Billy Ray Cyrus’ wife Tish has filed for divorce from the country music star after being married to him for 28 years.

Tish Cyrus Files For Divorce 

Daily Mail reported that Tish, 54, cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce from Billy Ray last week in Tennessee. They are the parents of five children together, including singer Miley Cyrus.

Tish stated in court documents that she and Billy Ray have not been living together for the past two years. The couple had not been photographed on a red carpet together since the 2019 Grammy Awards, where they were seen holding hands and being affectionate with one another.

Tish and Billy Ray had not appeared in any photos together since 2020, with fans noting that Billy Ray had been absent from the family Christmas photos since then.

Third Time The Cyrus’s Have Split

This marks the third time that Tish or Billy Ray have filed for divorce during their marriage. He filed for divorce in 2010, only to change his mind. And, she filed for divorce in 2013 before they reconciled a few months later.

Tish asked in court documents that their marital assets be equally distributed. It’s previously been reported that Billy Ray’s net worth is around $20 million. When they got married in 1993, Billy Ray was just starting to find success in the country music world. 

Billy Ray was previously married to Cindy Smith from 1986 until 1991. He has a 30-year-old son Christopher with his ex-girlfriend Kristin Luckey. He and Tish are parents to five children: Miley, 29, Braison, 27, Noah, 22, and Trace, 33 and Brandi, 34 whom Billy Ray adopted since they were from Tish’s first marriage.

Tish Admitted Marriage Is Hard

Tish has previously publicly admitted that marriage can be difficult. 

“I do think that marriage is hard work,” she once said. “And I think a lot of people, when you go through struggles and difficult times, that people throw in the towel a little too easy.”

“And I think that any relationship — whether it’s marriage or family, it doesn’t matter — it’s you truly do have to take care of it and nurture and really work hard at relationships,” Tish added. “And that’s not always easy, especially in the business that we’re in. So I think it’s a lot just dedication and communication, which I’m not very good at.”

Billy Ray Discusses 2013 Split

Billy Ray had previously opened up about his 2013 split from Tish.

“We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together,” he said of their reconciliation. “We both went into couples therapy something we haven’t done in 22 years of being together, and it’s brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways.”

“Tish also said marriage can be really hard especially after 22 years of being in entertainment,” he added. “We’ve had rough times but we both realized we didn’t want to be another statistic and wanted to make it work.”

Not to get too corny, but looks like someone has an ‘achy breaky heart.’

The Cyrus family has yet to make any kind of public comments about this divorce. It’s never fun to see a marriage come to an end, particularly one that was as long as this one was. We pray that the divorce remains amicable, and that both Billy Ray and Tish can find peace.
