The Cyrus family is determined to keep their personal matters private and away from the public eye. Amid speculations about the family dynamics following Trace Cyrus’s heartfelt open letter to his father, Billy Ray, after the elder Cyrus’s inauguration performance, a source close to the Cyrus family has debunked any rumours of discord.
“They have already dealt with the drama of 2024, and they are looking forward to a fresh start in the new year,” stated an insider. “Miley, Noah, Braison, and Tish are united in their desire to prevent any potential ‘Cyrus family feud’. This situation is not something they want to engage in.”
Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, shares his children Trace, 35, Braison, 30, Brandi, 37, Miley, 31, and Noah, 25, with his ex-wife Tish, 57, whom he divorced in 2022. The family members mentioned in the open letter, Braison and representatives for Tish, Miley, and Noah, have not responded to requests for comments from PEOPLE.
In a surprise announcement on January 24, Billy Ray revealed that he will be releasing a new album in the summer produced by his son Braison. This news came amidst significant attention following the inauguration performance, which encountered technical issues and appeared to prompt Trace’s public letter shared on Instagram.
However, the source clarified that the album announcement on January 24 was a pre-planned decision made by Billy Ray last fall, unrelated to the recent events of the week. Braison, who marked his Grand Ole Opry debut in July with his father by his side, expressed his admiration for Billy Ray and his excitement for their upcoming record.
Reflecting on their relationship, Billy Ray stated, “I am incredibly proud to share this musical journey with my son. This album is going to be something special.” Meanwhile, Trace’s letter expressed concerns about his father’s well-being and sobriety, indicating a deep level of care and worry for Billy Ray’s health and happiness.
The Cyrus family has previously shown support and affection for one another publicly. In a throwback post on Instagram in June, Billy Ray shared a special moment with Noah, highlighting their strong bond. Miley also opened up about her relationship with her father in an interview, emphasizing the love and sacrifices made by her parents for their children.
Navigating the complexities of family relationships under the spotlight can be challenging, as seen in the Cyrus family’s journey. As they strive to maintain unity and understanding within their family unit, the public remains curious about their ongoing dynamics and the future of their relationships. Billy Ray’s upcoming album, produced by Braison, symbolizes a meaningful collaboration between father and son in the realm of music, showcasing a different facet of their bond.
The Cyrus family saga showcases the intricacies of familial relationships, underscoring the importance of communication, support, and love in overcoming obstacles and maintaining strong connections. As the family continues to navigate their personal challenges and triumphs, their story serves as a reminder of the complexities and joys that come with familial ties in the entertainment industry.
