Miley Cyrus breaks silence on dad Billy Ray's romance with Liz Hurley as she reveals her ‘pain at parents' divorce'

The Wrecking Ball singer, 32, opened up that she was handling the blossoming romance like 'an adult'.

Miley fell out with the country star, 63, after the end of his 30-year marriage to her mum Tish Purcell, 58, in 2023.
But she now wishes 'happiness' to her three-times wed dad and Liz, 59, despite struggling with the 'pain' of seeing her parents go their separate ways.
Miley said: 'I'm being an adult about it.
'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'.
"My child self has caught up.'
The former Disney Channel star said she puts her now-resolved issues down to her closeness to her mother — who had been Billy Ray's second wife after he divorced Cindy Smith in 1991.
She told the New York Times podcast: 'My mum 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.
'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.'
Confirming she was fully reconciled with her dad, Miley added: 'There's been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected. I think timing is everything.'
Billy Ray met Austin Powers star Liz on the set of their 2022 film, Christmas in Paradise.
They went public with a loved-up picture in a field in April.
We previously revealed Billy Ray had turned to Liz for help when his third marriage to Australian singer Firerose crumbled after seven months last year.
An insider said: 'Everyone said they are world's apart but they are very similar — they have a lot in common and have the same interests and Billy is also very much her type.'
Liz revealed last month that she is taking their relationship to the next level, by preparing to introduce him to her family.
Billy is due to meet them next week in England when she celebrates her 60th birthday.

US is heading for a sharp economic downturn, OECD warns
Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies have sent the global economy into a downturn, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has warned. The US economy will be among the hardest hit with growth slowing from 2.8 percent in 2004 to just 1.6 percent this year, according to the group's new forecasts. The Paris-based organization also predicted on Tuesday that Trump's tariffs will hit the global economy harder than expected, slashing its growth forecast for the year down to 2.9 percent compared to 3.3 percent last year. If consumer price expectations become de-anchored the Fed could even be forced to raise rates again, the report warned. 'Weakened economic prospects will be felt around the world, with almost no exception,' OECD chief economist Alvaro Pereira said in the report. Uncertainty from the rapidly changing policies is also hitting consumer confidence and holding back investment, according to the report. The Economic Outlook report said that besides the US the slowdown will be concentrated in Canada, Mexico and China, countries hardest hit by Trump's tariffs. The OECD has called on governments to ease trade tensions and work to eliminate uncertainty. 'Agreements to ease trade tensions and lower tariffs and other trade barriers will be instrumental to revive growth and investment and avoid rising prices,' the OECD said. 'This is by far the most important policy priority.' The report comes as its members, including US trade representative Jamieson Greer, prepare to meet in Paris for their annual meeting. The OECD also criticized other key Trump policies including his vast reductions in the federal workforce and curbs on immigration, both of which are also dragging on the economy.

Kylie Jenner reveals plastic surgery secrets including doctor details and breast implant size in buried TikTok comment
KYLIE Jenner has finally revealed her plastic surgery secrets - including doctor details and breast implant size - in a buried TikTok comment. Reality star Kylie, 27, made the admission in response to influencer Rachel Leary, who had praised her chest as 'the most perfect, natural boob job ever' and begged for specifics. 6 6 Rachel had uploaded a video on Monday asking Kylie to share what she 'asked for' when getting her breasts done. She captioned it: 'Help a girl out @Kylie Jenner, I just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully.' To the surprise of many, the beauty mogul replied directly to the clip, writing: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' The TikTok exchange comes two years after Kylie first confirmed she had undergone a secret breast augmentation at 19 - something she denied for years. Rachel was stunned by the response, replying: 'KYLIEEEEE!!! you are the best THANK YOU!!!!' Fans quickly flooded the comments with praise for the star. Jenner's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, is a well-known celebrity doctor and is a longtime favourite of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. He performed Kris Jenner's facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, gave Kourtney Kardashian her boob job, and even carried out a revision facelift for Caitlyn Jenner pre-transition. He also removed a tumour from Khloe Kardashian's face and helped Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna revise her silicone lip fillers. Earlier in his career, he was Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's go-to surgeon. Kylie first confirmed her surgery in a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, revealing she had the procedure done before giving birth to daughter Stormi, now seven. She told Stassie Karanikolaou: "I got my breasts done before Stormi. Within six months of having Stormi – not thinking I would have a child when I was 20 – they were still healing.' She admitted she regretted the decision, adding: 'I had beautiful breasts, like natural t*ts, just gorgeous… and I just wished, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.' 'I would recommend anyone who was thinking about it to wait until after you have children. I have a daughter too. I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19.' Kylie's latest comments marked a major shift from years of denying surgery rumours. In 2015, the influencer denied breast enhancement on her app, attributing her changing shape to weight gain and ageing. She wrote at the time: 'My boobs are definitely three times the size, which bothers me,' she admitted in 2018, post-pregnancy - but stopped short of confirming implants at the time." 6 6 6

EXCLUSIVE Bachelor vet Arie Luyendyk Jr and wife invite fans inside their kitchen as they announce due date of 4th kid
Arie Luyendyk Jr and his wife Lauren Burnham have opened up their kitchen. The lovebirds had a cozy baking session with one of their daughters, Alessi, over the weekend. The 43-year-old Bachelor star and his 33-year-old wife shared with that they were whipping up Pearl Milling Company and Nutella's Apple Pecan Pancakes. It was a practice run before their Father's Day celebrations where the entire family will indulge in the sweet breakfast. Arie and Lauren already have three children together - daughters Alessi, five; Senna, three; and her twin brother Lux - and are expecting a fourth. The stars also shared that they will be welcoming their fourth child, a baby girl, in September. Luyendyk Jr, who was the Bachelor in Season 22, got married to Lauren on January 12, 2019. Their wedding took place at the Haiku Mill in Maui, Hawaii. The lovebirds had a cozy baking session with one of their daughters, Alessi, over the weekend In April they found out the sex of their fourth child. Arie and Lauren both revealed that they thought it would be a boy. 'I think it's a boy,' Lauren admitted in a YouTube video showing the sex reveal in more detail. 'And I thought it was a boy the entire time. 'If my instincts are wrong, I'm going to be so shocked,' she added. Arie noted that he was 'wearing blue' because he also expected a boy. 'This pregnancy feels different,' he said. In their sex reveal video, they both held opaque black balloons containing colored confetti, with leaves and flowers decorating the strings. But as soon as they pricked the balloons, they exploded in a shower of pink confetti that rained down on their three children, revealing that they were expecting a girl. Arie squinted with an ear-to-ear smile and doubled over laughing at the unexpected result, but everyone in the family was clearly overjoyed. 'You're gonna have a sister!' he shouted at the children, and own of the onlookers filming screamed, 'No way!' It was a practice run before their Father's Day celebrations where the entire family will indulge in the sweet breakfast. Arie and Lauren already have three children together - daughters Alessi, five; Senna, three; and her twin brother Lux - and are expecting a fourth Afterward, Alessi, Senna and Lux got to chow down on some pink-dyed vanilla cake to cap off the exciting announcement. The announcement was only possible because Arie made the choice to get his vasectomy reversed earlier this year, though the procedure is not as irreversible as it is often touted as being. In April of 2024, the auto racer admitted that he felt he had 'rushed' into getting the vasectomy and subsequently regretted it. In March, Lauren revealed the couple faced a stumbling block when she experienced a chemic pregnancy prior to conceiving their fourth child. 'We tried and tried,' she emphasized in a YouTube vlog at the time. 'And we were unsuccessful for a little bit and then we had a chemical pregnancy. I've never had a chemical pregnancy before, so I thought that was it. Like we were actually pregnant.' Lauren also bragged that she ' surprised' her husband 'for the first time ever' when she revealed she was pregnant. 'His one request for our last pregnancy was that I surprise him in a cute way because I always just tell him immediately because I can't keep secrets,' she admitted. Contrary to what the name would suggest, a chemical pregnancy occurs when an embryo forms and implants within the uterus lining, but then stops developing within the first five weeks, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The pregnancy is detectable via hormonal tests — hence the name — but after the embryo ceases developing the hormone levels will return to normal.
