Miley Cyrus disclosed that her mother, Tish Cyrus, provided misguided dating advice by prioritizing physical attractiveness over compatibility, a revelation made during a family interview with The Cut. She now values respect in her relationship with musician Maxx Morando, marking a significant personal evolution.
In the interview, Miley explained that Tish often encouraged her to stay with “wrong guys” solely because they were hot, which influenced her past relationships, including her marriage to Liam Hemsworth. She described having to learn the importance of mutual respect independently, as her mother’s advice did not emphasize it. “I had to find someone who treats me with respect, and then Mom never really put that on the top three of her must-haves,” Miley stated, highlighting her shift in values.
Tish Cyrus, now married to actor Dominic Purcell, defended her stance humorously, noting that being with an attractive partner means you have something pleasant to look at over time. However, she acknowledged that her perspective has matured since finding a partner who is both good-looking and respectful. “Well, that was great advice because after so many years, you’re kind of over it and you’re like… in a relationship. At least you get to look at somebody that’s frigging hot!” Tish said in response.
Miley’s sisters, Brandi and Noah Cyrus, participated in the discussion, with Brandi noting that their mother’s dating advice has evolved over time. She mentioned that Tish’s children are more cautious in love, learning from their mother’s experiences, including her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus and subsequent marriage to Purcell. Brandi added, “I think that they have been much more cautious in love than I was, and taken longer to make sure it’s the right person.”
The interview also touched on broader family dynamics, with Miley expressing that family is now her priority and there has been healing after past estrangements. This openness provides a glimpse into the personal lives of the Cyrus family amidst public scrutiny, reflecting on how celebrity families navigate personal growth publicly.
Miley’s journey from following superficial advice to seeking respectful relationships resonates with many who have received similar guidance from loved ones. It underscores the importance of personal growth and setting one’s standards in intimate partnerships, rather than relying solely on external opinions.
Ultimately, this story highlights the complexities of familial influence and the path to self-discovery in relationships, offering a relatable narrative for audiences. Miley’s willingness to share this intimate detail humanizes her public persona and emphasizes the value of learning from one’s own experiences to build healthier connections.
