Billy Ray Cyrus recently shared a heartfelt post on social media to mark his daughter Miley Cyrus‘s 32nd birthday. The tribute featured a nostalgic photograph of baby Miley nestled in his arms on a sunlit porch, paired with a touching caption that brought back memories of happier moments they once shared.
This gesture comes amid ongoing rumors of strain between Miley and Billy Ray, with speculation suggesting that their relationship has suffered due to the aftermath of her parents’ divorce.
A strained connection
Reports indicate that Miley and Billy Ray have faced challenges in their relationship, particularly highlighted during Miley‘s Grammy wins where she acknowledged her mother, Tish Cyrus, her sister Brandi, and her boyfriend Maxx Morando, but notably omitted her father from her thanks.
Additionally, Miley has made comments about her father that haven’t painted him in the best light, mentioning that she has inherited “narcissism” from him while expressing gratitude towards her mother for her role in her upbringing.
The situation intensified after Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from Billy Ray, which reportedly led to Miley becoming closer with her mother and drift further from her father.
A yearning for the past
Despite the evident complications, Billy Ray’s tribute suggests he is clinging to the cherished moments they had together. The sentiment behind his post indicates a desire to mend their relationship, even amid the challenges they face.
Although Miley has yet to respond to her father’s birthday wish publicly, fans are filled with hope for a reconciliation that could potentially bridge the current rift.
Billy Ray’s message serves as a touching reminder of the bond they once enjoyed, even if their relationship today is not as harmonious as it used to be.
