For years, Miley Cyrus and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, were the epitome of father-daughter goals. Their relationship, both on and off-screen, was iconic, especially during their time together on Hannah Montana. Miley starred as Miley Stewart, an average teenager living a double life as a pop star, while Billy Ray portrayed her loving father, Robby Ray.
The duo worked together for five unforgettable seasons on the Disney Channel hit, and their bond only deepened when they starred side-by-side in Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009. Fans watched them navigate the ups and downs of fame, and it felt like nothing could shake their closeness. From the red carpets to the set, Miley and Billy Ray were always there for each other, proving they were more than just co-stars—they were a real-life dynamic duo.

Their relationship became a symbol of the perfect father-daughter bond, with fans across the world looking up to their connection. Together, they were not just part of a show—they were family, both on-screen and in the hearts of millions of viewers.
But in recent years, their once-close bond has crumbled, and now, the two are reportedly no longer speaking.
The trouble began when Billy Ray and Miley’s mom, Tish, announced their split after nearly three decades of marriage. As the family navigated this major change, Miley is said to have taken her mother’s side, which started to create tension between her and her father. Things escalated when Billy Ray married Australian singer Firerose, who is 25 years younger than him.

This marriage, however, was short-lived, lasting only seven months before they publicly announced their divorce.
Since then, the relationship between father and daughter has taken a dark turn. In one particularly shocking moment, a recording of Billy Ray’s heated argument with Firerose surfaced. In the audio, Billy Ray can be heard screaming and hurling insults, including calling Miley a “devil” and a “skank.”
This betrayal left fans in disbelief, and it reportedly pushed Miley to completely sever ties with her father, declaring that she had no intention of ever speaking to him again.

Since then, there has been little public communication between the two. However, recently, Billy Ray appeared to be trying to rebuild his relationship with Miley, expressing regret for the fallout. While some fans expressed hope that they could eventually reconcile, many were quick to remind Billy Ray of the harsh words he’d said about his daughter.
Miley turned 32 on November 23, and Billy Ray posted a throwback photo of him holding Miley as a baby. He lovingly wished her a happy birthday, but fans were quick to remind him of the terrible things that he had said.
Happy Birthday Mile !!! Hope it’s the best one ever !
(I know I dropped the “y”. That’s what I called @mileycyrus most of her life. ❤️)

One commenter noted, “Now you want to play father of the year? A little late for that, don’t you think?” Another questioned, “So she’s not the ‘devil’s skank’? Was that just a joke, or…?”
Others weren’t so forgiving, urging Billy Ray to stay away from Miley. “Get a job and stay away from her,” one fan advised.
While a few people defended Billy Ray, saying that everyone makes mistakes, many felt that some things—especially words as hurtful as those—are too much to come back from. Yet, despite the public outcry, there are still some who hope that Miley and Billy Ray will find a way to heal their fractured relationship.
