Billy Ray on Miley: “We have a really special relationship”

As a father, and a well-known one at that (daughter Miley Cyrus is frequent tabloid fodder), Cyrus says seeing what military families give up is “humbling.”

“The sacrifice that the entire family makes, especially the kids” while their parents are deployed, he says. “I mean, wow, do they pay a price.”

His own family has gone through turmoil in the past year, including an October announcement that he and wife Tish would divorce. Cyrus, who subsequently called off the split in March, now says they’re “doing fine” and “taking it one day at a time.”

“At this stage of our lives, we know that we’re here to represent the light and be positive.”

And as for his relationship with Miley? “It’s great,” he says. “We have a really special relationship and we’ve been through a lot together.”

In February, Cyrus told GQ that he was “scared for” Miley and the path her choices (smoking salvia from a bong in a now-infamous viral video, posing for racy photos) were leading her down. He’s more at peace these days.

“I’m enjoying seeing her happy right now, as a daddy, just seeing her loving what she’s doing,” he says of his 18-year-old daughter, who is currently on tour in Australia.

“We always had this motto, ‘If you ain’t happy, it ain’t working,”’ Cyrus says. “Both she and I right now are in the midst of our true loves of music.”
