Miley Cyrus Reportedly Banned Dad Billy Ray’s Girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley From ‘Hannah Montana’ Event

Miley Cyrus rekindled her relationship with dad Billy Ray Cyrus ahead of the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premiere. But she reportedly wasn’t so eager to play nice with her father’s girlfriend, actress Elizabeth Hurley.

According to Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack, the “Flowers” singer, 33, “personally invited” her dad and former Hannah Montana co-star to the Monday, March 23, premiere, but drew the line at extending the invitation to Hurley, 60.

“Miley wants a relationship with her dad,” a source told Shuter on Wednesday, March 25. “But her mom comes first. That’s not negotiable.”

The source added that Miley “has nothing against Elizabeth.”

Both Billy Ray, 64, and Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus, appeared in the Disney+ special, but the source told Shuter, “This was her mom’s night.”

“Her mom gave her all this. And Miley was fiercely protective of that,” added the source. “This wasn’t the moment for a blended-family debut.”

Unfortunately, the “Achey Breaky Heart” artist decided to sit out his daughter’s big night.

“He said, ‘If Elizabeth’s not invited, I’m not coming,’” said the source. “For him, it was a package deal. He wasn’t going to separate his personal life to make anyone else comfortable. He felt standing by Elizabeth mattered more.”

Billy Ray and the Austin Powers actress met while filming Christmas in Paradise in 2022, but did not become an item romantically until after his split from Firerose in 2024.

Miley and Billy Ray have had a strained relationship for years following his 2022 divorce from Tish, but according to Shuter insiders, the “7 Things” artist is “trying.”

“They’re communicating again,” the source shared. “But healed? Not even close.”
