Miley Cyrus has a newfound appreciation for her parents — and that includes dad Billy Ray Cyrus' surprising new romance with Elizabeth Hurley.
It's no secret that the Cyrus family has weathered years of drama, with Trace Cyrus, Miley's older brother, famously calling out the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer in January, after he performed at a Donald Trump inauguration event. ( was also written in the wake of Billy Ray's messy divorce from Firerose, and several years after his divorce from longtime wife Tish Cyrus.)
As the Metro Station singer wrote at the time, "The man that I wanted so desperately to be I barely recognize now," specifically mentioning how his sisters have been negatively affected by their dad's behavior. "Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away," he added.

Now, however, Miley is speaking out from a place of newfound appreciation for both of her parents — and their respective new relationships. (Tish, for her part, has been married to Dominic Purcell since 2023, while Billy Ray and Hurley went public with their unexpected romance in April.)
"Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing,” the "Flowers" singer told The New York Times in a new interview. “I’m being an adult about it.”
Still, it took time for her to get to that place — especially with her dad, who previously co-starred with her on Hannah Montana.

“At first it’s hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, ‘Yes, that’s your dad, but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy,’” the "Malibu" artist shared candidly. “My child self has caught up.”
As for Billy Ray and Hurley's romance, the couple made their red carpet debut last week after months of gushing about each other via Instagram and in interviews.

The pair first connected on the set of the 2022 holiday movie, Christmas in Paradise. While they didn't get together then, "the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there," Billy Ray shared in April on the The Ty Bentli Show.
He also revealed that Hurley initiated their romance by sending him a text message in the middle of his headline-making drama.
"Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner. You’ve got a friend in your corner,” she wrote at the time, which eventually blossomed into a romance.
