  • Billy Ray Cyrus shares cryptic message amid family rift with Tish & Miley Cyrus

    • Billy Ray Cyrus posted a cryptic message about love amid his family rift
    • Miley Cyrus failed to acknowledge her father at the 2024 Grammys
    • Tish Cyrus reflected on her divorce from Billy Ray in a February 6 episode of Call Her Daddy

    Here is what happened:

    Billy Ray Cyrus is being gentle with his achy breaky heart. The country music star shared a cryptic message amid his family rift with daughter Miley Cyrus and ex-wife Tish Cyrus, who he divorced in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage. Alongside a photo of himself and his wife of four months Firerose cozying up in a field together, Billy Ray wrote on Instagram Feb. 6, “Love is the answer.” The post came just two days after Miley, 31, failed to acknowledge Billy Ray, 62, while accepting the Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year awards at the 2024 Grammys.

    E! News has reached out to Billy Ray’s rep for comment but hasn’t heard back. Though Miley and her dad were once inseparable as costars on Hannah Montana, they’ve drifted apart in recent years, according to a source close to the “Wrecking Ball” singer. “The divorce between her parents have put a strain on her relationship with her dad and it’s been hard to connect with him in the last year,” an insider told E! News in 2022, adding that Miley “has been closer to her mom Tish” and “doesn’t have a relationship” with Firerose. Recently, Tish reflected on her divorce from Billy Ray during an appearance on Call Her Daddy, sharing that she had a “complete psychological breakdown” amid the split.

    When the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer married Tish, he adopted her daughter Brandi Cyrus and son Trace Cyrus (Feb. 24, 1989), whose biological father is their mom’s ex-husband Baxter Helson. Tish and Billy Ray’s youngest, daughter Noah Cyrus, was born Jan. 8, 2000. E! News has also reached out to Billy Ray’s rep for comment but hasn’t yet heard back.

  • Patrick & Brittany Mahomes’ Adorable Family Moments On & Off the Football Field


    Patrick Mahomes is a man who never lets a chance slip by to appreciate his wife, Brittany Mahomes. His victories, he insists, are as much hers as they are his.

    The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, when he was honored with the Most Valuable Player trophy at the 2023 NFL Honors, didn’t miss a beat. He took a moment to shine a light on his real MVPs. His wife, Brittany, co-owner of Kansas City Current, and their two adorable kids, Sterling and Bronze.

    Brittany, 28, and their two little ones, Sterling, 2, and Bronze, 14 months, are his rock. “To my wife, Brittany, my baby girl, Sterling, and my son, Bronze,” he began. He then went on to express, “this wild ride we’re on, it wouldn’t mean a thing without you guys keeping me grounded, reminding me to cherish every single day.”

    He continued, “No matter how I feel coming home, y’all bring me joy and make me appreciate the time that I get to spend with y’all.” His words, spoken last February, were heartfelt and sincere.

    But it’s not just Mahomes, now 28, who’s thankful for their winning partnership. The former professional soccer player, who’s been with him since high school, shares the sentiment. And so, their victorious relationship isn’t just a one-sided affair.

  • Taylor Swift’s NFL Style Dominates this Season





    Here’s something to jot down: Taylor Swift has officially entered her Super Bowl phase. The singer, who has 14 Grammys to her name, is all set to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates. They’re playing a significant game against the San Francisco 49ers on February 11.

    Swift has already established herself as the cheer captain this NFL season. She’s been spotted at 13 games, sporting Chiefs-inspired attire. The “Lover” singer has even been seen flaunting Travis’ number “87” on her jackets, beanies, and rings.

    Let’s rewind to the Chiefs’ AFC Championship game on January 28. They beat the Baltimore Ravens, securing their spot in the Super Bowl. During this game, Swift was snapped wearing an “87” ring. The ring was a gift from Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, and it’s from EB and Co.

    Emily Bordner, the owner of the Kansas City boutique where the ring came from, spoke about it on KMBC on January 29. “We gifted Donna some pairs,” she said. They knew Donna loved their earrings, so they decided to send her more Kelce themed products. They hoped she would pass them on to Taylor. And guess what? She did.
