It’s reported that they encountered each other on the set of their 2022 festive movie, Christmas in Paradise, where they got along well and maintained contact.
Billie’s celebrity daughter, 32-year-old Miley, has voiced her opinion on the matter, sharing her perspective on her father’s new partner.
‘As I’ve gotten older, I respect my parents as individuals instead of as parents because, you know, my mom really loved my dad for her whole life,’ Miley told New York Times podcast
The Interview
.
‘Now that my mother has fallen deeply in love with my stepfather, Dom, whom I genuinely admire, and seeing my father find joy elsewhere as well, I am able to appreciate each of them individually rather than viewing them merely as a parental couple. I’m handling this maturely.’

Of her dad’s new romance, the Wrecking Ball singer said: ‘At first, it’s hard because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, “yes, that’s your dad – but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.”
‘So now my grown-up self has caught up. And my younger self has also caught up,’ she mentioned.
Miley’s adult self recently released her ninth studio album. Titled Something Beautiful, it features the singles End of the World,More to Lose and Easy Lover.
