Miley Cyrus knows she has somewhat tricky family dynamics, and she isn’t afraid to address them.
The “Flowers” singer is a product of her mom Tish Cyrus’ marriage to Billy Ray Cyrus; the two were married from 1993 until 2022, and together also share Braison, 30, Noah, 24, plus Tish is also a mom to Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35.
For years the Grammy-winning singer has been reportedly distanced from her dad — and Hannah Montana co-star — and just as the “Butterfly Fly Away” singer announced his already tumultuous divorce from estranged wife Firerose, his daughter has given insight into what their relationship looks like today.

During an appearance on David Letterman’s Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Miley recalled — or tried — when she first moved to Los Angeles to film Hannah Montana.
“I have a terrible memory,” she noted, before joking: “Because I also inherited the narcissism from my father,” prompting laughter from David, as she added: “It’s true. It’s okay. It’s okay.”
Later in the interview, David also asked whether “My father is my hero” was a sentiment Miley related to. Taking a sigh and a beat, she answered: “I mean honestly my mom is my hero.”
