Miley Cyrus Sets The Record Straight About Latest Family Feud Rumours

Miley Cyrus has spoken out about her relationships with her mother, Tish, and father, Billy Ray.

Last week, Miley and Tish found themselves at the centre of speculation there may have been a fall-out between them when it was alleged that the latter had unfollowed the latter on Instagram.

Meanwhile, the Flowers singer has made no secret of the fact that she and her famous dad have a somewhat complicated relationship throughout her time in the spotlight – but especially in recent years.

Over the weekend, the Grammy winner posted a statement on her Instagram story, which read: “I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us. 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.”

Turning her attention to the Achy Breaky Heart singer, Miley continued: “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.”

“Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family,” she concluded, signing off the message simply: “Miley.”

Meanwhile, on Sunday – which was Mothers’ Day in the US – Billy Ray also posted a statement on Instagram praising both Miley and his ex-wife Tish.

“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,” Billy Ray wrote. 

“We are so close to a full healing. We have all been through a lot.”

He continued: “On this Mother’s Day I would like to testify to a couple facts [...] 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.”

Billy Ray added: “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’.”

Miley is currently gearing up for the release of her ninth album Something Beautiful later this month.

The album was preceded by the single End Of The World, which she previously shared was inspired by her mum, who previously appeared alongside her in the music video for her single Mother’s Daughter.
