Miley Cyrus breaks her silence on rumored rifts with mom Tish and dad Billy Ray, sharing an Instagram statement about “healing” while Billy Ray posts a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute. Get the full timeline, key quotes, and fan reactions—plus a video of Miley’s response.
Miley Says the Feud “Isn’t a Thing”
On May 10 (PT), Miley Cyrus posted a rare, text‑only Instagram Story to quash escalating headlines about a split between herself and her parents:
“I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us… My dad and I have had our challenges, but now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else.” EW.com
She blamed the whole dust‑up on a tech slip (“Mom doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me—simple, coincidental and uninteresting”) and ended by saying she’s “at peace knowing bridges have been built.” E! Online
Billy Ray Echoes Her Sentiment
Barely 24 hours later, Billy Ray Cyrus posted a Mother’s Day collage that singled out ex‑wife Tish as “the very definition of a strong mother” and thanked Miley for her “wisdom and strength when our family needed it most,” adding:
“We are so close to a full healing. I’m the first to admit being married to me wasn’t easy… I’m a very imperfect man.” People.com
Tish Clears the Air
When fans noticed she’d briefly unfollowed her daughter, Tish jumped onto X (formerly Twitter) to insist:
“I would never unfollow Miley. She and I are as close as we’ve always been—glitch fixed!” E! Online

Why It Matters
Miley’s statement lands as she readies her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful (due May 30), and continues an impeccable 2025 run that includes two Grammy wins and her viral Stevie Nicks duet at Coachella. A drama‑free narrative benefits everyone: Miley’s rollout, Tish’s new lifestyle podcast, and Billy Ray’s pivot back to country‑roots touring.
The Takeaway
Celebrity families fight—but rarely do both sides deliver near‑identical olive branches within 24 hours. Between Miley’s “family first” mantra and Billy Ray’s public accountability, the Cyruses appear—at least publicly—to be on the same page for the first time since 2022.
