Where the once close-knit family now stand.

The Cyrus Family have long been household names. And despite whether you know all the members of the talented family, or just Billy Ray and Miley, chances are you know how close they all were. 

From working together to singing together, shooting family reality TV shows and sharing close family moments on social media – the Cyrus family appeared closer than other Hollywood siblings and parents. 

Which is why, after news broke in 2022 that Billy Ray and Tish were splitting after 28 years of marriage, fans were devastated to see the sibling’s close relationships falter.

After two previous divorce filings, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus finally decided to go their separate ways in April 2022. Tish filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

“We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths,” the former couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement. After marrying in 1993 and welcoming three children together, Billy Ray filed for divorce in 2010 before withdrawing is petition and Tish filed for divorce in 2013 before the pair rekindled their romance after attending couples therapy together. 

Following their official split, both Tish and Billy Ray found love again, with Billy Ray announcing his engagement to Aussie singer Firerose in November 2022 and Tish announcing her engagement to actor Dominic Purcell in May 2023.

Who attended Tish Cyrus’ Wedding? 

Although the blended family had remained quiet, it appears the pair’s five children (Billy adopted Tish’s two children from a previous relationship) are not entirely supportive of their parent’s new relationships. 

As internet rumours swirled, Miley Cyrus and her siblings seemed to confirm the tense family tensions at Tish’s wedding in August 2023. Brandi, Trace and Miley – Tish’s three oldest children were all in attendance. But Noah and Braison took to Instagram to publically confirm they were not attending the nuptials, with Noah even wearing a Billy Ray shirt in a thinly veiled swipe. 

Eldest brother Trace seemingly responded to his sibling’s snub by sharing a throwback photo of himself, Miley and Brandi smiling in a cute photo with their mum, of which Trish also reposed to her own Instagram story.

This isn’t the first time the Cyrus family’s potential feud has made headlines. When Tish filed for divorce in April, Noah blocked her mum on Instagram. In June Noah and Brandi unfollowed each other on social media and Braison does not currently follow Tish or Brandi online. To further complicate matters, Miley unfollowed her dad shortly after news of her parent’s separation went public last year. 

Whilst they may have been some shady Instagram posts that alluded to the family’s troubles, none of the Cyrus family have made any comment on the matter.

Noah Cyrus, 23

Noah was born in 2000 and is the youngest child of Billy and Tish. A child actor and now a successful singer, the youngest Cyrus member has been close with her siblings before her parent’s divorce. 

In October 2022 she brought her brother Tace on stage to perform together and in 2017 she performed alongside Miley and Billy Ray. Although she and Miley were close, she admitted that living in her sister’s professional shadow was difficult. 

“Everyone gave me such a hard time for having a hard time being Miley’s little sister. … It was absolutely unbearable,” she revealed in an Instagram Live in 2020. 

“That was something I heard my whole life, every single day, my whole life. It was either that or that I wasn’t enough in some way, whether it was the way I look or the way I am. Like I said the other day, sometimes I feel like I don’t even breathe right.”
