Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus Reunite Amid Family Drama

It didn’t help the couple had met on the Hannah Montana set years before.

At the time of his marriage, the Old Town Road singer was in a downward spiral. He filed for divorce from Firerose just seven months after tying the knot, with both hurling accusations of physical, mental, and verbal abuse, as well as her claim that Billy Ray was a “persistent” drug user. (Both denied all allegations.)

Months later, Billy Ray generated more negative headlines for his disastrous performance at January’s Liberty Ball – as well as a public plea from his son Trace, 36, to turn things around amid his ongoing estrangement from several of the Cyrus clan.

The Grammy winner adopted Tish’s kids Brandi, 37, and Trace when they wed in 1993; they went on to welcome Miley, Braison, 31, and Noah, 25. He’s also dad to Christopher Cody, 33, from his romance with ex Kristin Luckey.

“Miley was concerned like everyone else,” said our source, adding despite leaving Billy Ray out of her Grammy acceptance speech in early February: “She’s now reaching out more and staying in contact.”
