Billy Ray Cyrus has shared a rare public message to his ex-wife Tish Cyrus and daughter Miley Cyrus, amid persistent “feud” rumours that have plagued the Cyrus family.
The country singer, 63, shared a statement as he marked Mother’s Day, praising Tish and calling her a “strong mother,” saying he is “so proud of Miley”.
Billy Ray, who has just gone public with his romance with Liz Hurley, said he and Miley are “so close to a full healing” with their relationship.

“We are so close to a full healing. We have all been through a lot.

“But thank goodness… somewhere along the line my Mama also taught me, ‘life is a series of adjustments.’ Ha ha yep! Being honest here.
“Since I was a kid, I had to learn that lesson the hard way. Funny how history repeats itself. Full circle.”
It comes after singer Miley, 32, shared a statement after Tish allegedly unfollowed her on social media where she addressed her relationship with both her parents.
”I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,” Miley said, calling the alleged unfollowing “coincidental and uninteresting” and implied she did it by accident.
She added about her famous father: “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years.”
“Now, in my 30s, family is my priority above all else. I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.”
“Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family,” she added.
Rift speculation began in 2023 when Noah Cyrus and brother Braison Cyrus reportedly skipped their mother’s wedding to head to Walmart.
According to Page Six, the pair failed to show at Tish’s wedding to Aussie actor Dominic Purcell.
Billy Ray’s adopted son Trace Cyrus in January shared a message to his singer father in a public post on Instagram after his performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural ball.
