Billy Ray Cyrus is feeling really sad about his strained relationship with his daughter, Miley, especially after his short marriage to singer Firerose. Sources say that Billy Ray, 63, recently wished Miley a happy 32nd birthday on social media, but that was the only time he’s contacted her since marrying Firerose. Miley has been refusing to talk to her dad since then. Billy Ray’s seven-month marriage to Firerose ended in May, and it has caused a big rift between him and Miley.
A friend of the family said Billy Ray is “heartbroken” over the distance between him and Miley, with whom he worked on Hannah Montana. The friend also said that Firerose didn’t want Miley to be part of Billy Ray’s life and tried to control him, even stopping him from seeing his daughter. Billy Ray didn’t realize how much he had pulled away from his family until it was too late, and now he regrets it.
The divorce between Billy Ray and Firerose was messy, with Firerose accusing him of being verbally and emotionally abusive. Billy Ray said Firerose was using him to help her career, something Miley had warned him about from the start. Miley never liked Firerose and had warned her dad to be careful.
Now that his marriage is over, Billy Ray hopes to fix things with Miley, but he knows it won’t be easy. A source said Billy Ray hopes Miley will let him back into her life, but he knows it will take time and effort to rebuild their relationship. He understands that his actions have hurt her, and he is ready to do the work to make things right.
