Tish Cyrus has officially responded to swirling rumors about a possible falling out with her daughter, global pop icon Miley Cyrus. The speculation erupted after fans noticed that Tish had seemingly unfollowed Miley on Instagram, prompting online chatter about a possible family rift—especially in light of other recent family drama involving Tish’s youngest daughter, Noah Cyrus.
Let’s break down what really happened and what both mother and daughter have said—or haven’t said—about it.
The Social Media Spark: Why People Thought Tish Unfollowed Miley
In early May 2025, fans spotted something unusual online—a fan account posted that Tish Cyrus had unfollowed her daughter Miley Cyrus on Instagram. The post, which was later deleted, came just hours after Miley’s father and Tish’s ex-husband, Billy Ray Cyrus, shared a nostalgic video on social media. The video featured a very young Miley sitting at a piano, singing.
The timing of the unfollow and Billy Ray’s post fueled fan speculation, particularly because the Cyrus family has experienced multiple publicized tensions and reconciliations in recent years. As word spread across social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), fans began questioning whether the mother-daughter bond between Tish and Miley had taken a hit.
Fan Comments and Tish’s Immediate Response
The Instagram drama didn’t take long to gain traction. Under a post on Tish’s Instagram promoting a recent episode of her podcast Sorry We’re Stoned, followers flooded the comment section with concerned questions. Some fans asked, “Why did you stop following Miley?” Others speculated that Tish had even blocked her daughter.

Rather than let the rumors fester, Tish jumped into the comment section to clear the air. In response to a follower’s question, she replied:
“I didn’t! Idk what happened lol.”
Moments later, she added another comment:
“Have no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now!”
Her response was direct and casual, assuring fans that there was no intentional decision to unfollow Miley. It appeared to be either a glitch or a mistake that was corrected immediately once it was brought to her attention.
Addressing It Publicly Again: “I Would Never Unfollow Miley”
To put any remaining doubt to rest, Tish also addressed the topic more formally on X. In a post that left no room for misinterpretation, she wrote:
“I would never unfollow Miley. Her and I are as close as we’ve always been. Period. Love you Little.”
By using Miley’s family nickname “Little,” Tish emphasized their personal closeness, reinforcing that there was no underlying issue—just a minor social media misstep blown out of proportion.
Miley’s Public Gestures Toward Her Mother Say It All
Though Miley Cyrus herself hasn’t directly addressed the Instagram unfollow rumors, her recent actions speak volumes. Just weeks before the social media confusion, Miley performed her single “End of the World” and dedicated the emotional live rendition to her mother, calling her the inspiration behind the song. The track’s intimate lyrics and somber tone conveyed deep affection and vulnerability.
Miley has long been open about the important role her mother plays in her life. In interviews and public appearances, she frequently refers to Tish as her “best friend” and “biggest supporter.” Their close relationship was also evident in past collaborations, such as when Tish co-produced projects for Miley and helped manage her career during her early Disney years.
In a 2024 appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Miley got emotional while describing how Tish has consistently been a grounding force in her life, especially during times of personal and professional upheaval.
Family Drama in the Background: Recent Cyrus Family Headlines
The unfollow rumor followed hot on the heels of previous speculation involving another Cyrus sibling—Noah Cyrus. In April 2025, fans noticed Noah’s absence from several family gatherings, including Tish’s birthday celebration. Whispers about a feud between Tish and Noah gained momentum when neither followed each other on social media.
That situation was eventually laid to rest after Noah appeared in a sweet TikTok video with Tish, where the two laughed, danced, and joked together, seemingly putting rumors to bed.
Still, the scrutiny on the Cyrus family remains intense, in part due to the well-publicized breakup between Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus, who finalized their divorce in 2022 after 28 years of marriage. Since then, both have remarried—Tish to Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell in August 2023, and Billy Ray to Australian singer Firerose (although reports suggest that marriage may have recently ended in separation).
These events have led to speculation about shifting family dynamics, including which children remain close to which parent.
Nothing to See Here—Just a Glitch
Despite the drama stirred by a simple unfollow alert, both Tish and Miley have given every indication that their relationship is as strong as ever. Tish quickly clarified that she never meant to unfollow her daughter and emphasized their close bond on multiple platforms. Miley’s public dedications and emotional tributes reinforce that mutual love and respect.
In today’s age of digital hyper-surveillance, even a minor Instagram action can set off alarms—but in this case, it appears to be just that: a harmless mistake. The Cyrus mother-daughter duo remains united, unfazed by social media rumors.
