Billy Ray Cyrus doesn't have a beef with his 15-year-old daughter Miley dating 20-year-old aspiring musician Justin Gaston.

"He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20-years-old and I was living and searching for the dream," Billy Ray tells Access Hollywood of the model (and former Nashville Star contestant).

"He's got a great heart and soul, and a lot of determination," Billy Ray added. "I think that's the true measure of a man, is when you measure his heart."

Gaston and Cyrus have gotten cozy since they were first linked together last month.

He was spotted attending an L.A. church with her family and supported her at Disney's Concert for Hope, where she performed.

Most recently, he serenaded Miley at her pre-Sweet 16 bash at Disneyland this past weekend.

    You People all have your minds in the gutter. When I was 16 I was doing with a guy that was 22 and we did not have sex. He respected me to much and loved to much and was willing to wait untill we were married. He was killed in a accident a year later and we never did have sex. So back off Miley

    The age of consent is 18. Miley's 15 & will be 16 on 11/23. Star or not, she's over 2 yrs. under that"magic" number. She started dating him around late summer. Her folks are aware of this per media interviews. They seem to encourage this still. Is all of this a ruse? Who knows?

    All of you who say the boyfriend is a pedophile are retarded. Just because he is older doesn't mean they are having sex. Just let them live their lives and if they are so be, is it necessary that we all need to criticize their lives, thats what the paparazzi is for!!! So shut up about the pedophile life!!!

    Her parents (especially her father) needs to go to jail for child endangerment. That is statutory rape if sex is going on... I think we can safely assume especially now in these days. Lets not be gullable and green. Unless you are too green to accept this fact. Gaston needs to go to jail to and register as a sex offender (pedophile). Also for a Disney example, teen pregnancy would not look to hot.

    "He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20-years-old and I was living and searching for the dream," Billy Ray tells Access Hollywood of the model. Miley's father almost practically admits he was a pedophile and sexual predator at the age of 20 too. NO father in their right mind would promote such a relationship (15 yr and 20 yr), except Jeff Warren &

    This just proves my theory again, that sexual predators and pedophiles, for example Justin Gaston, must have a very small jammy. Maybe his stuff is too small for a woman of his age or he lacks experience. The worst thing about the whole thing is that her father practically admits he was a pedophile at the age of 20 too. So, you can see why he don't have problem with it. She's bein
