Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus have been entangled in a family drama for a long time, but now that the country star's estranged wife, Firerose, is out of the picture, it has been reported that the pop singer is willing to reconcile with her father.
According to a source who spoke with In Touch Weekly, the Hannah Montana actress "loathed" her former stepmom since she started dating the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer four years ago.
The pop star warned her father that the Australian musician was "an opportunist," which caused Billy to get mad at her, so they eventually stopped talking.
Now that the country crooner filed for divorce, he wanted his daughter back in his life, and the insider added that he's even "willing to put up with all her 'I told-you-so's!'"
Billy Ray appeared to have extended an olive branch to his daughter last month and posted a throwback photo of them. In the caption, he praised the pop star, writing, "I'm incredibly proud of her. She's a survivor and a true artist. She learned early on to love and appreciate the fans who make everything possible."
The big question is: would Miley accept his apology and make amends with her father? The source noted: "With Firerose out of the picture, she's willing to at least try to repair the damage and once again have a loving relationship with him."

As of this writing, neither of the two musicians has publicly spoken about the report.
In May, the Associated Press reported that the 62-year-old musician filed a petition to divorce Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rosie Hodges. The two unfollowed each other on social media just weeks after the filing.
Later on, Billy Ray sought a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife amid their divorce proceedings. He alleged that she spent over $90,000 on 37 unauthorized charges on his business account, including more than $70,000 worth of legal fees to her attorneys.
The following day, Firerose counter-sued Billy Ray as she claimed that she was abused. Before she underwent surgery earlier this year, the singer allegedly placed her into an "emotional and psychological prison."
Billy Ray and Firerose were only married for seven months. He was previously married to Tish Cyrus, with whom he has five children: Miley, Trace Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, Braison Cyrus, and Noah Cyrus.
Last year, Tish got married to Dominic Purcell.
