023, but it ended badly just seven months later. They accused each other of abuse and drug use, though both denied the claims. Around the same time, his son Trace publicly asked Billy Ray to get his life together after a poor live performance.
