Elizabeth is even encouraging her man to mend his “fractured relationship” with Miley. The father-daughter duo is allegedly estranged due to his poor treatment of her mother, Tish, whom Billy Ray divorced in 2022.
Nonetheless, Miley is still grateful for the role he has played in her life and career.
“Without my dad, I know — I mean, not just literally I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair, I wouldn’t exist — but I would not, who I am as a person, it wouldn’t exist,” she explained on David Letterman’s series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction in June 2024. “Because my dad, as a creative and as an artist in the way that his brain works, has always made me feel safer in my own mind because we’re very similar in our ideas.”
However, the “Wrecking Ball” singer claims she “inherited from him, more so than the way that [she] was raised.”
“Really, my mom raised me,” she declared.
