Are Dolly Parton And Miley Cyrus Actually Related?

Miley Cyrus has been close to Dolly Parton her whole life.

Dolly is Miley’s godmother.

Billy Ray asked Dolly when Miley was born, she happily accepted, and the two have been thick as thieves ever since.

But who knew they were actually BLOOD relatives this whole time.

They just found out that they’re 7th cousins, once removed. They have a common ancestor named John Brickey, who was born in 1740 in Virginia.

Dolly was interviewed by “People” magazine when they surprised her with the news from Ancestry.com. Dolly sure loved it, and said this about Miley:

“I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of it, but it doesn’t surprise me because she does feel like family.”

That’s a pretty strong musical family tree. You’ve got Dolly Parton . . . Miley Cyrus . . . and even Billy Ray, too.
