Billy Ray Cyrus has shared a lengthy post on Instagram to back up his estranged daughter Miley Cyrus, after she refuted rumours that she was at odds with her mama, Tish Cyrus.
Sharing an Instagram tile in support of Mother’s Day, the country singer wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to all #StrongMothers out there. Here’s a couple that made our family who and what we are in this photo for Sunday Callin. My Mom Ruthie… who loved Willie and her mama Mary who was born with the musical gift and passed it down to all of us in the family who play music by ear… Thank God she did … ‘cos I can’t read a note.”
He then referenced his daughter Miley’s Insta post which began with: “I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too close for anything to ever come between us.”
Billy Ray wrote: “Speakin’ of… I too rarely comment on rumours… but on this given day… I give you my truth. 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. 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.
“1) I still very much believe in the power of prayer and respectfully ask if you do also … and have an extra prayer for the CYRUS Family… I humbly would accept. I must also add, as I witnessed just yesterday before 60 Gold Star Families who had lost sons and daughters in service of our country… Please put a prayer in for them also… or give them mine if need be. Our family can heal. We are all still here. Those family’s have suffered a loss that can not be replaced or changed.”
He went on to reference his ex Tish Cyrus directly, writing: “2) Tish Cyrus was and is the very definition of a strong mother. Trust me I’m the first to admit… being married to me was not easy. 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’. 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.”

Earlier this year in January, insiders for the “Flowers” singer and Hannah Montana alum revealed that she hadn’t had a relationship with her father for “a long time” and that she had “no interest” in fixing the relationship.
This, coupled with the rumour of fresh beef with Tish Cyrus after the momager seemingly unfollowed her on IG, prompted Miley to share the aforementioned tile.
“She’s my best friend,” Cyrus continued.
“Like a lot of mums, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me — simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.
“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.”

The 57-year-old also made a statement on X (formerly Twitter), mentioning that herself and her daughter were closer than ever.
“I would never unfollow Miley, [she] and I are as close as we’ve always been. Period,” she tweeted.
Nothing to see here, folks. The Cyrus family are doing juuuuust fine!
