In a recent episode of The Interview podcast, Miley Cyrus discussed her feelings regarding her father Billy Ray's new relationship with model Elizabeth Hurley. This candid conversation marked a significant moment in Miley's relationship with her father, revealing how she had to navigate her emotions regarding his romantic life. She admitted to initially struggling with his new relationship, but emphasized how her adult self eventually understood the importance of her father finding happiness beyond their past family dynamics. Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley made their relationship public on Easter Sunday, a development that followed Billy Ray's divorce from Tish Cyrus in 2022, after nearly three decades of marriage. During the podcast, Miley also addressed years of speculation about a rift between her and her father, confirming they are no longer estranged. The singer expressed that time and shared experiences have helped them reconnect, emphasizing the importance of family as she grows older.

Miley acknowledged her mother's lifelong affection for Billy Ray and reflected on the challenges that come with being part of a family where both parents work in the entertainment industry. She mentioned, “I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of, you know, a parental pairing.” The discussion highlighted Miley’s journey towards understanding her parents as individuals rather than just parents, which has shifted as she has matured. Throughout the podcast, she expressed gratitude for the healing that has occurred over time, stating that family is her priority now, and she feels a sense of peace regarding her family relationships. This progress has also been echoed by Billy Ray, who publicly praised Miley's strength and courage in multiple social media posts, culminating in a rare family reunion for her brother Braison's birthday.
