It’s not clear why there had been a rift between the family, but Miley somewhat spoke about the complicated relationship with her dad during a wide-ranging interview with David Letterman on his Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. Letterman tried to broach the subject of her alleged estrangement from Billy Ray, but Miley danced around it, saying, “I think what is so beautiful is that my parents … they served their children. My parents served us and sacrificed so much for us. Anything we dreamed of, they made possible.”
She also said that while Billy Ray gave her a “map” of “what to do and what not to do” in her career, adding, “I also inherited the narcissism from my father.” When Miley Cyrus won her very first Grammy in 2023 for Record of the Year, she only thanked her mom and sister Brandi (and godmother Dolly Parton) in her acceptance speech and on Instagram — leaving her dad out of both.
In other feud rumors, multiple outlets reported that Noah and Tish were not speaking following Tish’s relationship with Dominic Purcell, with whom Noah had some sort of alleged romantic relationship, according to PEOPLE. Neither has directly addressed that rumor, though Noah did clap back at a commenter under one of her Instagram posts in a, uh, pointed way.
Despite the speculation, Noah and Tish squashed that all last month when Noah co-hosted Tish’s podcast, Sorry We’re Cyrus — replacing co-host Brandi for an episode. During the recording, the two seemed very happy in each other’s presence and revealed that Noah had recently moved closer to her mom.
“Noah moved this year,” Tish said, before Noah added, “very close to her.”
“That’s been so good for us. Being able to go on our walks and we found our new favorite ice cream truck,” Noah said of Tish.
The two then gushed over Noah’s fiancée, German fashion designer Pinkus, saying that “my fiancé and my mom are really close.”
It’s unclear where all the kids stand with one another, but Noah did wish Braison a happy birthday on her Instagram Stories on Friday, sharing a photo of her big brother with the caption, “Happy birthday bubby!!!!! I love you so much.”
In January, following Billy Ray Cyrus’s performance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Trace Cyrus shared an emotional open letter to his dad on Instagram, along with a photo, saying that he “barely” recognizes “the man that I wanted so desperately to be.”
“Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away,” Trace continued. “Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better.”
It’s unclear where Noah stands with Billy Ray, but she did share her support of her father’s new song in February, posting on Instagram “so proud of my Dads INCREDIBLE new single LOST with my good, old friend @samtinnesz and @tommeeprofitt.”
