Now, she says that she is handling his flourishing romance with Hurley like an “adult”.
“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.’ My child self has caught up,” she said.
“I’m being an adult about it.”
Cyrus confirmed she has fully reconciled with her dad, but admitted her closeness with her mum played a major role in their falling out.
“My mum really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,” she told the outlet.
“I think I took on some of my mum’s hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain
“There’s been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected. I think timing is everything.”
Cyrus, 62, and Hurley, 59 recently sparked marriage rumours after looking very smitten in a series of photos shared on social media.
The pair’s relationship surprised fans, coming just months after Cyrus’ highly publicised and controversial split from singer Firerose.
According to reports, it was during that difficult time that the country singer reconnected with Hurley, ultimately laying the foundation for their romance.
