Billy Ray Cyrus has expressed his joy that his daughter Miley Cyrus is engaged.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the country star shared two photos of his daughter and her new fiancé, Maxx Morando. In one, Cyrus wraps her arms around the Liily bandmember at a restaurant and models a shiny new engagement ring.
“So happy you and MaxxAgazillion found each other!” Billy Ray wrote. “Congratulations! Happy to see you both so happy!”
The Achy Breaky Heart singer also posted a throwback snap of himself and Miley with Dolly Parton.
“No wonder you turned out so special. You have the greatest Godmother in the world,” he added in the caption, which he signed, “love Dad.”
The congratulatory message comes a day after news broke that Miley and Morando were planning to get married after four years of dating.
This week, the pop star confirmed her engagement in an interview with Billboard, revealing that she isn’t in a rush to walk down the aisle.
“Now with the holidays coming up, I’ll have a little bit more time to think about it,” she said of wedding-date planning.
“My instinct is always to enjoy every moment for as long as you possibly can.”
The singer/actor was previously married to Australian star Liam Hemsworth, whom she divorced in 2020.
Two years later, Billy Ray split from Miley’s mum, Tish Cyrus, after 28 years of marriage. He has since moved on with British actor Elizabeth Hurley.
