Miley Cyrus reflects on family: how Billy Ray's love life changed their bond
Miley Cyrus discusses growth and challenges in her relationship with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. The singer also shared her thoughts on her father's new relationship. Image: Instagram/Miley Cyrus US singer Miley Cyrus opened up about her relationship with her parents' relationship while sharing her thoughts about her father, Billy Ray Cyrus' romance with Elizabeth Hurley. Hurley and Cyrus went public with their relationship early this year, in April during the Easter weekend. In an interview with the 'New York Times', Miley shared that as much as Billy Ray is her father, he is also a person who deserves happiness too. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy',' the 'Hannah Montana' star said.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Before dating Hurley, Billy Ray was married to Firerose, an Australian singer, in 2023. However, seven months later, in May 2024, the pair divorced after Billy Ray filed for divorce. Miley also added that she no longer has an estranged relationship with her father and shared insights into what led to it: her parents' divorce. 'I think timing is everything. As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents - because my mom 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,' the 38-year-old singer said. The pop singer continued and shared that after her mother and father divorced, she took on some of her mother's pain as her own, revealing that 'I owned a lot of her pain". Ray and Tish Cyrus-Purcell tied the knot in 1993, and after three decades of marriage, Cyrus-Purcell filed for divorce. In 2023, Tish married Dominic Purcell, whom Miley has expressed that she adores. '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,' she shared. Just a few weeks ago, Miley shut down rumours that she is feuding with her family after fans noticed that her mother unfollowed her.
