Tish Cyrus didn’t mean to start a war when she accidentally unfollowed Miley Cyrus on Instagram.
Miley Cyrus and her mother, Tish, have clarified the situation surrounding Tish’s temporary unfollowing of Miley on social media in May, which occurred not long after Miley reconnected with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, leading to rumors of a potential larger Cyrus family dispute.
On the June 19th episode of “Sorry We’re Cyrus“, Miley, aged 32, remarked that the occurrence was quite peculiar. Regardless of whether one is a part of the family or not, it seemed strange considering the circumstances at hand.
Tish, aged 58, agreed emphatically, stating “indeed” prior to the former Hannah Montana star elaborating on the significant timing.
Miley playfully remarked, “It seemed like you stopped following Billy Ray, and guess what? I mysteriously popped up again on your feed! Then, after receiving some criticism, you magically learned how to click ‘follow’ instantly. Don’t worry, it was all in good fun!
After some investigation, it turned out that the reason for the unfollowing incident was simply due to an issue with Meta’s system, as stated by the artist known for hit songs like “Flowers.
Their explanation remained in line with what the duo had previously said about the incident, too.
In May, when someone inquired about her past social media activity, Tish, who is a mother to Trace (36), Braison (30), and Noah (25) with her ex Billy Ray, responded on Instagram saying, “It’s a mystery how that occurred, but it’s been rectified now!
Tish stated on X that she has no intention of stopping her follow of Miley, as their bond remains just as strong as ever. Full stop. I love you, Little.
Meanwhile, Miley made sure it was known that nothing could ever come between her and Tish.
Generally, I don’t engage with gossip, but let it be known that my mother and I share an unbreakable bond. She is more than just a mom to me; she’s my best friend. It so happens that she’s not tech-savvy and accidentally unfollowed me on Instagram – a simple, coincidental occurrence that holds no intrigue.
At one stage, Miley revealed that a part of her family wasn’t communicating with each other. However, she later explained how she and her father managed to resolve those issues.
She explained in Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast, “I observed the accumulation of clutter when things aren’t tidied immediately. Over time, it grows and becomes overwhelming, much like emotional hoarding, where after 10 years you find yourself knee-deep in chaos, wondering how to even begin addressing it.
Instead of plowing through the accumulated pile, Miley casually said, “I’m here, you’re here. Let’s begin by enjoying each other’s company,” she continued. “Once we create a sense of happiness and joy in our lives, we’ll be in a more favorable position to engage in meaningful conversations. I prefer to establish harmony first.

Billy Ray Cyrus married Tish Cyrus (née Leticia Finley) on Dec. 28, 2003.
At that point in time, they had a 12-month-old child named Destiny Hope Cyrus, who later became known as Miley Cyrus, and Tish was carrying their son Braison Cyrus, who made his arrival on the 9th of May, 1994.
Approximately seven months prior to Miley Cyrus’ birth on November 23, 1992, Billy Ray Cyrus’ former girlfriend, Kristin Luckey, welcomed their son Christopher Cody Cyrus into the world on April 8.
When Billy Ray Cyrus tied the knot with Tish, he legally became the father of her children Brandi (born May 26, 1987) and Trace (Feb. 24, 1989), who were previously fathered by Tish’s former spouse Baxter Helson.
Trish and Billy Ray’s youngest, daughter Noah Cyrus, was born Jan. 8, 2000.
Between 2006 and 2010, Billy Ray portrayed the character of Miley’s pop-star alter ego’s father in the Disney Channel sitcom “Hannah Montana” and also starred in a movie adaption of it that came out in 2009.
Before the Cyrus family was fully settled in Nashville, Billy Ray and Miley chose to relocate to Los Angeles to help launch Miley’s own entertainment journey.
In October 2010, Billy Ray and Tish officially declared their separation, yet by the next year, they had reconciled once more.
In June 2013, I found myself once more filing for divorce. However, just a few weeks later, we took a step back and sought help from couples counseling. As we shared our feelings with each other in this safe space, it proved incredibly beneficial for us.
Before their reconciliation, upon learning that her father had initiated divorce proceedings in a Nashville court, ending a 19-year marriage, Miley posted on Twitter, “Given that your texts and emails seem to be ineffective, would you prefer to discuss things this way?
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: After our shared journey on the set of “The Last Song” in 2010 and an on-again, off-again relationship spanning a decade, my partner Liam Hemsworth and I exchanged vows in December 2018. Our union came shortly after the unfortunate loss of our Malibu home to fire.
As I reflected upon that pivotal moment, I realized it stemmed from a space born out of pain and an urgent need for healing and restoration, as I shared in my “Used to Be Young” TikTok series.
But Liam filed for divorce in August 2019 and they finalized the paperwork in January 2020.
A source shared with TopMob back then that it was genuinely straightforward: they developed feelings for each other when they were younger, but they’ve both changed over time.
Braison and his wife Stella Cyrus welcomed son Bear Chance Cyrus on June 8, 2021.
Tish filed for divorce fo a third time in April 2022, and this time it stuck.
Additionally, her request pointed out a significant fact: she and her spouse, who had been married for nearly three decades, have not resided together since February 2020 due to “irreconcilable differences.
After three decades, five wonderful children, and a treasure trove of memories, we’ve chosen to follow different paths – not out of sadness, but with love in our hearts. This isn’t an ending, but rather a new beginning for each of us. We’ve grown together, built a family that makes us proud, and now it’s time for us to carve out our individual journeys. (Tish and Billy Ray to People)
They mentioned that their choice to part ways permanently wasn’t made hastily or impulsively. They emphasized that they would forever remain family, looking forward to maintaining a lasting friendship and parenthood relationship filled with love.
Billy Ray discreetly became engaged to the 27-years-younger Australian singer, Firerose, in August of 2022. However, he chose not to disclose this news publicly until November of the same year.
As a child raised in Australia, music held an overwhelming fondness for me above all else, as Firerose shared with People. “I’ve been familiar with his tunes since time immemorial,” she added.
What started as a friendship turned into more during the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unexpectedly, my life as a traveling musician no longer resembled its familiar form, Billy Ray expressed. It was a time of immense transformation. And amidst this change, Firerose, who had been a beacon of positivity and a dear friend, was also present. As we delved into creating music together, our bond deepened from musical partners to soulmates. A love that I previously didn’t believe could exist in such a pure form began to unfold between us.
As my ex-spouse announced his engagement in November 2022, I made it official on Instagram with the talented actor Dominic Purcell, known for his role in “Prison Break.
In April 2023, they became engaged, and later in August of the same year, they exchanged wedding vows at a sunset ceremony in Malibu. Their friends Miley, Trace, and Brandi were present, standing beside their mother during the ceremony.
Life’s fluidity and constant transformations are evident, as this photograph showcases my siblings and me alongside a newlywed. In my opinion, it’s crucial to appreciate our memories, anticipate what lies ahead, and find joy in the here and now, for that’s truly all we possess.
Miley shared with Vogue that it was deeply emotional for her to witness her mother so happily in love before her wedding. She described Dom and her mother as sharing a genuinely sweet and heartfelt love, one that seems fresh and new, which perfectly suits her mother’s youthful spirit.
Concerning her father’s upcoming situation, according to a reliable source who spoke to TopMob News in October 2022, Miley herself expressed disinterest towards it and was not romantically involved nor maintained a relationship with her potential stepmother.
According to the source, the divorce of her parents has made it difficult for her to bond with her father for the past year. She is hopeful that they may be able to repair their relationship in the future.
Billy Ray expressed to People magazine that despite his recent engagement, there are no lingering ill feelings within his family.
He stated, “Everyone is moving on to the next chapter.” It has been quite a journey, but everyone understood that it was high time for something new.
On October 10, 2023, they tied the knot with each other, referring to it as the “lovely, blissful occasion when our two spirits came together as a single, sacred bond in marriage.
It seems that whatever disagreement arose between Miley and her father was still unresolved by the evening of the 2024 Grammys, which took place on February 4th.
Tish, Brandi, and Maxx Morano, who is Miley’s beau, were all present. When Miley won Record of the Year, they all received acknowledgments from the “Flowers” performer.
As Miley concluded her speech, “I don’t think I forgot anyone.”
Among the three stories about Noah’s relationship with Dominic, none have been definitively confirmed or denied. However, in April 2024, the Grammy-nominated singer responded sharply to an Instagram commenter who insinuated that both Noah and Tish had intimate relationships with the actor, labeling the remark as crude.
In a regrettable manner, Noah responded with, “Could you possibly swallow the thickest straw temporarily? I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Approximately eight months following their wedding, Billy Ray petitioned to nullify the marriage, claiming in legal paperwork that it was entered into through deceit.
He listed May 22, 2024, as their date of separation.
However, Billy Ray amended his plan and filed for divorce, which was settled that August.
In a statement to TopMob News, Billy Ray expressed that he had never encountered anything quite as preposterous or bizarre as the current scam. Remarkably, he found himself at the heart of this intricate deception, making him the primary focus. Regrettably, things unfolded in this manner.
trace opened a january 22nd, 2025 instagram post addressed to his father with these words: “From my earliest recollections, you’ve been the source of my obsession and admiration. I’ve always thought you were the epitome of cool. I aspired to be like you. The day you welcomed me into our family was the most joyous moment of my life. Regrettably, the person I yearned so deeply to emulate is almost unrecognizable to me now.
Speaking about his sisters, he went on to say, “For quite a few years now, my sisters and I have truly been concerned about your wellbeing. However, it seems like we’ve all been kept at arm’s length by you.
Noah was especially hurt, according to Trace.
In his message, he expressed that Noah deeply desires your presence in her life, but you’ve been absent. He emphasized that your daughter is important and deserves more than what she’s currently receiving. Somehow, similar to him, she still admires you, yet we all hold onto memories of the person you once were, hoping for the day when you reappear.
Following concerns expressed by his son Trace, as well as his other children Miley, Brandi, and Noah, the country music star penned a message in the caption of a YouTube Shorts post on January 26, 2025. This message conveyed that he was seeking prayers for his entire family, including his sons, daughters, and their mother.
In March 2025, it appeared that Billy Ray’s relationship with his children was strengthening, as he posted a heartfelt homage to Miley and Noah, celebrating their recent musical accomplishments.
He expressed his admiration on Instagram, stating that they’ve raised their artistry to unparalleled heights. He congratulated the ladies and expressed his immense pride in them. Tears were streaming down his face as he typed this message, though they couldn’t see him. Thank goodness for that!
On May 2025, Billy Ray posted a picture of him alongside Miley, Maxx Morando (Miley’s boyfriend), and Braison Cyrus (Braison Cyrus’ son) at what seems to be Billy Ray’s farm in Tennessee. He titled his Instagram post “Happy Birthday Braison!!!” as a birthday greeting.
The next day, Miley finally addressed the speculations about the family feud, acknowledging on Instagram that she and her father have faced difficulties throughout the years.
Miley went on to say, “At this stage in my life, my family takes precedence over everything else. It’s comforting to see that bridges have been mended and time has brought a great deal of healing. I am deeply thankful for the wellbeing and affection we share within our family.
