Miley echoed this sentiment, writing, “I rarely comment 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 also touched on her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, acknowledging their past challenges. “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years,” she admitted.

Her comments came shortly after Billy Ray posted a photo on May 9, celebrating son Braison’s 31st birthday with Miley, her boyfriend Maxx Morando, and himself, signaling a public reconciliation.
The Cyrus family has faced scrutiny since Tish and Billy Ray’s 2022 divorce, with further speculation arising from Miley’s omission of her father during her 2024 Grammy acceptance speech and reports of strained dynamics with siblings Noah and Braison.
