‘As a father that would be heartbreaking,’ Kyle admitted.
In her speech, Miley said: ‘This award is amazing. But I really hope that it doesn’t change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular…
‘So please don’t think that this is important, even though it’s very important, right guys? ‘[I want to thank] everyone that’s standing on this stage right now Tom, Tyler, Michael and Greg…
‘Our teams, my team, Crush, Columbia, my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays because look how good I look…
‘Anyone else? Your wife, your fiancée, all the people that we love. Thank you all so much. I don’t think I forgot anyone. But I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!’

Rumours of a rift in the Cyrus family have been long-standing, with many fans referencing his marriage to Firerose, who is 27 years his junior, in their claims that the family are at loggerheads.
In October, Bill Ray officially tied the knot with the n singer during an ‘ethereal celebration of love’ and shared images taken on the special day.
The Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker said ‘I do’ to the songstress, 34, just two months after his ex-wife and Miley’s mum, Tish, married Dominic in August.
Miley served as the maid of honour for her mother as she tied the knot to the Prison Break star, but did not appear to attend her father’s nuptials.

Billy was previously married to Tish Cyrus from 1993 until she filed for divorce in April 2022 and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ with their date of separation taking place two years earlier.

They share children: Miley, 30, Noah, 24, Braison, 29, and also Brandi, 36, and Trace, 34. He adopted Brandi and Trace from Tish’s previous relationship and also shares son Christopher, 31, with his ex, Kristin Luckey.
