But now, it’s the Cyrus family’s personal life that is hogging all the headlines!

Who doesn’t know Miley Cyrus?

Considering she’s just twenty-nine 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 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…

The star’s single, ‘We Can’t Stop’ from her fourth album Bangerz, 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 recently, some sad news has 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 almost thirty 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 was reported to be engaged.

Fans can’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?”

However, the relationship didn’t go 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 sixty-one-year-old country singer got engaged to twenty-eight-year-old Australian singer, Firerose.

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.

But then, the engagement was confirmed as Firerose has been spotted wearing a huge diamond ring in one of Billy Ray’s latest posts.

Alongside the snap, he captioned it: “Happy Autumn,” followed by a red heart emoji.

Since then, an old interview of Firerose resurfaced, where she shared that she first met Billy Ray “10 years ago,” as a teenager, “on the set of Hannah Montana.”

The news didn’t sit well with fans…

One Facebook user wrote: “Hollywood is weird.”

While another commented: “So we’re just going to ignore the fact that he had to have groomed her this entire time? Man, kinda makes you wonder if he was the reason Miley fell off the wagon by the end of Hannah Montana.”

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 pair have opened up to People about their relationship.

Billy Ray even referred to Firerose as “the real deal”.

Billy Ray shared that it was actually his German Shepherd Tex who he has to thank for being introduced to his new fiancée, as she initially approached him to meet the hound!

He told the star: “Don’t ever take a strange man up on this offer, but, in this case, Tex will testify that you will be totally safe. I’m going to introduce you to a producer and you can kind of make yourself at home and watch us rehearse and you know, maybe it might lead to a role or just another contact at Disney.”

The country singer also explained that their love began to blossom during the pandemic.

“All of the sudden, the life that I’ve always known as a touring artist didn’t exist anymore. A moment of so much change,” Billy Ray said.

“And at the same time, Firerose, who had been such a light of positivity, such a best friend.

“And then when we began sharing the music, it just evolved more into, as musical soulmates, to soulmates, happy, pure love that to me, I didn’t know could exist.

“Again, we’re musicians, first and foremost, both of us. And we found this harmony, and this rhythm, this melody to life,” he concluded.

The sixty-one-year-old and twenty-eight-year-old are clearly happy together.

And now, Tish Cyrus has also opened up about her new partner!

She has shared an Instagram story alongside Prison Break star Dominic Purcell.

She even tagged the star and added a heart emoji.
