AceShowbiz - It looks like Billy Ray Cyrus wants to end the family feud with Miley Cyrus. The "Old Town Road" crooner reportedly congratulated his daughter despite being snubbed by the "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker during her Grammy speech.
"He's tried reaching out to Miley many times and congratulated her on her Grammys," a source exclusively told Us Weekly. "The kids have chosen sides, but friends are hoping the rift doesn't last forever."
Miley and Billy started drifting apart following his divorce from Tish Cyrus in 2022. The pair "are on the outs" because "Miley's very close with her mom and is standing by her," according to the source.
Noah Cyrus, meanwhile, has "always been close with Billy Ray," the insider added. "It's caused a rift between her and Miley."
"The family dynamics haven't been the same since the divorce, and now that Tish and Billy Ray are with other people, there's even more division among them all," a second insider explained to Us. Noting that Noah and Braison were invited to Tish's wedding but "opted not to go," the informant continued, "It's no secret neither of them approves of [Dominic Purcell], and that's created tension with their mom."
Miley snubbed her dad during her award speech at the 66th Grammy awards. The singer, who took home Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year awards for her song "Flowers", didn't acknowledge Billy while giving shout-outs to her mom Tish, sister Brandi Cyrus and boyfriend Maxx Morando.
"Thank you all so much," the former wife of Liam Hemsworth said, before jokingly added, "I don't think I forgot anyone, but I might've forgotten underwear. Bye!"
Miley further fueled the snub speculations when she didn't mention the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner in her post-Grammys Instagram message on Monday. "To my mommy @tishcyruspurcell I love you more than anything in the entire universe," the Disney Channel alum penned. "My family, @brandicyrus thank you for being there like always, my godmother @dollyparton - I felt your fairy dust everywhere."
