Miley Cyrus breaks silence on dad Billy Ray’s romance with Liz Hurley as she reveals her ‘pain at parents’ divorce’

MILEY Cyrus has broken her silence over dad Billy Ray’s relationship with Liz Hurley — after reconciling with him following a ­family rift.

The Wrecking Ball singer, 32, opened up that she was handling the blossoming romance like “an adult”.

Miley fell out with the country star, 63, after the end of his 30-year marriage to her mum Tish Purcell, 58, in 2023.

But she now wishes “happiness” to her three-times wed dad and Liz, 59, despite struggling with the “pain” of seeing her parents go their separate ways.

Miley said: “I’m being an adult about it. 

“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’.

“My child self has caught up.”

The former Disney Channel star said she puts her now-resolved issues down to her closeness to her mother — who had been Billy Ray’s second wife after he divorced Cindy Smith in 1991.

She told the New York Times podcast: “My mum really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard.

“I think I took on some of my mom’s hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain.”

Confirming she was fully reconciled with her dad, Miley added: “There’s been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected. I think timing is everything.”

Billy Ray met Austin Powers star Liz on the set of their 2022 film, Christmas in Paradise.

They went public with a loved-up ­picture in a field in April.

We previously revealed Billy Ray had turned to Liz for help when his third marriage to Australian singer Firerose crumbled after seven months last year.

An insider said: “Everyone said they are world’s apart but they are very similar — they have a lot in common and have the same interests and Billy is also very much her type.”

Liz revealed last month that she is taking their relationship to the next level, by preparing to introduce him to her family.

Billy is due to meet them next week in England when she celebrates her 60th birthday.
