After a period of long silence and a great family rift, Miley Cyrus she returned to talk about her relationship with her father Billy Ray Cyrus who, in addition to having raised her, was a fundamental pillar for her career as an actress and singer. Following the divorce between Trish and Billy Ray, in fact, the relationships between them were no longer the same, and fans brought forward the hypothesis that the singer had sided with her mother.
Miley Cyrus returns to talk about Billy Ray
A small step that, perhaps, could lead to reconciliation. After years of broken relationships and family arguments, perhaps between Miley and her father Billy Ray Cyrus peace could return. Following the many hypotheses regarding an estrangement between the two after the divorce between Billy Rai and Trish, the singer’s mother, Miley returned to talking about her father in an interview with My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.
When asked if his father was his hero, the singer replied that her mother is her heroine, but still wanted to say kind words for Billy. “I owe him a lot. Without my father the person I am today would not exist because my father as a creative and as an artist, and the way his brain works, it always made me feel safer in my mind”.
He then explained how it was instrumental in managing his life in the spotlight: “It’s also always remained with his feet on the ground, always in touch with reality, even when he was super famous. I’m grateful to have had him as an example, he has drew a map to follow and a list of dos and don’ts.”
A very beautiful thought indeed, which could open a door for Billy Ray and an answer to one of his own very sweet Instagram post from a few weeks earlier in which the singer wanted to remember one of the most beautiful moments spent with his daughter: “I’m incredibly proud of her. She is a survivor and a true artist. She learned early on to love and appreciate the fans who make everything possible. We both appreciate the connection we have with our fans and are grateful for what they do for us. From this point of view, she is like me, we never take anything for granted.”
Miley Cyrus and her relationship with her father Billy Ray
A very close relationship between Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray, which from the singer’s earliest age evolved into a undeniable professional complicity. From the first steps into the world of Hannah Montanaa beloved children’s TV series in which the two were able to act together as father and daughter, until the dawn of Miley’s success as a singer, this time without wigs and pseudonyms.
A relationship which, however, seems to have cooled in 2022, the year in which Billy Ray and wife Trish they decided to separate and follow different paths. A choice that greatly influenced the family and their children, who seem to have decided to take sides. Miley, for her part, seems to have decided to lean towards the mother. An indiscretion that was confirmed by a source very close to the singer, which she had told in 2022 to And News that “The divorce between his parents it put a strain on his relationship with his father and it’s been hard to connect with him over the last year.”
Then the victory at the 2024 Grammys, in which Miley spoke on stage about the success of the song Flowershad launched into great thanks, leaving out his father’s name and specifying: “I don’t think I’ve forgotten anyone. But I may have forgotten my underwear. HI!” Are things really smoothing out now?
