After knowing that Billy was also expecting a child with another woman, Christopher’s mother Kristin was completely devastated. In an interview, the waitress recalled her utter heartbreak,
“He went on TV and announced that he had a beautiful baby boy and another baby on the way. And that’s how I found out about Tish being pregnant with Miley. My jaw just dropped.

“She doesn’t play the superstar in private. She’s a normal teenager having fun and she can laugh at herself.”
He further added,
“She’s the same now as she was before all this fame. She’s still my goofy sister. Miley is not a self-obsessed person at all. She’s just trying to have fun while working hard and I don’t know anyone who dislikes her.”
