Miley Cyrus is one of the five children Tish Cyrus shares with her ex, Billy Ray Cyrus. While the musician has a complex relationship with her mother, she accused the latter of encouraging her to date the wrong men, only because they were good-looking. The manager and the film producer sat down with her daughters on the recent episode of The Cut podcast, where the Grammy winner recalled dating advice she received from her mom, leading her the wrong way.

Tish Cyrus’ dating advice for Miley Cyrus

Speaking of dating advice that Miley Cyrus received from her mother, the singer recalled, "Mom’s always wanted me to stay with the wrong guy ’cause they’re hot." However, Tish Cyrus, who too was also present for the conversation with her daughters, defended and claimed that she still believes it was the right choice.

The latter said, "Well, that was great advice because after so many years, you’re kind of over it and you’re like... in a relationship. At least you get to look at somebody that’s frigging hot!" 

The musician quipped and said, "No, I ended up with a person [Morando] who means a lot to me and treats me really well and respects me." She continued, "I had to learn that the hard way.”

Meanwhile, it is not just Miley who feels that her mom’s advice wasn’t good for her. Noah Cyrus, who is currently engaged to the fashion designer, Pinkus, revealed that she is in the same boat regarding her mom’s advice. 

Elsewhere in the conversation, Cyrus went on to add, "I had to find someone who treats me with respect and then Mom never really put that in the top three of her must-haves. Mom was like, 'They need to be tall.'"

Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando have been dating since 2021.
