In the wake of Billy Ray Cyrus’ split and ongoing divorce from estranged wife Tish Cyrus, he had a falling out with his daughter Miley Cyrus.
The Sun is reporting that the pair had some sort of fight, and that things have escalated to the point where they have cut off communication with each other, including unfollowing one another on Instagram.
The rift between them reportedly reared its ugly face after the country music star publicly announced his split from Miley’s mother in April after nearly 29 years of marriage.
‘Miley is all about peace but she didn’t agree with some things that her father has done. It has really escalated and they are not on good terms,’ a source told the publication.
‘There were words exchanged over what happened towards the end of Billy and Tish’s marriage,’ the insider maintained, and since then ‘they clearly see things very differently.’
Their relationship has gotten to the point where neither father nor daughter is willing to take the first step and offer an olive branch to mend their differences.
‘Neither of them is particularly eager to make amends right now without an apology,’ that person close to the situation shared.
In fact, both father and daughter sound like they’ve dug their feet into the ground deep enough that they aren’t willing to budge on the matter.
‘The rest of the family are hoping it will blow over soon and they will be able to make up, but Billy and Miley are both upset,’ the source explained.
Tish and Billy Ray got married in December 1993 and they share five children: Miley, 29, Noah, 22, and Braison, 27. Tish also has two children Brandi, 34, and Trace, 33, from previous relationship, both of which were adopted by Billy Ray, who also has a son, Christopher, with his ex-Kristin Luckey.
This is the third time Billy Ray and Tish have separated and taken steps towards divorce proceedings, one of which led to an estrangement between the country music star and Miley.
Billy Ray was the first to file for divorce back in October 2010, which led to a shaky situation with Miley to the point that they became estranged in the years since Hannah Montana ended.
‘The damn show destroyed my family,’ the Dancing With The Stars alum told GQ in 2011 of the Disney series, for which Billy Ray played the father of Miley’s character Miley Stewart, before adding, ‘It’s all sad.’
