Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus finalized their divorce after announcing their separation in April 2022, following nearly 30 years of marriage.

Divorce Announcement

Tish filed for divorce on April 6, 2022 , in Williamson County, Tennessee, citing "irreconcilable differences" and noting they hadn't lived together for over two years. The couple shared a joint statement with People magazine:

"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."

This marked the third divorce filing —previous ones in 2010 (Billy Ray) and 2013 (Tish) were both withdrawn as they reconciled.

Relationship Timeline

  • 1991 : Met at a club in Los Angeles.
  • December 1993 : Married in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
  • 1990s-2000s : Welcomed Miley (1992), Braison (1994), Noah (2000); Billy Ray adopted Tish's kids Brandi and Trace.
  • 2010 & 2013: Temporary divorce filings, but they reunited each time.
  • 2020-2022 : Lived apart during the pandemic (Tish in California, Billy Ray in Tennessee).
  • 2022 : Permanent split announced; legally finalized later that year.

Post-Divorce Reflections

In February 2024, Tish opened up on the Call Her Daddy podcast, saying the marriage "had not been in a good place for a long time" due to mutual "disrespect," and she stayed out of "fear of being alone" after meeting Billy Ray at age 24. By late 2024, Tish described the split as "tough on everyone" but emphasized family bonds remain strong. Both have since remarried—Tish to Dominic Purcell in 2023, Billy Ray briefly to Firerose (divorced 2024).

Family Impact & Trending Context

Their kids, especially Miley Cyrus, have navigated the fallout publicly—Miley skipped mentioning her dad in a 2024 Grammys speech, sparking buzz. As of March 2026, no major updates, but the story still trends in celebrity gossip forums for its ups-and-downs drama.

TL;DR : Third filing stuck—divorce announced April 2022 after 30 years, two prior attempts, and a rollercoaster of love, scandals, and family life.
