“I never want to detach from my mom”: Miley Cyrus opens up about her relationship with her mother Tish Cyrus in recent interview

Miley Cyrus revealed details about her relationship with her mother in a May 31, 2025, interview with The New York Times. The Wrecking Ball hitmaker shared that she had a close relationship with her mum and only recently started travelling without her.

She added that she was trying to get used to being without her:

"My mom no longer travels with me because I'm 33 years old, and it was getting ridiculous. I never want to detach from my mom because we're so close. I'll get tears in my eyes even talking about her. But if nature plays its course in the way that it does, I will be an individual without my mom at some point, and that used to completely paralyse me."

Miley Cyrus explained the meaning behind her use of the phrase “mother is me.” She stated that she began using it after her mom stopped being with her all the time. The phrase reminds the superstar about all the qualities of her mum that kept her grounded.

The singer also spoke about repairing her relationship with her father and transitioning to adulthood in the public eye.

“It’s not something I’m focused on,” Miley Cyrus says about becoming a parent

After boldly expressing that all child stars needed therapy from the weight of growing up in the public eye, the Hannah Montana star revealed that winning her first-ever Grammy for Flowers in 2024 made her realise how much it had hurt not to be recognised for her contributions to the music industry for years:

"So when I finally did get recognised, it was an extra layer of that bandage over something that I didn’t even know really hurt me."

Miley Cyrus revealed that she was no longer estranged from her dad as she chose to focus on him as an individual and not just as her parent. She admitted that seeing her parents, especially her mother, find love with other partners released some of her childhood hurt regarding their relationship:

"But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing. I’m being an adult about it."

The Grammy award-winning artist also talked about how E.M.D.R. therapy had helped relieve her of a lot of mental baggage. She revealed that the process also helped her overcome stage fright.

When asked if she would ever consider parenthood, the Disney alumnus replied:

"It’s not something I’m focused on. For being such an opinionated, sure person, this is an element in my life that I’ve never been superattached to a yes or no answer."

Miley Cyrus added that parenthood involved sleepless nights and a lot of devotion and energy, stating that it wasn’t something you ventured into if you have no passion for it.
