Miley Cyrus’ dad breaks silence on divorce that sparked wild family feud amid new romance with Liz Hurley

Billy Ray Cyrus appeared online to heap unexpected praise upon ex-wife Tish Cyrus on Mother’s Day.

In recognition of the holiday, the 63-year-old country crooner — who shares five kids with 57-year-old Tish, including megastar Miley Cyrus — posted a solemn statement on Instagram that centered around family.

‘Happy Mother’s Day to all the #StrongMothers out there. Here’s a couple that made our family who and what we are,’ he began.

Speaking highly of his ex, he said, ‘Tish Cyrus was and is the very definition of a strong mother,’ adding, ‘Trust me, I’m the first to admit… being married to me was not easy.’ 

The former spouses were married from 1993-2022. Tish has been married to Australian actor Dominic Purcell since 2023, and Billy announced his relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley on Easter.

The Achy Breaky Heart singer continued in his tribute to Tish on Sunday, ‘I’m very good at making mistakes. A very imperfect man. But thank goodness… somewhere along the line my Mama also taught me “life is a series of adjustments.”‘

He added, ‘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.’

The father-of-six, who is also dad to 33-year-old son Christopher with Kristin Luckey, also named his daughter Miley, 32, in the lengthy message.

He wrote, ‘I’m so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage… her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most.’

It was previously rumored that their relationship was strained, but the father-daughter appeared in a social media post signaling a reconciliation earlier this month.

Billy said in his latest Instagram upload, ‘We are so close to a full healing. We have all been through a lot.’

‘On this Mother’s Day I would like to testify to a couple facts. I still very much believe in the power power of prayer. and respectfully ask if you do also… and have an extra prayer for the CYRUS Family… I humbly would accept.’

Last week Miley took to social media to clear the air after fans noticed that her mother had briefly unfollowed her on Instagram.

The Something Beautiful singer wrote to her 212 million followers, ‘I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us. She’s my best friend.’

She added, ‘Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me — simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.’

The former Hannah Montana star took the opportunity to also address her relationship with her dad.

‘My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing,’ she said.

Wrapping up the note, she said she’s ‘grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.’

In addition to Miley, Billy shares daughter Noah, 25, sons Braison, 31, Trace, 36, and daughter Brandi, 37, with Tish.
