Miley Cyrus reveals reason for previous rift with Billy Ray Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has opened up about the reason why she was formerly estranged from Billy Ray Cyrus.

Last month, the Flowers hitmaker revealed she and her father had "done a lot of healing" following long-standing feud rumours.

Speaking to The New York Times recently, Miley indicated her parents' divorce after nearly three decades together led to the conflict.

"I think timing is everything. As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents - because my mom's really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard," she explained. "And so, I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain."

Billy and ex-wife Tish Cyrus separated in 2020 and finalised the split two years later.

The Achy Breaky Heart singer is now dating Elizabeth Hurley while Tish married Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell in August 2023.

Accordingly, Miley noted that she has grown to accept her new family dynamic.

"Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too - I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing. I'm being an adult about it," the 32-year-old added.

Miley is currently promoting her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful.
