Los Angeles, California — Miley Cyrus is setting the record straight amid swirling rumors about her relationship with her mother, Tish Cyrus. Following speculation that Tish had unfollowed her daughter on social media, Miley took to Instagram to clarify the situation.
In a post shared with her followers, Miley, 32, emphasized the strength of her bond with her mother. “I rarely comment on rumors, but my mom and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,” she stated. Miley explained that the unfollowing was a simple mistake, attributing it to her mother’s unfamiliarity with technology. “It’s just a coincidence—uninteresting and innocent,” she added.
While addressing her connection with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley acknowledged the complexities of their relationship over the years but expressed a matured perspective. “Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else,” she shared. “I’m grateful for the healing over time and know that our bonds are stronger now.”
In a light-hearted response, Tish, 57, also addressed the unfollow on X (formerly Twitter), confirming that she had no intention of severing ties with her daughter. “I had no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now!” she wrote, reiterating her close relationship with Miley.
Billy Ray, 63, recently shared a family moment on Instagram, posting a photo with Miley and other family members during a birthday celebration for his son, Braison. This glimpse into their family life came alongside ongoing discussions about the dynamics within the Cyrus family.
Billy Ray and Tish, who were married from 1993 until their divorce in 2022, share three children: Miley, Braison, and Noah. Each has their own unique relationship with their father, which has been a topic of public interest, particularly following Miley’s lack of mention of him during her Grammy acceptance speech last year.
In recent interviews, Miley has been candid about her experiences growing up with a famous parent. She noted that while she appreciates the guidance her father provided, she also recognizes traits she inherited from him. “My dad gave me a map of what to do and what not to do,” Miley reflected. “I owe who I am to him and the creativity I learned from him.”
The family’s situation has drawn further attention due to Tish’s recent marriage to Dominic Purcell and Billy Ray’s brief union with Firerose. Currently, Billy Ray is reportedly dating actress Elizabeth Hurley, adding another layer to the public narrative surrounding their family dynamics.
Despite the changes and challenges, Miley expressed a focus on the positive aspects of her family relationships. “Family brings me joy, and I cherish the love that flows through us,” she concluded, reaffirming her commitment to building and nurturing those connections.
