Cyrus Clan’s Dramas Unraveled — Billy Ray, Tish, Miley and Noah’s Rifts, Splits, Snubs... and Love Triangle!
Aug. 8 2024, Published 8:00 a.m. ET
The Drama Started After Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus’ Divorce
In April 2022, Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus days after announcing their separation, citing irreconcilable differences. They went through two previous divorce filings before they ended their marriage for good.
The family’s joint statement to People read: “It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways — not with sadness, but with love in our hearts.
“We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths. We will always be family and look forward to a continued and loving shared experience as friends and parents.”
It continued: “We have not come to this decision lightly or quickly but with so much going on in the world, we wanted to provide some clarity and closure, so we can remain focused on what is important.”
The divorce divided the family, with sources claiming the former couple’s split put a strain on Billy Ray’s relationship with Miley Cyrus.
Meanwhile, Noah Cyrus called her father her “hero” when they worked together on the song Noah (Stand Still).
Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus Moved On
Billy Ray popped the question to his now-estranged wife, Firerose, in August 2022, while Tish tied the knot with Dominic Purcell in August 2023.
During Tish’s wedding in Malibu, both Noah and Braison were absent from the ceremony. The All Falls Down singer later uploaded a photo of herself wearing a Billy Ray T-shirt while hanging out with her brother at a café.
An insider told Us Weekly that Noah’s closeness with Billy Ray caused a rift between her and the Wrecking Ball hitmaker.
The source said: “The family dynamics haven’t been the same since the divorce, and now that Tish and Billy Ray are with other people, there’s even more division among them all.”
Miley Cyrus Continuously Made Her Feelings Clear
In Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions), the 31-year-old Flowers singer opened up about Billy Ray while discussing her relationship with fame.
Miley said: “My dad grew up the opposite of me. I grew up on a soundstage, like, in a house with a family that was super close and all lived under the same roof, and I grew up financially stable and emotionally stable, I think, in my relationships also.”
She added Billy Ray had a “much different experience” with fame, saying: “That’s something that my dad didn’t have.”
Trace Cyrus Joined the Famous Family Drama
During a Q&A session on his Instagram in August 2023, Trace Cyrus candidly said he would be more successful if he was not part of his family.
The former Metro Station member said: “People immediately want to judge me and discredit all my hard work because of who I’m related to. But that’s so far from the truth. I got a record deal without anyone from my label even knowing who I was related to until after they signed me.”
Miley Cyrus Snubbed Billy Ray
In February, Miley delivered her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards and noticeably omitted her father from her message.
After mentioning the people closest to her, including Tish and her boyfriend Maxx Morando, Miley said: “I don’t think I forgot anyone. But I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!”
A source told Us Weekly about Billy Ray’s alleged attempts to reach out to Miley several times to congratulate her: “The kids have chosen sides, but friends are hoping the rift doesn’t last forever. Miley and Billy Ray are on the outs. Miley’s very close with her mom and is standing by her.”
On the other hand, a separate insider told People that Noah had been loyal to Billy Ray after the divorce.
There Was a Love Triangle Involving Tish and Noah Cyrus
In February, Us Weekly shared a report about Noah seeing Dominic before her mom pursued him.
The outlet’s source claimed: “The turmoil between Noah and Tish goes far beyond [what people think]. Noah is very distraught over Tish stealing Dominic from her.”
However, a separate insider told Daily Mail that Noah never dated Dominic. The family drama led Tish and her husband to seek therapy together.
Miley Cyrus Spoke About Her Parents
On My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Miley chose Tish when asked if Billy Ray was her personal hero. Despite the comment, she noted she has “a lot of love” for her father.
She said: “Without my dad, I know who I am as a person wouldn’t exist. Because my dad, as a creative and as an artist, and the way his brain works, has always made me feel safer in my own mind.”
Tish Cyrus Reunited With Noah
After months of family drama, Tish and Noah reunited for the first time in three years. The mom-and-daughter tandem was seen heading into the Encino Financial Center in Los Angeles.
