Elizabeth's son, Damien Hurley, later shared his support for the post as well, adding fuel to the fire that it was a 'hard launch' of their romance.
But according to Daily Mail, the pair's close bond was years in the making – with Tish, who was married to Billy Ray for 28 years, growing suspicious of them back three years ago.
Billy Ray and Elizabeth got to know each other while filming the 2022 movie Christmas In Paradise, with the site claiming their bond worried his then-wife.
'Tish had her thoughts and suspicions at the time that he was cheating on her with Liz, but Billy Ray flat out denied it,' the source told the site.
'They got very close on the set and seeing that they are together now is a slap in the face for Tish, but it also confirms that she was likely right about her suspicions.'
The source added that the pair had 'never stopped being in contact'.
Tish and Billy Ray called time on their near 30-year marriage in April 2022, but they were still together at the time of filming Christmas in Paradise.
The couple share three children – Miley, Noah and Braison – with Billy Ray adopting Tish's children Brandi and Trace from her previous marriage.
Since they married in 1993, the family created a musical dynasty, with Miley Cyrus becoming an international pop icon, Noah Cyrus becoming an actress and singer as well, and Trace leading 'Shake It' pop-punk group Metro Station before going on to other bands.
However, since Tish and Billy Ray's 2022 split, the family appear to have become divided, with children missing from both Tish and Billy Ray's subsequent weddings.

Billy Ray married Firerose in 2021, but the pair filed for divorce after just seven months of marriage.
A nasty divorce battle followed, with Firerose walking away from the relationship with $0.
Tish is now married to Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, tying the knot in August 2023 with Miley as her maid of honour.
Trace has also spoken out about his father, saying in a long post back in January that he 'barely recognized' the person he once 'idolized' following his performance at Trump's inauguration.

David Beckham ‘immensely proud' of knighthood in King's Birthday Honours
The sports star, who celebrated his 50th birthday last month, is being honoured for services to sport and charity. Sir David said in a statement to the PA news agency: 'Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. 'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. 'Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation. 'I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.' Sir David married his wife Victoria in 1999 and the couple share four children together – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. He had been set on becoming a professional footballer as a child and as a teenager he joined Manchester United as a trainee, forming part of the class of '92 that won the FA Youth Cup, along with Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville. The sports star from north east London made his Premier League debut for United in 1995 and was part of the team that earned a dramatic Champions League final victory in 1999 when they beat Bayern Munich with two late goals. In total he scored 85 goals and collected honours including six Premier League titles and two FA Cups as a footballer, before retiring from the sport in 2013. Alongside his football career Sir David has supported a number of charity causes and launched a fundraising appeal for Unicef in April ahead of his milestone 50th birthday. He has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for humanitarian aid organisation Unicef since 2005 and is a founding member of the charity Malaria No More UK's leadership council. Philip Goodwin, Unicef UK chief executive said: 'We're so thrilled that our Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, David Beckham, has been awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours. 'David Beckham has done an incredible amount to advocate for children's rights over the last 20 years. 'He became a Goodwill Ambassador in 2005 and launched 7: The David Beckham Unicef Fund in 2015 – with the goal of helping children around the world, especially girls, break down barriers including bullying, violence, child marriage and missed education. 'He's travelled extensively to see Unicef's work and used his profile to raise awareness, as well as support our flagship fundraising campaign Soccer Aid for Unicef and launch global fundraising appeals.' Last year the former sports star, who has described himself as a 'huge Royalist', was named an ambassador for the King's Foundation, an educational charity established by the King in 1990. In February Sir David appeared in a video helping to launch the hunt for '35 under 35', a network of influencers who can fly the flag for the charity which reflects Charles' vision. He is also known for his stylish clothing choices, and in 1998 was named most stylish man of the year by GQ magazine and he has modelled for the likes of H&M, Armani and Boss. In 2018 he was appointed Ambassadorial President of the British Fashion Council where he assisted the BFC in its search for young British talent from all backgrounds. His wife, Victoria, turned her hand to fashion designing after her time in the Spice Girls and Sir David and their four children are often spotted at her shows. Sir David is currently a part-owner of MLS side Inter Miami, and is also the co-founder of Studio 99, the production company behind the hit Netflix series Beckham. He was formerly appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003.

Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman given knighthood in King's Birthday Honours
The London-born film star, 67, is known for his versatile acting style having portrayed a range of figures, from former prime minister Sir Winston Churchill to Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious. He started out on the stage and performed in productions at the York Theatre Royal, which he recently returned to in a staging of the Samuel Beckett play Krapp's Last Tape. One of his more recent and most recognisable roles is as veteran MI5 agent Jackson Lamb in Apple TV's Slow Horses, based on the Slough House book series by British writer Mick Herron. Late last year he won the performance of the year gong at the 63rd Rose d'Or Awards for his role as Lamb, an unhygienic, ill-mannered individual, who has 'no vanity' and 'doesn't give an eff', according to Sir Gary. Born on March 21 1958, a young Sir Gary toyed with the idea of becoming a musician but changed his mind after watching a Malcolm McDowell film. He was turned down by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada), but gained a place studying acting at the Rose Bruford College, which he graduated from in 1979. He became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), starring in productions that included 1985's Abel And Cain at London's Almeida Theatre and first came to public attention in films including Remembrance (1982) and Sid And Nancy (1986), which saw him play the notorious punk rock star. In the early 1990s he played Lee Harvey Oswald, alleged assassin of US president John F Kennedy, in 1991's JFK and the titular vampire in Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992. Other notable roles included Ludwig van Beethoven in Immortal Beloved (1994) and Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element (1997). His directorial debut, a semi-autobiographical piece about his childhood titled Nil By Mouth, was released in 1997 and lauded as a brilliant but gut-wrenchingly emotional film. The acclaimed film earned him Baftas for outstanding British film and best original screenplay in 1998. Across the noughties and into the 2010s he appeared in some of the Harry Potter films as Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, and also starred as Gotham City Police lieutenant Jim Gordon, in Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). He was lauded for his role playing George Smiley in 2011 film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which saw him earn Bafta and Oscar nods. He was unable to secure the leading actor gongs, however, until his role in The Darkest Hour which saw him sweep the 2018 awards season, winning an Academy Award, Bafta and more. Upon winning his Oscar, for playing wartime leader Sir Winston, Sir Gary appeared emotional and thanked 'the Academy and its members for this glorious prize' as well as his colleagues, his wife and family in a lengthy speech. Sir Gary has three sons, Alfie whom he shares with ex-wife Lesley Manville, and Gulliver and Charlie, whose mother is his former wife Donya Fiorentino. The actor, whose sister is former EastEnders actress Laila Morse, has been married to Gisele Schmidt since 2017 and was previously married to Hollywood actress Uma Thurman and singer Alexandra Edenborough.
