Billy Ray Cyrus is opening up about where things stand with his family after years of public speculation surrounding reported tensions within the Cyrus clan.

Billy Ray Cyrus reflects on family healing
Despite years of headlines about possible rifts within the family, Billy Ray said he is proud of his children and looking ahead rather than dwelling on the past.
“Life is a series of adjustments, and I think my family always knew that. We’ve all been through a lot, and we’ve seen a lot. Whatever happened is in the rearview mirror,” he said. “The past is over and done. The future is what we have, and we got to look forward.”
His comments come after years of fan speculation about his relationships with several members of the Cyrus family following his divorce from Tish Cyrus.

“All these years later it’s going back to our roots as a family,” Billy Ray told the outlet. “And to be in this moment with them, it’s just a great celebration of our family.”
