Breaking News: Billy Ray Cyrus Reacts Sweetly to Miley Cyrus' Engagement to Maxx Morando

Miley Cyrus announced her engagement to Maxx Morando on December 1, and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, quickly shared his joy on Instagram. Expressing his happiness, Billy Ray celebrated the couple taking the next step in their relationship.

This public display of support comes after years of tension within the Cyrus family. Despite past conflicts, Billy Rays message focused on love and positivity, highlighting the bond between Miley and her godmother, Dolly Parton.

On December 3, Billy Ray posted a throwback photo of himself with Miley and Dolly, captioning it with heartfelt congratulations: No wonder you turned out so special You have the greatest Godmother in the world!!! So happy you and MaxxAgazillion found each other!!!! Congratulations! Happy to see you both so happy!!! Love, Dad

The post marks a noticeable thaw in family relations. Following Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus divorce in 2022, and Tishs subsequent marriage to Dominic Purcell in 2023, tensions had remained high. Miley had even left her father out of her Grammy acceptance speech in 2024, although he reportedly tried reaching out afterward.

Earlier this year, Miley extended a gesture of reconciliation by releasing the song Secrets, featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood, which she described as a peace offering to her father. She shared on the red carpet at the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere that Billy Ray was honored to have the track dedicated to him, noting, Thats the fun thing about putting out music for someone that you love. Its adding onto his legacy by attaching this song to him.

With the engagement announcement, it appears that Miley and Billy Ray are rebuilding their relationship, and fans are hopeful that he will play a role in her upcoming wedding celebrations.
