What is the reason behind Miley Cyrus's estrangement from father Billy Ray?

After 17 years in showbiz,

(31) finally triumphed at the Grammys. Last Sunday, the American Recording Academy awarded two gramophones to the former Disney star, who has taken the charts by storm with

, one of the most-played singles of 2023. In fact, the song is on the verge of hitting 2 billion streams on Spotify.

According to Cyrus,

— based on Bruno Mars'

and dedicated to her ex-husband

— has brought her a great deal of joy. Still, in her words from ella, the love of her fans from ella is her greatest gift from ella and the support of her family from ella is a blessing. "I want to thank everyone who is with me," she said in one of her Grammy speeches.

"Thanks to my team, my mom, my sister, my boyfriend, my dear gays... Look how good I look! Who else? To all the people we love. I don't think I forgot anyone... But maybe "I forgot to wear underwear," Cyrus joked, bringing laughter to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. But yes, she did forget someone.

Miley didn't mention

, her father, with whom she used to share a close and great relationship. And although the singer has n't spoken about their estrangement from ella, her fans from ella noticed that she and her father from ella began to drift apart in 2022 when he and the singer's mother,

, decided to

after 30 years of marriage.

According to Tish, their separation was a real nightmare that almost led her to check into a psychiatric facility. "It was all crazy because I always feared being alone. And the divorce caused a complete psychological breakdown. It was the worst, honestly. I even called a psychiatrist to ask them to please admit me because I thought it was the best thing," she said this week on the

podcast.

During that time, Miley stood firmly by her mother's side, and according to some tabloids, she cut her father out of her life to help Tish. Furthermore, Cyrus reportedly banned Billy Ray from her social media in August 2022. Between that date and mid-last year, father and daughter allegedly maintained a distant but cordial relationship. But that sympathy may have ended when Billy Ray married another woman.

In October 2023, Miley's father tied the knot with Australian musician

, who is younger than Miley herself. The singer was not present. According to media outlets, Miley has no relationship with her new stepmother and no intention of getting to know her. But she gets along famously with actor

, whom her mother married six months ago.
