Billy Ray Cyrus had kind words for his ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, in a social media tribute to her on her 59th birthday.
On Wednesday, the “Achy Breaky Heart” hitmaker shared a video of himself playing his 2007 hit “Ready, Set, Don’t Go,” dedicating the informal acoustic performance to “Hannah Montana Nation and all our friends at Disney,” while marking Tish’s and his mother Ruthie’s birthdays.
“Got stars ⭐️ in her eyes, the prize is hers to win,” Billy Ray captioned the upload, quoting lyrics from the song.
“Two of the greatest mothers EVER were born on this day and tomorrow, my mother Ruthie on May 14th … and the mother driving Miley down that driveway as I wrote the song ‘Ready Set Don’t Go,’” he wrote.
“Happy Birthday Tish. Wishing you peace, love, and happiness … forever.”
Fans took to the comments thread on Wednesday to gush over the heartfelt tribute, with one writing, “🥺💕 brb crying.”
Another remarked, “Obsessed with this version 😍😍🫶🏻” while a third chimed in, “This songs always makes me cry.”
The former couple’s youngest child, Noah Cyrus, wrote, “I was given the best parents in the whole world…life’s so special 🎀💗 happy birthday to my mommy and mamaw !!! i miss my grandma every day.”
A rep for Tish did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Wednesday afternoon.
Cyrus’ mom, Ruth Ann Casto, died back in 2022 at the age of 85.
Billy Ray, 64, and Tish, 59 — who share kids Brandi, 38, and Trace, 37, (both of whom Billy Ray adopted after marrying Tish in 1993), as well as Miley, 33, Braison, 32, and Noah, 26 — divorced in 2022 after nearly thirty years of marriage.
“We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths,” they wrote in a joint statement to People at the time.
The split touched off a flurry of family drama that seems to have died down amid Billy Ray’s friendly birthday tribute to Trish.
Billy Ray went on to briefly marry singer Firerose, 37, whom he divorced in 2024 after less than a year of marriage, while Tish married “Prison Break” star Dominic Purcell, 56, in 2023.
The country star has since launched an epic romance with supermodel Elizabeth Hurley, 60.
The “Austin Powers” star chatted exclusively with Page Six about the whirlwind relationship at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York on Tuesday.
When asked if she’d ever imagined herself in a romance with Cyrus, while spending time at his Tennessee ranch, she said, “I hadn’t really had that foresight to have that, but funnily enough, the farm in Tennessee is very similar to my farm in Gloucestershire, so in a way it kind of feels normal.”
Hurley — who welcomed her own son, 24-year-old Damian Hurley, with late producer Steve Bing — has apparently eased into blended family life with Billy Ray.
She was spotted attending the Stagecoach Festival last month, where Billy Ray took the stage alongside Noah and Braison for a performance of “On Our Way Along.”
“Yeeehaaaaaw,” the swimsuit designer captioned an Instagram post last month marking the occasion. “Loved my first trip to Stagecoach watching @billyraycyrus @noahcyrus and @braisonccyrus perform their new single On Our Way Along 💗💗💗”
