\nOver the last 27 years, Billy Ray Cyrus has scored a string of hits, starred in TV shows, and seen his career rise, fall, and rise again. His love life has been no exception to this pattern, with relationships that have soared high and come crashing back down, only for Cyrus to step out of the wreckage and move on to a better place.
\n[post_page_title]Early life[\/post_page_title]
\nBorn on August 25 1961, Cyrus has always lived with musical influences. With a guitar-playing father, and a Pentecostal preacher for a grandfather, Billy Ray\u2019s life was suffused with the spirit of bluegrass and gospel, and he was singing by the age of 4.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114749\/KDV1NOO.jpg\")
\nHe even studied music at college, before dropping out to be a musician full time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Debut smash[\/post_page_title]
\nCyrus experienced the classic difficulties of someone trying to get into music on the ground level, even having to live in his friend\u2019s car at one point. However, eventually he signed with Polygram in 1990, and nobody could have predicted how big his debut album would be.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114752\/F1lptlc.jpg\")
\n\u2018Some Gave All\u2019 was a smash hit, helped to success by the release of the single \u2018Achy Breaky Heart\u2019, which would top charts around the world. \u2018Some Gave All\u2019 would make Cyrus an instantly known name, and went on to become the highest selling debut album by a male artist in history.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Professional partner[\/post_page_title]
\nThe success of Cyrus\u2019 album was in some part down to the success of his love life. Since 1986, Billy Ray had been married to Cindy Smith, with whom he co-wrote several songs on the album, including the title track.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114754\/TAGNgE5.jpg\")
\nUnfortunately, Cyrus and Smith\u2019s relationship did not last, and they divorced just a year before the release of his debut album. It seems that the struggle of trying to make it in the music business put a strain on their marriage that the two could not work past.
\n
\n[post_page_title]New relationships[\/post_page_title]
\nSoon after his divorce, Billy Ray would enter into two relationships with fairly profound results. The first woman Cyrus was involved with was called Kristin Luckey, who lived in South Carolina and worked as a waitress while involved with Cyrus.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114755\/WlDbZVb.jpg\")
\nAlthough Cyrus and Luckey did not last, their relationship did lead to the birth of Cyrus\u2019 first child, Christopher Cody, born in April of 1992. There have been rumors that Cyrus has not been particularly present throughout Christopher Cody\u2019s life, although it is said that he provided Luckey with financial support while he was growing up.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bundles of joy[\/post_page_title]
\nCyrus would eventually begin a relationship with Leticia Finley, who he met at a bar in Nashville, Tennessee. Cyrus was not yet the world famous name he would soon be, but was instead trying to gain exposure by playing the local scene.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114757\/fE75s5g.jpg\")
\nLeticia was a huge music fan, and after hitting it off, the two began a relationship. In November of 1992, Cyrus and Finley had a child together, their daughter, Miley. We doubt they knew then what life had in store for her!
\n
\n[post_page_title]Married life[\/post_page_title]
\nIn 1993, Billy Ray and Leticia were still happily together, and were expecting the birth of their second child. Cyrus\u2019 label were not happy with the relationship, and wanted Cyrus to end things with Finley.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114759\/VTAomea.jpg\")
\nThey knew that Billy Ray wanted to marry Leticia, but they wanted to be able to preserve his image as a single bachelor. However, Cyrus and Finley were determined to be together, and in December of 1993 the couple were secretly married, without the label\u2019s knowledge.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Starting a family[\/post_page_title]
\nBilly Ray and Leticia eventually had another two children. Their son Braison Chance was born in 1994, while their second daughter, Noah, was born in 2000. Braison Chance has stayed out of the spotlight, not going into showbiz.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114801\/qVToghx.jpg\")
\nIn contrast, Noah Cyrus has followed in both her father and her older sister\u2019s footsteps, having had several acting roles, including the lead role in the Studio Ghibli film \u2018Ponyo\u2019. She also released music, having published an EP called \u2018Good Cry\u2019 in 2018.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A growing bunch[\/post_page_title]
\nAs well as having three children with Finley, Cyrus also legally adopted the two children Leticia had from a previous relationship. Both children have taken steps into the world of show business.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114803\/BDcWgrR.jpg\")
\nBrandi Cyrus, born in 1987, co hosts a show on Bravo with her mother, Leticia. It is called \u2018Cyrus vs. Cyrus: Design and Conquer\u2019, in which the two carry out various interior design projects. Trace Cyrus, born in 1989, was a singer and guitarist in the rock band Metro Station, until their breakup in 2015.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Diminishing returns[\/post_page_title]
\nDespite the massive success of his first album, Billy Ray Cyrus\u2019 later albums would put in increasingly poor performances. His second album, \u2018It Won\u2019t be the Last\u2019, performed reasonably well, generating decent sales, although these were much lower than his debut album.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114805\/F0rCR33.jpg\")
\nThe album produced several songs that managed to make it into the top 40 of the Billboard charts. However, the sales of his albums continued to drop steadily , and it would be years before Cyrus had another hit song. His career was unmistakably in a slump.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A wing and a prayer[\/post_page_title]
\nCyrus very briefly made a pivot into gospel music, in an attempt to court a religious audience. He released the album \u2018The Other Side\u2019 on Word Records, a Christian music label. The album was a collection of gospel songs, including a cover of the hymn \u2018Amazing Grace\u2019.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114807\/2BVyuwl.jpg\")
\n\u2018The Other Side\u2019 made it to the top 5 of the Christian music charts, but failed to achieve much success anywhere else. Due to the poor sales, it was the only album Cyrus would make with Word Records.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A new format[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough music wasn\u2019t doing anything for Billy Ray Cyrus, he was having a little bit more luck in the realm of television. Having had appearances in shows like \u2018The Nanny\u2019, \u2018The Love Boat\u2019, and \u2018Diagnosis Murder\u2019, Cyrus would eventually go on to star as Clint Cassidy in the Pax TV series \u2018Doc\u2019.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114809\/PNZNnPf.jpg\")
\nThe show featured Cyrus playing the part of a small-town doctor living in Montana, who takes a new job in New York City. The show ran for 5 seasons between 2001 and 2004. It was notable for its strong Christian undertones, and has seen syndication on Christian networks.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Mass appeal[\/post_page_title]
\nCyrus\u2019 first big break for some time would come in 2006, with the premiere of \u2018Hannah Montana\u2019. The show featured Billy Ray\u2019s daughter Miley in the main role of Miley Stewart, who occupies a double life as both a normal high school student and a world-famous teen pop star.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114810\/obDL0C5.jpg\")
\nBilly Ray plays her father, a fictionalized version of himself. The show was a massive success, leading to the release of 4 albums, a concert tour, and a feature film. The show also made Cyrus\u2019 daughter Miley a worldwide star.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The price of fame[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, Cyrus admits that the show put a lot of strain on his family. In particular, Miley found her newfound fame difficult to deal with. She found the pressure, alongside the notions of body image and beauty, and expectations put on her by the show to be extremely detrimental to her self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114812\/iIBYxHw.jpg\")
\nBilly Ray also found it difficult to watch his daughter struggle with these issues, having said that if given the option again he would choose not to place his daughter in a TV show.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A strained relationship[\/post_page_title]
\nDuring these years, Billy Ray and Leticia\u2019s relationship had seemed to be going fairly strong. However, in 2010 Cyrus filed for divorce. There was much speculation about the reason for this sudden change, as their marriage had seemed to be in good shape until then.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114814\/4MJmUZk.jpg\")
\nCyrus later admitted that the negative effects of the show had put a strain on the marriage. However, in 2011, Billy Ray revealed that he had canceled the divorce proceedings, leaving people as confused as before.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Worrying rumors[\/post_page_title]
\nDespite Cyrus\u2019 relative silence on the matter, there was a persistent rumor as to the reason he had begun divorce proceedings. It was said that Cyrus decided to get a divorce after finding out that Leticia had had an affair with Bret Michaels, lead singer of the rock band \u2018Poison\u2019.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114816\/KegpXSL.jpg\")
\nIt was alleged that Leticia had also had affairs with other men, although they were never named. Bret Michaels has categorically denied the accusations, saying they sprung from Miley recording one of Poison\u2019s songs, as both she and Leticia were fans.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Another close call[\/post_page_title]
\nIn 2013, a split loomed large again, as Leticia filed for divorce, providing the standard reason of irreconcilable differences. Once again, people were in the dark about why the divorce had been announced, and wondered if old rumors had in fact been true.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114817\/fo4bX0G.jpg\")
\nHowever, later that year the couple were revealed to be in therapy, and eventually decided to remain together. The court dismissed the divorce by default, as neither party ever actually showed up or made a case.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A twist[\/post_page_title]
\nThis time, however, the rumors of an affair landed squarely at Billy Ray\u2019s door. There was speculation that he had been engaged in an affair with actress Dylis Croman, with whom he had recently starred on stage in \u2018Chicago\u2019.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114819\/k0RT67i.jpg\")
\nThis rumor was further stoked when Miley Cyrus tweeted Billy Ray a picture of herself and Croman, insisting that if he would not tell the truth then she would tell it for him. Nothing ever came of this however, and the affair was neither confirmed nor denied.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Old flames[\/post_page_title]
\nCroman is not the only person Billy Ray is rumored to have had a fling with, although his other rumored paramour is a much, much bigger name. At the start of his career, Cyrus was rumored to have had a fling with the queen of country music, Dolly Parton.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114820\/l8L0DL0.jpg\")
\nCyrus had been opening for her at her shows, and speculation began that they were an item. Cyrus denied this, and said that when he told Parton of the rumors she was unbothered, remarking that rumors of that kind sold records.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Famous family[\/post_page_title]
\nThe Cyrus family is no stranger to stars, and obviously Billy has been a father to one of the biggest in recent memory, Miley Cyrus. Miley\u2019s meteoric rise began after she started to star in Hannah Montana, as she instantly became a household name.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114822\/FDoloyZ.jpg\")
\nCyrus has also had an incredibly successful musical career, both as Hannah Montana and herself, with 7 albums reaching the top 5 of the charts in the US. She has also embarked on several sold-out tours around the world.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Difficult times[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, the massive amount of fame Miley found did cause trouble between herself and Billy Ray. Over the years, Miley began to adopt an increasingly provocative image, which drew immensely polarized reactions from the public and media.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114823\/xGCgC1U.jpg\")
\nShe was alternately criticized as a bad influence, and praised as a forthright and independent former child star. Billy Ray found what he saw as Miley\u2019s \u2018risky behavior\u2019 to be troubling, and eventually this led to a period of estrangement between the two.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A repaired relationship[\/post_page_title]
\nNowadays, however, Billy Ray and Miley have a much better relationship. Billy Ray has admitted that he feels a great deal of responsibility for what he saw as Miley going off the rails, but that he loved her nonetheless, and should have provided her with more support.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114825\/jGQ91Py.jpg\")
\nHe also expressed the wish that he had not put her in the limelight at such a young age. In recent years, the two have performed together several times, most recently at Glastonbury, 2019.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A new hit[\/post_page_title]
\nRecently, Billy Ray\u2019s stardom has seen a considerable resurgence, after he featured on the Lil Nas song \u2018Old Town Road\u2019. Lil Nas had expressed a wish to have Cyrus on a remix of the song, which is ostensibly a fusion of hip-hop and country music.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/08114830\/jILlpYH.png\")
\nCyrus was eager to be involved in the project, claiming to have loved the song, and in April of 2019 the version featuring Cyrus was released. It has since become a breakout hit, topping the Billboard charts and staying there for a record breaking 18 weeks.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Quitting the business[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough Cyrus had a huge hit with \u2018Old Town Road,\u2019 he almost left the music business for good. The country star told himself before teaming up with Lil Nas X that he would never write another song.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/19131115\/UtT8d5h.jpg\")
\nHe had spent so many years in the music industry it seemed as though he had lost his passion for it. Then, after \u2018Old Town Road\u2019 did so well, Cyrus gained inspiration and continued writing. He believes he has written close to 100 songs in a four-month period after it smashed the charts.
\n
\n[post_page_title]There has been a flood[\/post_page_title]
\nCyrus seems to have a renewed love for music recently, and he feels as though \u201cthere\u2019s just been this flood\u201d when it comes to songwriting. He confessed that he might have even written the same song more than once, but he\u2019s just having a blast again.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/19131116\/VHFjojd.jpg\")
\nCyrus now goes absolutely nowhere without his trusty guitar by his side. Even when he just sits down to relax he finds himself plucking away at the strings trying to come up with the latest hook.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Music inspiration[\/post_page_title]
\nBefore Cyrus studied music at college, he was actually on a baseball scholarship. Then one day his life was flipped when he had an awakening at a Neil Diamond concert. After seeing the gig go so well, Cyrus realized that singing on the stage was the thing he wanted to do the most and ditched baseball for good.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/19131117\/W4NoY37.jpg\")
\nHe quit on his sports scholarship to try and become a success on the music stage instead of the baseball diamond.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A name for his mullet[\/post_page_title]
\nBack in the days of \u2018Achy Breaky Heart,\u2019 Cyrus had a signature look, the mullet. He wasn\u2019t the only one in the \u201990s to have the iconic hairstyle, but he did help to make it famous. When asked about his hair recently, Cyrus said he was going to campaign to bring the famous style back to popularity.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/19131119\/R7bV47S.jpg\")
\nHe described the mullet as \u201cPreacher in the front, party in the back.\u201d Cryus seems to have had some influence over people and country singer, Morgan Wallen, has begun to sport the famous hairdo.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Miley copied her parents\u2019 wedding[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough Miley Cyrus\u2019 marriage to Liam Hemsworth ended on an unhappy note, when they did tie the knot, they honored her parents. Billy Ray and Leticia were married in their living room, and that\u2019s exactly how Miley got married to Liam.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/19131121\/h1Rs4fU.jpg\")
\nThere were rumors that Billy Ray had disapproved of the wedding so strongly he refused to go, but that wasn\u2019t true. He was there and before they split had shown his appreciation for Liam after he convinced Miley to take a surprise flight to see Billy Ray while he was on tour.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Harsh split[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough Billy Ray has had his fair share of romantic ups and downs, he\u2019s tried his hardest to make his marriage with Tish Cyrus a success.
\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/T0jLJVB.jpg\")
\nIt\u2019s speculated that part of the reason Cyrus is so keen to see things work is because he was so pained by the divorce of his parents. Ruth Ann and Ron Cyrus divorced when Billy Ray was just five years old, and he experienced a lot of difficulty as a result of the divorce when he was young.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Hard work[\/post_page_title]
\nBilly Ray and Tish Cyrus have had quite the married life – with no less than two prospective divorces and constant speculation about how strong their marriage is.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162154\/mSta9Vi.jpg\")
\nHowever, against all odds the two of them seem to have managed to make their relationship work, a success that Tish puts down to the effort the two of them have been willing to put into making things work. Although they\u2019ve had troubles, Billy Ray and Tish were so dedicated to each other that they worked through their problems each time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Famous partners[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile Billy Ray and Tish have been alleged to have had affairs with pretty famous people – Miley Cyrus has them both beat for celebrity relationships.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162156\/XF1oTpZ.jpg\")
\nAs tends to be the case when you\u2019re famous – especially when you grow up famous – Miley has been linked to quite a few famous figures over the years. People that Cyrus has been alleged to be involved with include actor Avan Jogia, actor and singer Jared Leto, and even comedian Dane Cook.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Puppy love[\/post_page_title]
\nOne of the most famous relationships that Miley Cyrus has been in was with fellow Disney Channel star Nick Jonas. The two began dating in 2006 and were in a relationship for a year, with both of them claiming that the relationship had a huge impact on them.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162157\/VpzdrJX.jpg\")
\nJonas himself has been involved with several famous figures and even another alumnus of the Disney Channel – having been in a brief relationship with singer and actress Selena Gomez in 2008.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Working relationship[\/post_page_title]
\nThe most well-known of all Cyrus\u2019 relationships is the years long one she was in with actor Liam Hemsworth. The two met in 2009, when they were working together on the romantic film \u2018The Last Song\u2019. They soon began a relationship – although it was off-and-on it soon became permanent, and for a time it seemed like everything was going well.
\n
![](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/AjjTqk4.jpg\")
\nIn 2012 the couple became engaged – and it seemed as if Cyrus had finally found someone that she was comfortable enough to settle down with.
\n
\n[post_page_title]First break[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, things between Liam and Miley could not last forever. In September of 2013 the couple announced that they had called off their engagement, and decided to part ways.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162201\/WhGizFz.jpg\")
\nThis was a great shock for many of their fans, who had thought that the two seemed like a perfectly content couple with a thriving relationship. The question was on everybody\u2019s lips as to whether this was truly it for Miley and Liam, or whether they might eventually rekindle their romance one day.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Animosity[\/post_page_title]
\nDue to the seemingly abrupt nature of Cyrus and Hemsworth\u2019s break up, there was plenty of speculation about why exactly they had decided that the relationship could not continue any longer.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162204\/TR2dJO6.jpg\")
\nOne common rumor was that the relationship had broken down due to tension with Miley\u2019s brother Trace Cyrus – who was said to have held animosity for Liam. It was rumored that Trace felt Liam was not good enough for Miley, and that he was not dedicated enough to her.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Reuniting[\/post_page_title]
\nIn 2016, it was revealed that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth had started dating again. Although they had experienced turbulent troubles beforehand they were determined to stay together this time – even getting engaged in October of 2016.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162206\/qVQ34sB.jpg\")
\nOn December 23, 2018, the couple were married in a small and intimate wedding ceremony in the comfort and peace of their own home. It seemed that this time, Cyrus and Hemsworth had really made things work, and that their relationship would be stronger than ever.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Final split[\/post_page_title]
\nUnfortunately, although hopes were high for Miley and Liam, they were soon proved misplaced. In August of 2019 it was announced that Cyrus and Hemsworth had decided to separate, just over half a year since they had been married.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162208\/yM5DAYj.jpg\")
\nAlthough some hoped they might stay together and reconcile, such hopes were dashed when Hemsworth filed for divorce less than two weeks later. It appeared that, despite their best efforts, Miley and Liam had been unable to sustain their relationship, and had broken up for good this time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Billy\u2019s opinion[\/post_page_title]
\nSince the split between Miley and Liam, there\u2019s been a lot of discussion about what Billy Ray thought of their decision to part ways. Despite speculation that Billy Ray did not like Liam he has repeatedly insisted that he and Hemsworth get along very well – but nonetheless thinks that the split is probably good for Miley at this time.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162209\/jIQlg6m.jpg\")
\nBilly Ray has stated that his main concern is whether or not Miley is happy, and so long as the separation makes her happy he will support it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A new beau[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter breaking up with Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus took a little time out to focus on herself, engaging casual relationships but remaining single for the most part.
\n
![](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/GXDDLDx.jpg\")
\nIn October, she revealed that she was ready to put her heart on the line once more – as it was announced that she was in a committed relationship with Cody Simpson, a singer and actor from Australia. It\u2019s thought that this relationship has a slightly better chance of lasting, as Cyrus and Simpson were friends for years before becoming involved.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Stage fright[\/post_page_title]
\nNo matter how famous a person is it\u2019s still entirely possible for them to be stricken with anxiety – and Miley is no stranger to this. Both she and her brother Trace Cyrus have revealed that they\u2019ve struggled with anxiety over the course of their careers, brought on by the pressure of fame and a desire to succeed.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162213\/AFtjbRH.jpg\")
\nWhile both of them came very close to quitting the business altogether at separate points, they\u2019ve been overcome these problems and reach a calmer place nowadays.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sisterly care[\/post_page_title]
\nGiven their experiences with the ups and downs of fame, it makes perfect sense that both Billy Ray and Miley are keeping an eye out for Noah Cyrus during her first few years of show business.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/13162214\/o6Jl36R.jpg\")
\nBoth Billy Ray and Miley are well aware of the pitfalls that can trip up artists who begin careers at a younger age, and they want to help her avoid the pressures and mistakes that caused them so much trouble over the years. Nonetheless, they are happy for Noah and supportive of her work.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Another split?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt seems as though perhaps Miley\u2019s experiences with her father\u2019s rocky love life have had a more significant impact than she may have thought. No sooner had she announced that she was with Cody Simpson, but it seemed as though the pair were on the rocks.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/26130524\/woHJc2b.jpg\")
\nRumors began circulating that they had split up or had gone on a \u2018break.\u2019 However, were they just rumors or had Miley decided to call it quits on another relationship?
\n
\n[post_page_title]Responding to the rumors[\/post_page_title]
\nCody Simpson was quick to shut down the rumors that he and Miley Cyrus had split up, with one single Instagram post. He uploaded a photo of his phone\u2019s screensaver, which just so happens to be a picture of Miley as a kid.
