Billy Ray Cyrus: "I've Dropped the Divorce"

According to multiple reports, Billy Ray Cyrus has withdrawn his petition to divorce his wife Tish. Legal documents that were filed on Thursday state that "The parties are attempting a reconciliation."

Cyrus made an appearance on ABC's The View, to be aired Friday, in which he says, "I've dropped the divorce. I want to put my family back together... Things are the best they've ever been."

"I feel like I got my Miley back in a way," said Cyrus, 49, who felt that Miley's fame was compromising their family. "I feel like we are the daddy and daughter that we were before Hannah Montana happened."

Billy Ray and Tish issued a joint statement back in October stating that they would be ending their 17-year marriage. A few months after that, Miley was seen smoking salvia in a viral video. Then, in an interview for GQ, Billy Ray blamed Miley's hit Disney Channel show "Hannah Montana" for detroying the Cyrus family. He also said that he felt Miley surrounded herself with people who put her in "a great deal of danger."

During his interview for The View, Billy Ray backpedaled a bit on one of his earlier comments, saying, "I don't think Hannah Montana ruined my family... Now fame, fame is a different animal. You've got to be careful with that thing."

According to a report from TMZ.com, Billy Ray and Tish have been seen out together in the last few weeks.
