Miley Cyrus' Dad Approves Of 20 Year Old Boyfriend
Miley Cyrus is 15 and her boyfriend, Justin Gaston, is 20. A lot of parents might have a problem with this, but not Billy Ray Cyrus. Billy was quoted as saying,
"He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20-years-old and I was living and searching for the dream. He's got a great heart and soul, and a lot of determination. I think that's the true measure of a man, is when you measure his heart."
Aside from the age difference, as a parent watching your famous teen daughter date, must be hard because you just never know who has ulterior motives. If this kid is in the business dating Miley is obviously very good for him. I don't know what to think. Personally I wouldn't want my daughter to date a 20 year old when she's 15, but then there's the other side of the coin...age is just a number. What do you think?

Age is not just a number at 15 and 20. Huge difference. Huge. And I have a 20 year old son. There is no way I'd let him near a 15 year old girlfriend. LOL.

You read my mind! Age DOES matter when it comes to teen agers! You wouldn't want your 10 yr old with a 15 yr old would you?

Thank you so much. I dont approve of her and justin being "touchy feely" in CHURCH!!! And what Billy Ray is depriving Miley of, is the love and sencibility, to sit her down, and tell her he dosent approve of this. He is only letting them go out, all because he is scared, that he wil make his "princess" upset, and that she will say I hate you dad! Thats what they have to learn, and she wount grow up, with the integrity to say no to an underwear modle. And at this moment, its illeagle for them to be going out. Im 13
Hey sweetheart, first of all, you can't even spell "illegal" right. 2nd of all, dating someone isn't illegal, them ****ing is. Get your **** straight.
well age is just a number its all on how you act and how mature you are!!! im 16 and never in my life have i dated a guy my age its always been 118 19 or 20 year olds everyone has there own opion on it~~!!!!
When I have children, I'd never let my 15 year old date a 20 year old, no way. I think that at that age, age isn't just a number. There's such a huge difference between the maturity levels at that age, I think it's irresponsible. I'm 20, I wouldn't date a 15 year old guy!! Having said that, Miley ISN'T at the same level of maturity as other 15 year olds, so in this case it could be viewed as different.

not a good idea.....hope her mom has the last word

What I want to know is what is wrong with her boyfriend??? At 20 years old there is NO reason you should want to date a 15 year old
I agree with the last comment. Why would a 20 year old want to date a girl that just turned 16?? To me that makes him seem like a bit of a loser non?

I think age only starts being "just a number" when both people concerned are adults.
I thing Billy Ray should rethink this.

What's the saying? 15 will get you 20? She's still a child. I'd never let my 15/16 year old date an adult. I'm sure it happens in Hollywood a LOT and is just covered up. Like Lindsay Lohan dated Wilmer Valderama..they were just "friends" until she turned 18 -uhhuh. Same with Hayden P., I would bet money that she was dating whatshisface way before she turned of age. heck, my daughter will be 17 in three weeks and I won't let her date anyone over 18. She's still a minor.

"Same with Hayden P., I would bet money that she was dating whatshisface way before she turned of age." Please bet your money with me, because Hayden was still dating Stephen Coletti from Laguna Beach even after she turned 18.
i agree with all that has been said - age is not just a number at that age and maturity level. there is a huge maturity gap between those two ages and there is something wrong with a 20 year old guy wanting to be with such a young girl. Despite miley having a successful career, i think she's actually proved to be rather immature for her age with all the inappropriate pictures she takes and videos she posts on youtube criticizing other young stars. in any case, it is odd to me that her very christian family would be supportive of such a relationship since we all know what 20 year old guys want...
WHO CARES HOW OLD HE IS! Her boyf is a DOUCHE!! I can't stand the way he stands around in jeans & a tank, all pouting his lips and stuff. He is a wussy pretty boy!
So Billy Ray is cool with statutory rape then?

Your comment would imply that they're going to have sex. That's quite a leap. I hope the vast majority of girls don't have sex with every guy they go on a date with.
not really a leap in today's world. pretty much all teenagers her age are sexually active and most are having sex. she's 16 now, the likely hood that she's not engaging in SOME sexual activity with her boyfriend is small to none. now put a celebrity teenager into the mix who pretty much gets whatever she wants and has the responsibilities of an adult, i'd say it's safe to say they're doing something they shouldn't be behind closed doors. i think a lot of parents these days need a reality check. if you have a teenage kid, he or she has most likely had sex, tried drugs and drinks socially. i realize that a lot of parents like to see and hope for the good in their kids but it's 2008. kids are aging way, way faster (although depending on how you look at it you could say the opposite). i think the only thing that can be done is to educate your children about safety in every facet. if they know they have a parent that will be there for them instead of yell and ground and be mad, they WILL call when they're in trouble and they will be wayyyy more honest with their parents.
LOL!!(: You seriously just made me laugh wicked hard. Roflmao. xD
My daughter is nearly 15 and there is NO WAY I would allow her to date a 20 yr. I don't care who he was, or how well we knew him, it would not even be an option. As others have said, it's not just numbers. I'm sure the 20 yr old in question is star-struck (who wouldn't want to date a celebrity), but it's just wrong in my eyes. I can't believe this is even a question, and I'm disappointed that her parents would allow this. Like or not, she's a role model to young girls, and this is not a good thing.
Daddy Cyrus still wants to bang his daughter, now he's doing it vicariously throught a 20 yr old model!

creepy on all counts.
whereas i don't agree with letting ur 16 yr old date a 20 yr old i knew plenty of girls in high school who dated guys in their 20's. its nothing new it happens all the time, besides most girls don't want to date a high school guy, they want an older guy. billy cyrus creeps me out
I have four daughters 17-26. MY rule in high school was "one year, one grade". I would only let them date one year older or grade higher in school. Really what does a Senior boy have in common with a frosh girl?..nothing..!!! Once they are 18 they can decide for themselves. As they get older the age does not matter. IT is a good rule and probably helped protect my girls.
I did think Jason was hot on Nashville Star, which Billy Ray hosted. I think Billy Ray got to know him over the weeks on Star and behind the scenes and he trusts the guy. Miley, given her career path is 15 going on 30, Jason has lived a more sheltered life and he's the naive one. She's going to be on to the next hot rising young star very soon - we shouldn't be worried about her.
this has got to be a joke, right? like his approval has anything to do with what is required to transition her career. dad has been praying to green deity for a long time.
I think... who cares about her and who she might be dating??
He is a country boy who was used to seeing little girls with old men(Billy Ray) A 20 year old boy who dates a 15 year old girl needs help! They are all Country Bumpkins they remind me of the Beverly Hillbillies!
Age is just a number, but not at 15. Granted she is no normal teenager there is still a lot of growing between 15 and 20. In normal terms it would be a sophmore in high school that's into boys, clothes, and magazines dating a junior in college that's into frat parties and internships. It's two totally different parts of life.

It may seem bad for a 15 year old to be dating a 20 year old I sure wouldn't let my daughter do that BUT Miley is probably very mature for her age and that may be why her dad would approve
