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 Cyrus finalizes divorce from Firerose and will pay ex-wife $0 after nasty court battle over 7-month marriage
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.

Three more Strictly Come Dancing contestants announced on The One Show
The trio were announced as the latest recruits for the upcoming season live on BBC One's The One Show on Monday. Speaking from the studio after her reveal, former Love Island winner Dyer said: 'It's such a fun magical show – to be asked to do it is such an honour. 'I just can't wait to be able to wear (the costumes) – it's going to be so much fun.' Actress Kingston, who interrupted her holiday in Italy to speak to hosts Alex Scott and Roman Kemp, joked: 'I was super excited but now I'm terrified.' She was best known for her role as Dr Elizabeth Corday in US medical drama ER. Before that she won over British fans for her performance in ITV miniseries The Fortunes And Misfortunes Of Moll Flanders, which earned her a Bafta nomination for best actress. Former Chelsea footballer Hasselbaink said: 'I'm a father of only girls and Strictly is a part of our home life – I like the show. 'Let's have a go.' He added: 'It's totally out of my comfort zone. 'Playing football in front of 60,000 or 70,000 people is easy but dancing with a partner who knows it 10 times, 100 times, better than you is crazy.' Hasselbaink also teased the idea that he might be bringing a few of his former footballing friends along to watch live. 'I'm in contact with Robbie (Fowler), with Carlo Cudicini, so who knows,' he said. They join Olympic sprinter and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, who was the first contestant confirmed for the 2025 line-up earlier in the day. Aikines-Aryeetey, known as Nitro on the rebooted Gladiators, previously competed in last year's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special and described his decision to return as 'so nice I just had to do it twice'. In July, the BBC announced that two 'incredible' new professional dancers, US-born Alexis Warr and Australian dancer Julian Caillon, would be joining the show, which starts this autumn. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are back to present with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas returning as judges. Strictly will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for its new series this September.

Suranne Jones watched Starmer and Sunak ‘battle' in preparation for new role
In an interview with Radio Times, Jones discussed her upcoming Netflix drama Hostage in which she plays a fictional British prime minister whose husband is kidnapped. The series, which will be released on the streaming platform on August 21, sees Julie Delpy play a fictional visiting French president who is blackmailed, leaving the two leaders to face unimaginable choices. On her preparation for the role, Jones said: 'We spoke to people in positions of power. 'We went to the House of Commons, and we watched Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer battle against each other. 'We met with the Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle. We looked at Nicola Sturgeon. And Jacinda Ardern (the former prime minister of New Zealand). 'We looked at Theresa May. And Lucy Powell (MP for Manchester Central). 'We had fun developing it. It made me think about what being a woman of power means, and what it costs.' She added: 'The whole thing is about you, your family unit, how women split themselves between work and home, what the cost is, how you want to be portrayed, how the world perceives you as a woman, and what you have to battle with, before you start your day. 'All of that is going on before you put your heels on. 'And you might not want to put your heels on. And your power suit. But actually, you have to in order to make a mark in the room.' Jones rose to fame playing Karen McDonald on ITV soap Coronation Street, and the actress is due to star in the third series of BBC police drama Vigil, which is being filmed this year with a release date yet to be announced. The full interview can be read in the latest edition of Radio Times magazine.
