Billy Ray Cyrus responds to rumours that Miley and Liam Hemsworth secretly got married

Billy Ray Cyrus is backtracking on a cryptic Instagram post sparking rumours that his daughter Miley and her fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, had tied the knot.

"Whoa! Don't jump the gun," he posted on March 12.  "Been at work #StillTheKing Glad to see so many love @MileyCyrus the same as I do #happy."

Just two days before, Billy Ray, who stars on the CMT series Still the King, posted the same photo of a video camera viewfinder that showed a beaming Miley wearing a white lace dress or top. Many believed it was actually a wedding dress and that the 24-year-old singer had wed The Hunger Games star, 27.

"I'm so happy...you are happy @mileycyrus," read Billy Ray's cryptic post on March 10.

On being "happy" for his daughter, Bill Ray previously told told E! News, "Miley and I, we always had this slogan—'If you ain't happy, it ain't working,' Just seeing these—I still call 'em kids—these two kids happy, that's all that matters."

He added that he would be game for any role he's asked to perform should one of his kids take a trip down the aisle.

"If any of my kids decide that they're gonna have a wedding of any kind, whatever role they want me to play, I'll be there, you know what I mean?" he said.
"They want me to be the butler—that's fine. Whatever they choose. I might make a good preacher."

Additionally, Miley's manager confirmed to US Weekly that the two are not married (yet). "[It was] just some great photos that happen to have been taken in a white dress."

Miley and Liam met on the set of The Last Song in 2010 and got engaged for the first time in 2012. They got back together three years later, in 2015, with Miley confirming their re-engagement on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in October.

While it's certainly all love between her and Liam, the "Adore You" singer revealed that she wasn't actually a fan of the 3.5 carat vintage cushion-cut diamond Neil Lane engagement ring he had given her. "This is really weird, because this is like real jewelry and most of my jewelry is made out of gummy bears and cotton candy … they don’t look that good together because they kind of mix up," she told the talk show host.

"So sometimes I replace it with an actual unicorn or a Looney Tune. And [Hemsworth’s] kind of like, What’s going on?  I am like, This isn’t really my aesthetic, but I’ll wear it because you love me."
