Miley Cyrus Claims Her Mom Told Her To Stay With The 'Wrong' Guys In A New Interview

This morning, the famous publication, The Cutrevealed that Miley Cyrus, her mom Tish, and her two sisters, Noah and Brandi, would grace the cover of their latest Fall Fashion Issue, meaning not only did they pose in some glamorous outfits for a photoshoot, but they also sat down for an in-depth interview.

 

On the cover, the four women can be seen dressed in different black and white outfits, with Miley sitting in the center of her sisters and Tish, who was dressed in a plunging, sophisticated pantsuit. In the cover photo, which has now gone viral, fans and other pop culture enthusiasts can see the resemblance between the family members. Aside from the cover, the Cyrus women began causing the internet to buzz, especially after the Disney Channel alum made some comments about the slightly unconventional dating and love life tips she's received from her mom over the years.

 

During their interview, the Hannah Montana star began joking about hard lessons she's learned throughout her life, when the conversation shifted towards love and dating.

 

"Mom's always wanted me to stay with the wrong guy 'cause they're hot," she revealed during the back-and-forth banter.

 

"Well, that was great advice because after so many years, you're kind of over it," Tish responded. "...At least you get to look at somebody that's frigging hot!"

The Internet Reacts To Tish's Dating Advice And Thinks Miley Was Referring To Liam Hemsworth

One of Miley's most iconic relationships was the one between her and her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, whom she first started dating after filming their 2010 romance film, The Last Song. They were on and off for around a decade before tying the knot in 2018. Sadly, they decided to separate a little less than a year later and were divorced by 2020.

 

Due to the Australian actor's reputation as a heartthrob, people believe the comments Tish made about staying with "hot" guys could've been related to Liam, who, ultimately, due to their divorce, ended up being the "wrong guy" for Miley.

 

On social media platforms like X, users commented on the quotes, commenting on how silly they were.

 

"So, Tish was Team Liam for sure lol," posted a user.

 

"One thing about Miley is she's gonna drag her mama," joked another.

 

Later in the interview, the pop star noted how she's now in a relationship with drummer Maxx Morando, who she says is great because he treats her "really well" and "respects her."

 

"I had to learn that the hard way because my mommy taught me the wrong way, and then I had to learn the right way by myself," she added.

 

Fans also thought this was admirable, noting that no matter how close the mother and daughter are, there are always going to be disagreements, and not every parent can always teach the perfect life lessons.

 

"I'm glad Miley knew they were wrong," wrote an X user.
