Billy Ray Cyrus is speaking up about his daughter, pop star Miley Cyrus, and his ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, addressing the rumors around their family.

After Tish Cyrus told her Instagram followers that she never intentionally unfollowed Miley Cyrus on Instagram, Miley Cyrus shared a statement of her own.

On Saturday, May 10, Miley Cyrus shared a statement on her Instagram story, saying she “rarely comment(s) on rumors, 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.”

Miley Cyrus continued, eventually commenting on her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

“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.”

On Mother’s Day, Billy Ray Cyrus also addressed the rumors that he and Miley Cyrus had been feuding.

After remembering his mom Ruthie on Mother’s Day, he wrote, “Speakin of, I too rarely comment on rumors, but on this given day, I give you my truth.”

“I’m so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage,” Billy Ray Cyrus continued, “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.”

He then addressed Tish Cyrus, calling her “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.”

In the end, he called it all “full circle.”
