Billy Ray Cyrus Seeks Family Reconciliation, Praises Ex-Wife Tish

Billy Ray Cyrus has publicly extended an olive branch to his ex-wife Tish Cyrus and acknowledged his role in their marital difficulties. In a heartfelt Mother's Day Instagram post, the country music star praised Tish as a "strong mother" while candidly admitting his own shortcomings during their marriage.

"We are so close to a full healing," Billy Ray wrote in the post, suggesting ongoing efforts to repair family relationships. This public statement comes after a period of reported estrangement within the Cyrus family.

The timing appears significant as it follows a recent reunion between Billy Ray and his daughter Miley Cyrus, who reportedly came together to celebrate her brother Braison's birthday. This gathering marked an important step in mending family ties.

In his message, Billy Ray took responsibility for being difficult to live with, stating that being married to him "wasn't easy" and acknowledging the mistakes he made during their relationship.

The public reconciliation efforts indicate the Cyrus family may be working toward resolving tensions that emerged following Billy Ray and Tish's divorce.
