Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Rumoured Strained Relationship With Dad Billy Ray Cyrus

Growing up as a Hannah Montana stan, the last thing I would’ve imagined was a Cyrus family feud. But unfortunately, we’re in a reality where Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus, Billy Rae Cyrus and every other Cyrus in the damn book are beefing. Recently, the “Flowers” singer has broken her silence on the whole debacle.

ICYMI: the Cyrus clan has been beefing for the last three years. In pure honesty, no one can really pinpoint exactly when the feud began. But many speculate that it all stemmed from the divorce between Billy and Tish Cyrus back in 2022.

In 2022, Tish and Billy filed for divorce. Months later, it was revealed that Billy (who was 61 at the time) and his girlfriend Firerose (34 at the time) got engaged.

According to multiple entertainment sources, such as E! Online and Radar Online, Miley wasn’t too keen on their upcoming nuptials.

“They love him, but it’s embarrᴀssing to watch him act like a silly fool and spend an absolute fortune on this girl,” a source who claims to be close to Miley told Radar Online.

“To cap it off, he doesn’t want a prenup, and his family thinks that’s ludicrous — he’s worth $20 million.

“The fear is he’s throwing his life away.”

Why do people think Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus are beefing?

It’s been speculated that Miley wasn’t keen on their relationship as Firerose and Billy met 12 years ago on the set of Hannah Montanna.

Recently, Grammy-winner Miley Cyrus made it clear which side she was on in an interview with David Letterman‘s Netflix special My Guest Needs No Introduction.

Here’s what the Bangerz singer had to say.

Speaking to Letterman in early June, Miley unpacked what her current relationship is like with her father, telling the talk show host that she was grateful for what he pᴀssed down to her, but her “mum is [her] hero.”

“I’m grateful for, first, his genes — my dad has great hair, and I got that,” Miley kicked off.

“But he has a relationship and a foot on the ground to the real and to nature, and he always did, even when he was super famous. I’m grateful for being able to watch him ahead of me.

“He’s almost, like, given me this map, and there is a map of what to do and what not to do, and he’s been — he’s guided me on both.”

The “Adore You” singer also touched on how she relates to her father’s creativity and how it “made [her] feel safer” about her career moves.

“My dad as a creative and as an artist, in the way that his brain works, has always made me feel safer in my own mind because we’re very similar in some of our ideas,” she continued.

“So I think a lot of his perspective on reality and on life, I’ve inherited from him, more so than the way that I was raised, which, really, my mom raised me.”

Further in the interview, Miley also touched on the differences between Billy’s and her childhood and how it could’ve impacted the way he works. “My dad had a pretty rough childhood,” she said.

“And my childhood, really — I mean, we can go and talk about the hard times or the struggles, turning in my homework and learning my lines was tough — but I had food, I had love, I grew up in a beautiful big house, and my dad didn’t have that.

“And so I have a lot of empathy and compᴀssion for his childhood, which obviously developed to create the man that he is now, that I have a lot of love for.”

During the interview, Miley also made a cheeky comment — which some fans have taken as shade towards her father — claiming she “inherited the narcissism.”
