Miley Cyrus' Bold Reaction to Dad Billy Ray, Elizabeth Hurley Romance

Miley Cyrus' Bold Reaction to Dad Billy Ray, Elizabeth Hurley Romance

Miley Cyrus' Bold Reaction to Dad Billy Ray, Elizabeth Hurley Romanceoriginally appeared onParade. Miley Cyrushas a newfound appreciation for her parents — and that includes dadBilly Ray Cyrus' surprising new romance withElizabeth Hurley. It's no secret that the Cyrus family has weathered years of drama, withTrace Cyrus, Miley's older brother, famouslycalling out the "Achy Breaky Heart" singerin January, after heperformed at aDonald Trumpinauguration event. (The post was also written in the wake of Billy Ray's messy divorce from Firerose, and several years afterhis divorce from longtime wifeTish Cyrus.) As the Metro Station singer wrote at the time, "The man that I wanted so desperately to be I barely recognize now," specifically mentioning how his sisters have been negatively affected by their dad's behavior. "Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you've pushed all of us away," he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Trace Cyrus (@tracecyrus) Now, however, Miley is speaking out from a place of newfound appreciation for both of her parents — and their respective new relationships. (Tish, for her part, has been married toDominic Purcellsince 2023, while Billy Ray and Hurley went public with their unexpected romance in April.) "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," the "Flowers" singer toldThe New York Timesin a new interview. "I'm being an adult about it." Still, it took time for her to get to that place — especially with her dad, who previously co-starred with her onHannah Montana. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) "At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy,'" the "Malibu" artist shared candidly. "My child self has caught up." As for Billy Ray and Hurley's romance, the couple made their red carpet debut last week after months of gushing about each other via Instagram and in interviews. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) The pair first connected on the set of the 2022 holiday movie,Christmas in Paradise. While they didn't get together then, "the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there," Billy Ray shared in April on theThe Ty Bentli Show. He also revealed that Hurley initiated their romance bysending him a text messagein the middle of his headline-making drama. "Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner. You've got a friend in your corner," she wrote at the time, which eventually blossomed into a romance.

'Saddened and heartbroken': Attack rocks Boulder days after Israeli staffers slain

'Saddened and heartbroken': Attack rocks Boulder days after Israeli staffers slain

Anattack that rocked Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday on a group gathered to support Israeli hostages comes less than two weeks aftertwo Israeli Embassy staff memberswere brazenly shot to death in the nation's capital − and amid a rise in incidents of antisemitism across the United States. A male suspect was arrested after multiple people were set on fire in Boulder in the vicinity of a walk to remember the remaining Israeli captives in Gaza abducted byHamas on Oct. 7, 2023.The suspect, identified by authorities as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled "Free Palestine" during the attack, Mark Michalek, special agent in charge at the FBI's Denver field office, said. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a statement that the attack appeared to be a "hate crime given the group that was targeted." Weiser said the group meets weekly at the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder to urge the release of the Gaza hostages. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a prominent Jewish Democrat, condemned the attack in a post on X."This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism." Colorado Gov. Jared Polis also blasted the incident as a"heinous act of terror. Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable." In a statement on social media, the Boulder Jewish Community Center said it was in touch with law enforcement about the Jewish community in the city, noting that safety is the "highest priority." "We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza," the Boulder Jewish Community Center said. On May 21,Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, were gunned down in Washington, D.C., as they exited the Capital Jewish Museum about a mile from the White House. Elias Rodriguez, 31, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and was also facing several firearms charges and counts of killing foreign officials. Authorities said that the attack is being investigated as a hate and terrorism crime. Yechiel Leiter, Israeli ambassador to the United States, said the two victims killed were a "young couple about to be engaged." And just days after that shooting, a dual U.S. and German citizen wasarrested in New Yorkfor allegedly attempting to firebomb a branch office of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, authorities said. Reports of incidents of antisemitismhave continued to rise for a second year in a row, accoding to anannual reportreleased by the Anti-Defamation League in April. ADL researchers counted 9,354 incidents of antisemiticassault,harassment, and vandalism across the country in 2024 − a 5% increase from2023, which was also a record-breaking year. The number of incidents was the highest since the ADL started tracking antisemitism data in 1979. Israel's war on Gaza, in response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack−which killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and saw 251 taken as hostages into Gaza − has led to a climate of heightened tensions throughout the United States. It also comes at a time when the Trump administration has detained pro-Palestinian protesters without charges and halted funding to certain U.S. universities that have been the site of Gaza protests. Israel's campaign has devastated much of Gaza, killing over 54,000 Palestinians and destroying most buildings.
