Blindsided Miley Cyrus emerges amid fears Billy Ray’s romance with Elizabeth Hurley will ruin her big comeback

Miley Cyrus was was pictured for the first time since her father Billy Ray Cyrus debuted his shock new romance with Elizabeth Hurley.

The songstress, 32, who will be releasing her ninth studio album Something Beautiful next month, seemingly buried herself in work during a visit to Electric Lady Studios in New York City.

Miley looked in top spirits as she entered the legendary studios on Monday before greeting fans and signing autographs on her way out. 

The singer was styled in her rock star best in a fuzzy black tank top, loose jeans and matching slides that showed off her fire engine red manicure.

Overall, Miley looked in top spirits despite a New Idea report claiming she was kept in the dark about her father’s new romance with the Bedazzled star. 

The insider claimed the relationship threatens to ‘overshadow’ Miley’s big comeback.

But Billy Ray reportedly hid their relationship from Miley, with sources claiming the singer ‘won’t be happy’ about the romance. 

Now, an insider has come forward to allege three-time Grammy winner Miley had no idea they were even together. 

‘Of course Miley didn’t know,’ a source told New Idea just hours after their Easter debut. 

‘She stays away from her dad as much as possible. She won’t be happy about this. She’s about to launch an album and a movie and this is going to overshadow it all!’ 

Miley’s ninth studio album Something Beautiful is set to release on May 30 with the accompanying film coming soon after in June. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Billy Ray’s representatives for further comment. 

It comes after Miley was left ‘fuming’ over her dad’s latest public praise of her amid their family feud.

Last month, Billy Ray gave Miley as well as his youngest daughter Noah Cyrus, 25, a a rare shout-out on Instagram after they each announced new chapters in their music careers. 

Miley confirmed her upcoming visual album Something Beautiful, while Noah plugged her song Don’t Put It All On Me in collaboration with Fleet Foxes.

Taking to Instagram afterward, the 63-year-old patriarch — who is understood to be on rocky terms with some of his kids, including Miley and son Trace, 36 — shared a split pH๏τo of Miley and Noah along with an emphatic caption.

‘Holy s**t. I seldom ever swear in my post but this deserves one! You are witnessing in real time what it feels like for a Dad, who with in less than one [week’s] time, has had his a** kicked and his mind blown by not one …but two of his own daughters,’ he wrote.

He tagged the sisters as he continued, ‘Flesh and blood… completely taking their art to a whole new level. Congratulations girls! Well done.’

Following the gushing public tribute, a source exclusively shared with DailyMail.com that Miley isn’t happy with her father’s emotional display and fears it could ‘overshadow’ her big music comeback.

‘Miley doesn’t want the family feud drama overshadowing her music career, especially right now as she gears up for a new era,’ the insider dished.

Billy Ray continued heaping praise on his kids, adding, ‘I’m so damn proud of both of you. I’m actually crying as I write this. Thank God you can’t see me. Have fun now and be happy! Love Dad.’

The person close to the Wrecking Ball hitmaker and her latest music campaign emphasised, ‘It feels like Billy is making this all about him while Miley has made it quite clear she wants to focus on her music and not have their family drama be part of the conversation.’

Miley notably did not include her father in her speech last year when she accepted her first Grammy, which she won for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song Flowers.

The pair have had a strained relationship in the wake of his messy personal life, which includes a public, vitriolic divorce from Firerose in 2024 after a short-lived marriage that lasted less than a year.

In addition to Miley, Noah, and Trace, Billy shares son Braison, 30, and daughter Brandi, 37, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, 57. He also has a 32-year-old son named Christopher, whom he shares with Kristin Luckey.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Billy Ray shocked fans during the long Easter weekend when they revealed their new romance on Instagram. 

The couple appeared to coordinate their outfits as Elizabeth donned a plaid shirt, cowboy hat, and faded jeans and leaned against a rustic fence while Billy Ray dressed in full Western gear and a pair of floppy bunny ears.

While the duo didn’t include a caption spelling things out, with Elizabeth only writing ‘Happy Easter’, the pH๏τo spoke for itself and marked their first public display as a couple.

Elizabeth’s son Damian appeared to give their union his seal of approval as he dropped a heart and clapping emoji in the comments section.

While it is not clear when the couple started dating, they have known each other for a number of years, having both starred in 2022’s Christmas in Paradise.

Elizabeth’s last long-term relationship with late Aussie cricketer Shane Warne ended in 2013, following a marriage to Arun Nayar, a 13-year romance with Hugh Grant, and a son, Damian, with the late Steve Bing. 

Meanwhile, Billy Ray finalised his whirlwind divorce from Australian singer Firerose in August 2024, just months after a dramatic break-up played out both publicly and privately.

And after an increasingly bitter and public split, during which each accused the other of verbal and emotional abuse, court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com showed Firerose walked away with $0.

But according to a source, Firerose was perfectly content with how things played out.

‘She settled for nothing just to be done with him and get away from the situation,’ the insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.

'Of course Miley didn't know. She stays away from her dad as much as possible. She won't be happy about this. She's about to launch an album and a movie and this is going to overshadow it all!' the source claimed

The split reportedly strained his relationship with daughter Miley, who notably left him out of her Grammy acceptance speech.

But now it looks like the country star is back in the saddle—and happily cosying up to British royalty Elizabeth.

The Bedazzled star’s love life has been just as headline-grabbing as her iconic red carpet appearances.

She famously dated actor Hugh, 64, for 13 years, and despite their split in 2000, the two have remained close friends.

In 2007, she married Indian businessman Arun, 60, but the marriage ended four years later.

Elizabeth then had a high-profile engagement to Shane, who died in 2022 aged 52, though the couple never made it down the aisle before calling it quits in 2013.

She also had a brief relationship with American businessman Steve, who died in 2020 aged 50, which resulted in the birth of her only child Damian.
