Billy Ray Cyrus has publicly congratulated his daughter Miley Cyrus on her engagement to musician Maxx Morando, marking another hopeful step in their slow but steady reconciliation after years of family strain.
The 64-year-old country star shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a throwback photo of himself, Miley and Dolly Parton — Miley's longtime godmother. "No wonder you turned out so special — you have the greatest godmother in the world," Billy Ray wrote, tagging Parton before turning his attention to the newly engaged couple. "So happy you and MaxxAgazillion found each other. Congratulations! Happy to see you both so happy. Love, Dad."
His message followed Page Six's exclusive reveal that Miley, 33, and Morando, 27, were officially engaged after she appeared on the red carpet for the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere wearing a large gold engagement ring. Morando proposed earlier this year during a trip to Asia with a cushion-cut diamond ring designed by Jacquie Aiche.
