Miley Cyrus is coming in like a wrecking ball to shut down the rumors.
After false rumors swirled that Tish Cyrus unfollowed her daughter on Instagram, the singer, 32, set the recored straight on where they stand.
“I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,” Miley wrote on her Instagram Stories on Saturday. “She’s my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me — simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.”
Addressing her relationship with dad Billy Ray Cyrus, the “Hannah Montana” album explained, “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years.”
“Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else,” concluded Miley. “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.”
Tish, 57, addressed the unfollowing on X, writing she “no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now!”
She added, “I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we’ve always been.”
A day before Miley’s post, Billy Ray, 63, shared a picture of himself with her daughter, her boyfriend Max Morando and Braison, 31, at his farm in Tennessee.
The Cyrus patriarch captioned his Friday Instagram post, “Happy Birthday Braison!!!!!”
Tish and Billy Ray were married from 1993 to 2022 and share kids Miley, Braison, and Noah.
The country singer also adopted his ex-wife’s two children, Brandi and Trace and is dad to son Christopher from a prior relationship.
After the couple split, Tish tied the knot with Dominic Purcell in 2023 while Billy Ray briefly married Firerose from 2023 to 2024.
He is now dating Elizabeth Hurley.
Rumors of a rift between Billy Ray and his kids were heightened after Miley left him out of her 2024 Grammy acceptance speech.
In 2024, Miley appeared on David Letterman’s Netflix series “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” where she spoke about her relationship with Billy Ray.
The actress noted that her father, whom she starred with in “Hannah Montana” from 2006 to 2011, gave her “a map of what to do and what not to do, and he’s guided me on both.”
But on the flip side, Miley said she “also inherited the narcissism from my father.”
“Without my dad, I know — I mean, not just literally I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair, I wouldn’t exist — but I would not, who I am as a person, it wouldn’t exist. Because 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 our ideas,” the Grammy winner explained. “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.”
“Honestly, my mom is my hero,” Miley stated.
In January, Trace, 36, hinted at an estrangement between his dad and his siblings.
The musician called out his father for his controversial performance at Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball.
Billy Ray had technical difficulties during his set and ended up doing an a cappella version of “Achy Breaky Heart.”
Trace wrote an open letter to Billy Ray on Instagram, revealing he was concerned for his dad, stating in part, “Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.”
Alluding to his mom and sisters’ mindset, he added, “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her.”
But shortly after, Noah, 25, praised her dad for releasing new music.
“So proud of my Dad’s INCREDIBLE new single LOST with my good, old friend [Sam Tinnesz] and [Tommee Profitt],” the singer wrote in February alongside two red heart emojis.
