Well well well, if it isn’t our favorite Disney Channel graduate-turned-rock goddess Miley Cyrus, arm-in-arm with her mullet-rockin’ dad Billy Ray Cyrus, proving once again that no amount of family drama can stand between a girl and her dad’s throwback country vibes (and possibly fringe jackets).
🎉 Happy Birthday, Braison! 🎉
The reason for this rare Cyrus family gathering? Braison Cyrus turned the big 3-1, and Billy Ray was feelin’ the love, posting a cozy family photo to the ‘Gram. There was hugging, smiling, and only one person looked like they were secretly trying to remember if they left the oven on (looking at you, Maxx Morando—Miley’s boyfriend, who’s probably just wondering how he got cast in this season of “Keeping Up with the Cyruses”).
Miley was seen clinging to Maxx like he was the last oat milk latte on earth, while Billy Ray gave serious “cool dad who brings his guitar to brunch” energy.
But cue dramatic soap opera musi… one key person was missing: Mama Tish Cyrus. And the absence wasn’t just physical, oh no—it went digital.
🕵️♀️ Instagram Unfollows & Other Scandals
In true 2025 fashion, the biggest indicator of a family rift wasn’t a tell-all interview or a flying plate—it was an Instagram unfollow. Tish reportedly hit the digital eject button on Miley’s profile, sparking mass hysteria in the comments section. And if that’s not 21st-century shade, I don’t know what is.
Now, this isn’t the first eyebrow-raising moment from the Cyrus fam this year. Deep breath: Miley may or may not have skipped Tish’s wedding to Dominic “Prison Break Daddy” Purcell, and just when you thought that was peak drama, Miley’s brother Trace Cyrus went full “Family Therapy, But Make It Public,” dropping an open letter urging their dad to get help after a less-than-legendary performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ball.
Billy Ray, ever the poetic cowboy, has since responded with the digital equivalent of “It’s fine, I’m fine, everything’s fine,” and presumably rode off into the Instagram sunset.
👢 So… Where Do We Stand?
TL;DR: Miley and Billy Ray are back on hugging terms. Tish might be throwing Insta-shade. Trace is writing letters. Maxx is just trying to make it through the family dinners. And honestly, if this doesn’t end in a country-rock reality show, we’ve all been robbed.
Stay tuned, y’all—the Cyrus Family Saga is the best show you’re not streaming yet.
