Miley Cyrus Reflects on Her Parents’ New Relationships and Personal Growth

In a candid interview with The New York Times, Miley Cyrus opened up about her evolving perspective on her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, following their divorce and new relationships. Miley emphasized her growth in learning to view them as individuals rather than solely as parents. She acknowledged the emotional impact of her mother’s pain post-divorce and how she internalized some of that hurt. However, she now finds peace in seeing both her parents happy in their respective relationships. Tish Cyrus married actor Dominic Purcell in 2023, while Billy Ray briefly married singer-songwriter Firerose before beginning a relationship with English actress Elizabeth Hurley, which he confirmed on Instagram. Miley expressed admiration for Hurley, noting her intelligence and similarity to Dolly Parton. Rumors of estrangement between Miley and her father have circulated for years, but she clarified that while their relationship has had challenges, they are no longer estranged. She emphasized the healing that time has brought and described herself as being at peace with their relationship. Additionally, Miley discussed her emotional connection to her mother in a new song, ‘End of the World,’ from her latest album ‘Something Beautiful.’
