After almost three decades together, Tish Cyrus has decided to split from her husband Billy Ray Cyrus for the third time.
The parents of pop star Miley Cyrus are calling it quits again, according to the court filing first obtained by TMZ. In the divorce documents filed by Tish in Tennessee on April 6, she cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce and the fact that they haven’t lived together since February 2020. She is seeking an equal distribution of all marital assets. The couple first wed in 1993 in their living room in Franklin, Tennessee and share three kids together, 29-year-old Miley, 27-year-old Braison, and 22-year-old Noah. Tish also has two children from her previous marriage to Baxter Neal Helson, 34-year-old Brandi, and 33-year-old Trace.
Billy Ray originally filed for divorce in 2010. The couple released a joint statement after the news broke that read, “As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.” While they reconciled the following year, two years later in 2013, Tish filed for divorce a second time. Billy Ray said in another statement that they were simply asking the public to “respect our privacy at this time.” But by May 2017, they were once again back together and their divorce case was dismissed as, according to the hearing minutes obtained by E! News, “the parties have been properly [notified] of the proceedings, and having failed to appear, the court orders this case dismissed for delay and prosecution.”
