In a twist that could only happen in the wild world of country music, it turns out that Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton are not just godmother and goddaughter—they're also blood relatives! Yes, you heard that right! It seems the family tree has some unexpected branches that are more like a twisty slide at a carnival.
- Dolly Parton has a new cookbook coming out
- While promoting it she learned that she has a special family tie
- THIS is how she is related to Miley Cyrus
Miley and Dolly are peas in a pod
The “Jolene” singer, 78, and sister Rachel Parton George were promoting their new cookbook, 'Good Lookin’ Cookin’: A Year Of Meals' on Access Hollywood. And here's where things got interesting.
They learned this fun fact: per Ancestry.com, the outlet discovered that Cyrus, 31, is a seventh cousin, once removed. “Is that true?! That’s amazing!” exclaimed the 10-time Grammy winner.
Parton added that she and Miley are “so close, I thought we would’ve been at least third cousins, 10 times removed. “I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of that,” the “9 to 5” star continued. “But it doesn’t surprise me, because she does feel like family.”
Picture this: Dolly, with her rhinestone-studded heart and an impressive collection of wigs, and Miley, the twerking pop princess with a penchant for wild outfits, suddenly discovering they share some good old-fashioned family ties. It’s like finding out your favorite pizza place is actually run by your long-lost uncle. “Well, this changes everything!” you might say as you take another slice.
The revelation came to light during a family reunion—because what else do you do with your relatives but awkwardly reminisce about who threw the best birthday parties in the ’80s? After some thorough digging through ancestry charts that looked more like a game of Twister, they uncovered a shared lineage. It’s basically the plot twist of a reality show, but with more sequins and less drama.
Now, they’re busy planning their next family gathering, which will likely involve karaoke, a lot of laughter, and perhaps a duet that could make the heavens weep. Just imagine: “Jolene” meets “Party in the USA”—the ultimate family jam!

But for now, let’s just enjoy the fabulousness of this unexpected family reunion!
