‘Hannah Montana’ turns 20: Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray and the reunion that struck a chord
USA TODAY
Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus reunited on the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. Here’s why the moment means so much to fans.
Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus joined his daughter Miley on Tuesday as a guest on her Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. It’s a reunion fans might not have thought possible, given the headlines about the family’s feuds in recent years.
In an in-depth interview with "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper about the most epic moments from the series, where Miley Cyrus also dished about growing up with stars like Dylan Sprouse, Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez, the reunion of one of Hollywood’s most famous father-daughter duos struck a chord.
"I'm really excited for him to be here, because I know how much our relationship means to everyone that watched this show," Miley Cyrus said. "I think when me and my dad are good, people, they feel better. It just feels good when the Cyruses are getting along.”
From 2006 to 2011, the father-daughter pair were in the spotlight as Miley Cyrus starred in “Hannah Montana,” the hit Disney Channel series that launched her to superstardom. But the two later experienced a rift after the show ended.
Billy Ray’s April 2022 divorce from Miley's mother Tish Cyrus, followed by her marriage to Dominic Purcell in August 2023, further complicated that family dynamic. Rumors about a rift between sister Noah Cyrus and their mother Tish, swirled that same year.
