Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus Reunite With Help From Country Legend Dolly Parton

Miley Cyrus has been at odds with dad Billy Ray Cyrus for a long while, but insiders now reveal the “Flowers” songbird is offering an olive branch to her father, hoping to pull their fractured family together — and she has country godmother Dolly Parton to thank.

Sources say that the 79-year-old “I Will Always Love You” singer has been urging the 32-year-old singer to chuck her grudges, and Miley’s answered the call — reuniting with Billy Ray to celebrate her brother Braison’s 31st birthday May 9.

“My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else,” the “Wrecking Ball” singer says.

“I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.”

According to a insider, Miley’s words were sweet music to Dolly’s ears.

“Dolly is Miley’s godmother and they’ve been close since Miley was so young,” says an insider. “But Dolly is also close with Billy Ray and the family feud was breaking her heart.”

The “Jolene” singer reportedly advised Miley that the only way Billy Ray can snap out of what seems to be a midlife crisis is if his family is unified and focused
on helping him.

As GLOBE revealed, the family disapproved of the “Achy Breaky Heart” crooner’s marriage to 28-years-younger Aussie singer Firerose that ended in a bitter divorce after just seven months.

Last January, Dolly, fans and family grew concerned after Billy Ray’s bizarre performance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration where he appeared confused by a bunch of technical difficulties and at one point asked the audience: “Y’all want me to sing more, or you want me to just get the hell off the stage?”

Now Billy Ray’s been trying to find a way back into the hearts of his family, saying how proud he is of daughters Noah Cyrus and Miley on social media.

“Dolly believes he’s embarrassed by his massive misfire with Firerose and his efforts to mend bridges with his kids and his ex Tish Cyrus are sincere,” notes the insider.

While she’s skeptical over Billy Ray’s new romance with Austin Powers beauty Elizabeth Hurley, sources say she believes the British siren is a major upgrade.

“Dolly’s been urging Miley to give her dad another chance and you can imagine how thrilled she is that Miley’s followed her advice,” adds the source.
