Miley Cyrus is back in the news again!
And this time, it’s because fans are just realizing her real name.
It’s not Miley – nor is it Hannah Montana!
Scroll on to find out more…
Now, who doesn’t know Miley Cyrus…
Considering she’s just thirty years old, it’s pretty remarkable everything the star has done.
Miley is best known for her iconic role in Hannah Montana.
The then thirteen-year-old starred alongside her country singer dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, as Hannah Montana in the show which debuted in 2006.
The star played a grade-school student who lives a double life as an international pop star.
And it was a huge hit!
Such a hit that it even took to the box office, seeing Cyrus star alongside her Hannah Montana cast in Hannah Montana: The Movie.
The singer also released 2 albums while starring in Hannah Montana — producing several singles, including the popular 2009 hits ‘Party in the U.S.A.’, and ‘The Climb’.
But much to fans’ disappointment, filming stopped in late 2010.
In the same year that we waved goodbye to Hannah Montana, the star began her on-off relationship with Liam Hemsworth.
The 2 first met on the set of Nicholas Sparks’s film, The Last Song, in 2009, where they starred opposite each other as love interests.
Of course, we all know how that ended…
They may have been one of Hollywood’s most high profile couples, but just 8 months after tying the knot, the pair called it quits.
As the years passed, Miley quickly grew up…
And in 2012, we well and truly kissed goodbye to Hannah Montana when the star debuted her bleach blonde pixie cut, marking a change of direction for the singer…
And then was definitely clear that Miley’s Disney days were behind her when she released this music video for ‘Wrecking Ball’…
The star’s single, ‘We Can’t Stop’ from her fourth album Bangerz, also showed us a different side to the then twenty-one-year-old.
Around this time, the star attracted headlines for her rebellious antics, too.
And many dubbed her as just another Disney star who had gone off the rails.
But she managed to survive it all…
And in recent years, Miley has continued to make music and tour the world.
But some sad news emerged from within Miley’s family.
Miley’s mom, Tish, filed for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus after almost thirty years of marriage.
According to TMZ, Tish Cyrus filed the documents for divorce in Tennessee back in April.
The outlet reports that the pair had been married for twenty-eight years and have 5 children together.
Court documents obtained by TMZ reportedly state that Tish and Billy Ray haven’t lived together in more than 2 years.
The reason for the split is reportedly listed as “irreconcilable differences.”
For many fans, the news of their divorce has not come as a shock as they have filed for divorce twice previously in 2010 and 2013, though both times it was called off.
The outlet reports that Tish has asked for marital assets to be distributed equally.
Just months after their split was reported, Billy Ray Cyrus has reportedly got engaged.
Fans couldn’t believe the news…
One Twitter user wrote: “Billy Ray Cyrus getting engaged to a girl a year younger than Miley is gross. Why is it so hard for men to date people closer to their age.”
Another commented: “Wait, so Billy Ray Cyrus is 61 and engaged to a woman two years younger than Miley? What is up with straight men this month? Are you okay? Can you like not be weird for just a second?”
The country singer got engaged to twenty-eight-year-old Australian singer, Firerose.
And it clearly shocked a lot of people.
The pair got close while they were working on the single ‘New Day’ last year, and they clearly hit it off.
The couple has been spending a lot of time together in a number of posts on each of their Instagram accounts.
In one video, they were seen walking in the fields together with their dog.
In another, they were seen in a studio together.
And in a third video, they were seen going on a road trip.
The engagement was confirmed when Firerose was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring in Billy Ray’s latest post.
Alongside the snap, he captioned it: “Happy Autumn,” followed by a red heart emoji.

In the interview back in August 2021, Billy Ray and Firerose appeared on Live with Kelly and Ryan to perform their single.
She said they first met a decade ago, on the set of Hannah Montana, revealing that “Billy Ray has been a phenomenal supporter of my music ever since. He’s just really believed in me and continued to tell me to pursue my dreams no matter what, and not give up. The music industry is not easy, but he’s been just a really, really incredible support.”
The relationship hasn’t gone down well with Miley, not only have the father-daughter-duo unfollowed each other on Instagram, but she is also allegedly not on good terms with him.
A source told The Sun: “Miley is all about peace but she didn’t agree with some things that her father has done. It has really escalated and they are not on good terms. There were words exchanged over what happened towards the end of Billy and Tish’s marriage, and since then, but they clearly see things very differently.”
They continued: “Neither of them is particularly eager to make amends right now without an apology. The rest of the family are hoping it will blow over soon and they will be able to make up, but Billy and Miley are both upset.”
“The rest of the family are hoping it will blow over soon and they will be able to make up, but Billy and Miley are both upset.”
Miley was soon in the news again for wanting to be friends with her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
And it has got pretty awkward!
A source told Radar Online that Liam’s greatest fear was running into Miley at the supermarket.
Miley has reportedly reached out to her ex-husband 3 years after their contentious divorce.
The source claimed that despite Miley trying “several times” to contact Liam she has been “snubbed” at every opportunity.
“Miley wants to do some emotional healing and had hoped she and Liam could find a way to be friends again,” they said.
“But Liam won’t even return her calls and has let her know through others he doesn’t want any contact with her,” the source added.
Miley has also shared some news that has devastated her fans.
She’s revealed she has no plans to tour her upcoming album.
Speaking to British Vogue, Miley said: “After the last tour I did, I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t.”
“Not only can’t, because can’t is your capability, but my desire.”
“Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?”
“Like, singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love. There’s no connection. There’s no safety.”
“It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone.”
People can’t believe it!
One commented: “I am 21 years old and I am finally learning that Miley Cyrus’s name isn’t Miley Cyrus.”
During an old interview with ET, the star was asked what she’d legally changed her name to.
She replied: “Miley. What I’ve always been called, yeah.”
She then revealed her birth name was ‘Destiny Hope Cyrus’, joking: “Never again, it doesn’t technically legally count!”
