Miley Cyrus Sheds Light on Mom's 'Hot Guy' Dating Advice

Miley Cyrus is opening up about the unconventional dating advice she's received from her mom, Tish Cyrus

Miley Cyrus Spills Tea on Her Mom's Shocking Dating Advice

In a jaw-dropping revelation, Miley Cyrus has come forward about the unconventional dating advice she received from her mom, Tish Cyrus. The 32-year-old singer sat down with her mother and sisters for an interview with The Cut to dish out about their love lives, family dynamics, and the lessons they've learned along the way.

The Shocking Advice

During a candid interview with The Cut, the singer, 32, sat down with Tish, 58, and her sisters Brandi and Noah to discuss love, family and the lessons they've carried into their relationships (seen in 2019)

According to Miley, her mom's dating mantra was all about physical appearance over substance. "Mom's always wanted me to stay with the wrong guy 'cause they're hot," she revealed, seemingly referencing her infamous romance with Liam Hemsworth. The singer and actor dated on and off for a decade before calling it quits after less than a year of marriage in 2019.

Tish Defends Her Philosophy

When pressed about her mom's questionable advice, Tish didn't mince words. "That was great advice because after so many years, you're kind of over it," she quipped with a laugh. But when Miley asked for clarification, Tish took it up a notch: "At least you get to look at somebody that's frigging hot!"

While it's likely Tish was joking, Miley used the moment to highlight how her own priorities shifted over time. The singer explained that she had to learn the hard way that true love involves more than just physical attraction. "I ended up with a person who means a lot to me and treats me really well and respects me," she gushed about her current boyfriend, drummer Maxx Morando.

Tish's Check-List for an Ideal Partner

Miley recalled that Tish's ideal partner checklist never included qualities like honesty, trust, respect, or open communication. "Mom was like, 'They need to be tall,'" Miley teased, emphasizing the importance of substance over physical appearance.

Sisterly Love (and Feud)

Noah, Miley's sister and a singer in her own right, chimed in about their shared struggles with relationships. However, Brandi took a different approach, proudly declaring that Tish's advice worked for her – she even gushed about her partner Matt Southcombe being "hot as hell." But when Miley jumped to defend her own boyfriend, Maxx Morando, calling him "too" hot while also emphasizing his kind and respectful nature, the conversation took an interesting turn.

The Family Feud

In August, Noah addressed rumors of a feud within the Cyrus family. According to The Scholarly Note, she emphasized that their connection as siblings has always been centered around music – something that remains essential to them all. While acknowledging that speculation about their relationships can be "draining," Noah expressed that it doesn't affect her or Miley personally.

Tish's Evolution

In a surprising twist, the family ultimately agreed that Tish has evolved in her approach to love. As Miley quipped, it's only because Tish found someone who is both hot and respectful – which, of course, is always the goal.

This explosive interview has left fans and readers alike buzzing with curiosity about the inner workings of the Cyrus family dynamic. Will they continue to follow their mom's unconventional advice or forge their own paths? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: this family's got more drama than a Shakespearean play!
