Tish Cyrus: Family, Marriage and Miley Cyrus Connection

Relationship to Miley Cyrus: Mother · Former spouse: Billy Ray Cyrus · Husband since 2023: Dominic Purcell · Children: five · Miley’s 2026 honor: Innovator of the Year

Most of the hard dates cluster in two windows, the 1993 to 2023 marriage years and the 2025 to 2026 reconciliation period, which is why the table is split the way it is.

Who is Tish to Miley Cyrus?

Tish Cyrus is Miley Cyrus’ mother, and the family’s public fights and reconciliations keep circling back to her. Miley has said she has “a lot of loyalty” to her mom, according to Tyla (entertainment news site).

Tish is the former wife of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who is Miley’s father, and the couple raised five children together.

Background details the record confirms

• Coverage reviewed here consistently names Tish as Miley’s mother, but no source reviewed gives her birth date or birthplace, so this article does not state them.
• Tish described the years after the divorce as “the roughest thing I’ve ever gone through” in a January 2026 appearance on The Squeeze podcast (The News (Pakistani news outlet)).

The implication: Tish’s place in the family is settled by marriage and motherhood, but her current feelings toward Billy Ray are not on the record, so any claim about them needs a named, on-record source.

How did Tish and Billy Cyrus meet?

The reporting reviewed here gives no dated account of how Tish and Billy Ray first met, so no date or setting appears in this article. The record starts with the marriage: the couple wed on 28 December 1993 in Tennessee, according to People (celebrity magazine).

Their marriage ended in court filings in 2022. Billy Ray filed for divorce in April 2022 citing irreconcilable differences, and the petition said the couple had not lived together since February 2020 (E! Online (entertainment network)).

The implication: the early years of the marriage remain undocumented in the reporting reviewed, so that story needs a dated, named source before it is printed.

Who are Tish Cyrus’ children?

E! Online lists five children from the marriage: Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison and Noah (E! Online (entertainment network)). That list is the basis for the family roster in this article.

Miley and Brandi

• Miley is Tish’s daughter, and her 2026 surname change is the most recent public family flashpoint.
• Brandi is among the five children, and no reviewed source describes her public role beyond that listing.

Noah, Braison and Trace

• Noah is one of the five children, and her absence from the 2023 wedding is covered in the Noah section below.
• Braison appears in the May 2025 birthday photo covered in the timeline below.
• Trace is one of the five children, and the reporting reviewed here does not describe his role beyond that listing.

The implication: the roster is solid, but the individual roles are thin, so a claim about any one child needs its own named source.

Which Cyrus sibling is adopted?

The reporting reviewed here contains no source that confirms any Cyrus sibling was adopted, so this article names none. Anyone searching this question will find no sourced answer in the material behind this piece.

Is Miley Cyrus’ sister Noah Cyrus?

• Noah appears in the five-child list from E! Online, which records her as a sibling of Miley (see the children section above).
• That list does not mention adoption for any child.

The implication: the adoption question stays open, and a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source would be needed before anyone prints an answer.

Why did Noah Cyrus not attend her mom’s wedding?

Noah Cyrus was absent from the bridal party at Tish’s August 2023 wedding to Dominic Purcell, which took place at Miley’s Malibu home, while Miley, Brandi and Trace took part, according to The Express (UK tabloid).

Which wedding is referenced and when it took place

• The wedding was Tish’s marriage to actor Dominic Purcell in August 2023.
• It took place at Miley’s home in Malibu.

What named sources have said about the absence

• No named source reviewed attributes a reason for Noah’s absence, so none is given here.
• The confirmed detail is the absence itself, reported without explanation.

The catch: the absence is documented, but the motive is not, so any explanation printed elsewhere should be treated as speculation.

Key dates in the Cyrus family rift

• Early 2025: Miley and Billy Ray reconciled, according to Tyla (entertainment news site).
• May 2025: Billy Ray posted a photo with Miley, her reported fiancé Maxx Morando and Braison for Braison’s 31st birthday. Fans then noticed Tish had unfollowed Miley on Instagram, which a source called “a glitch” (Page Six (New York gossip site)).
• 26 March 2026: Miley was named Innovator of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, attended with her mother Tish (The Mirror (UK tabloid)).
• 2 September 2026: Billy Ray publicly called the name change “a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend” (Yahoo News Canada (news portal)).

The pattern: the 2026 public appearances point to a working truce, while the name change shows how little the family has said about the rift itself.

Confirmed facts and open questions

Why this matters: the confirmed list is short, and the unclear list is longer, so readers should expect gaps rather than a complete account.

The implication: until Tish or a named source speaks on the record about her stance, the open column will keep outweighing the confirmed one.

What the family has said on the record

“We had a really difficult, you know, dark decade, we had one of those. Half of us weren’t speaking to each other at one point. We cleaned all that up.”

Miley Cyrus, singer, as reported by Tyla (entertainment news site)

“I told Miley yesterday I felt good about her going with her first name.”

Billy Ray Cyrus, country singer, as reported by Yahoo News Canada (news portal)

“the roughest thing I’ve ever gone through”

Tish Cyrus, speaking on The Squeeze podcast, as reported by The News (Pakistani news outlet)

The implication: all three speakers describe the family’s pain in their own words, and none of them addresses the reconciliation rumors directly.

What to watch next

Billy Ray’s public reaction to the name change and Miley’s 2026 appearance with her mother both point toward a public truce, but Tish has not spoken on the record about her ex-husband in 2026. Readers tracking this feud should wait for an on-record statement from Tish or Billy Ray, because the tabloid version of the rift has no named source behind it.
