LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Miley Cyrus has found herself in the middle of a fresh wave of family drama after her mother Tish Cyrus briefly unfollowed her on Instagram. This came after her father Billy Ray Cyrus teased a possible reconciliation with the singer on social media.

Tish's action, which fans quickly noticed, came just an hour after Billy Ray shared a sentimental clip of Miley performing and wrote, “Can’t wait to see this young lady. Crazy how time flies.”

While a source later told Page Six that the unfollow was simply a “glitch” and insisted that “there’s no drama,” the online gesture reignited speculation about long-standing rifts within the high-profile family.

The Cyrus family has been navigating through a few rocky years since Tish and Billy Ray finalized their divorce in 2022 after three decades of marriage. The breakup strained Miley’s relationship with her father, especially as both parents moved on with new partners.

Tish tied the knot with actor Dominic Purcell, while Billy Ray was briefly married to singer Firerose before divorcing her in under a year.

At the time of their divorce, they shared in a joint statement, “It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways not with sadness, but with love in our hearts. We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths.”

Shortly after the news broke, E! News shared that Miley's bond with her father had taken a hit in the wake of the separation.

An insider revealed to the outlet that Miley found it difficult to stay close to her father since her parents' divorce, saying, “The divorce between her parents has put a strain on Miley’s relationship with her dad and it’s been hard to connect with him in the last year. She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship.”

Additional tension surfaced when Us Weekly reported that Tish allegedly began dating Purcell while he was still seeing Miley’s sister, Noah Cyrus. Though Tish and Noah appeared to patch things up recently with a joint TikTok dance, the broader family dynamic remains complicated.

At the 2024 Grammys, Miley appeared to signal her loyalty to her mother by bringing Tish as her date and notably excluding her father from her acceptance speech.

One user wrote, “The Cyrus parents are so gross for constantly pitting their children against each other and their other parent... it’s crazy!!”



 

Another shared, “She should make a 'family' song exposing all this s**t and get out of that toxic thing.”



 

“Normalize not weaponizing your children in your own relationship issues JFC. Miley deserves better,” one person commented, while another wrote, “This family is f**ked up!”



 



 

One individual commented, “Poor Miley, she has a very toxic family. I hope she has her own family soon.”
