The father-daughter duo that brought viewers Hannah Montana has some drama off the screen, and it may not be the kind they can sing their way out of.
Miley Cyrus was not on speaking terms with her father, Billy Ray, long before he officially tied the knot with his fiancée, Firerose.
What started the beef between Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus?
Billy Ray and Miley’s mom, Tish, were married for nearly 30 years.
The pair filed for divorce in 2010 and again in 2013, before reconciling both times.
When the two called it quits for the third time in April 2022, Miley was reportedly Team Tish.
By August 2023, Miley had unfollowed her dad on Instagram.
Tish and Billy Ray had reportedly been living separately for over two years before their divorce.
While it’s not been confirmed, Billy Ray’s relationship with his new wife, Johanna Rosie Hodges, may be to blame for the father-daughter’s ongoing drama.
It’s not impossible that it’s tied to her stepmother – who is only four years her senior.
Why are Miley and Billy Ray still feuding?
Only a few months after the news of her parent’s divorce came out, her dad was engaged to an Australian singer Firerose, who is just four years older than Miley.
Following their engagement in August 2023, fans noticed Miley had unfollowed her father on Instagram the same month.
To add more fuel to the fire, Tish Cyrus tied the knot with Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell on August 19, 2023. The two were wed during an intimate wedding ceremony in Malibu.
Among the attendees were her son Trace, daughter Brandy, and Miley, who was the maid of honor.
How did Firerose and Billy Ray meet?
Firerose and Billy Ray met over a decade ago when she auditioned for a part on Hannah Montana.
She told Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Ryan: ” Since then, he’s been a phenomenal supporter of my music.”
“He’s just really believed in me and continued to tell me to pursue my dreams no matter what and not give up.”
“The music industry is not easy, but he’s been just a really, really incredible support.”
The two began collaborating on music during the pandemic, which is when their relationship reportedly began to blossom.
The duo tied the knot after one year of dating. Billy Ray shared photos of the lavish ceremony on his Instagram.
