Exclusive: Billy Ray Cyrus Attempts to Reconnect with Daughter Miley Amid Ongoing Family Feud.
Billy Ray Cyrus seeks reconciliation with daughter Miley Cyrus after her Grammys exclusion earlier this month.
“Numerous attempts have been made by him to reach out to Miley, extending congratulations on her Grammys,” an insider exclusively discloses in the latest edition of Us Weekly. “While the children have taken sides, there’s hope among friends that the divide won’t be permanent.”
Speculation arose among fans regarding potential tensions within the Cyrus family following Tish Cyrus’s marriage to Dominic Purcell in August 2023. Notably, only Miley and older siblings Trace and Brandi Cyrus were present at the wedding, while her younger siblings, Braison and Noah Cyrus, were conspicuously absent.
According to the same source, there’s a rift between Miley and Billy Ray,” the source tells Us. “Miley has a strong bond with her mom and is supporting her.”
On the flip side, Noah has “consistently maintained a close relationship with Billy Ray,” the insider adds. “This has created tension between her and Miley.”
Tish and Billy Ray tied the knot in 1993, undergoing numerous challenges before she eventually filed for divorce in 2022. “There’s no more communication, and both hold grudges,” the same source reveals, highlighting that the former couple is not in contact.
Following Tish’s relationship with Purcell, Billy Ray exchanged vows with Firerose, who is 27 years younger than him, in October 2023.
The family dynamics have shifted significantly since the divorce, and with Tish and Billy Ray in new relationships, there’s even greater division among them,” a second insider elaborates to Us, highlighting that Noah and Braison were invited to Tish’s wedding but “chose not to attend.”
The same source further commented: “It’s widely known that neither of them supports Dominic, which has caused strain in their relationship with their mom.”
A Timeline of Cyrus Family Controversies
The strain within the Cyrus family became evident when Miley won two Grammy Awards earlier this month. During her acceptance speeches, she only acknowledged Tish, Brandi, and her partner Maxx Morando, prompting fans to notice the absence of certain individuals, notably Billy Ray.
According to a third source, Miley still harbors feelings of resentment towards Billy Ray for what she perceives as his disrespect towards Tish and the family. Tish hinted at these sentiments during her appearance on the February 7 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, stating that she endured “disrespect in every aspect” throughout her marriage to Billy Ray.
Disrespect manifests itself in numerous ways. I didn’t realize—until I entered a new relationship characterized by a lot of respect—how much disrespect there was in my previous marriage,” Tish expressed during the episode. “Honestly, it was present on both our parts.”
