Brandi Cyrus Shares Why She Doesn’t Want Kids

by

Brandi Cyrus is offering her thoughts on motherhood.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that the gracious host of the “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast, who happens to be in a relationship with Matt Southcombe, opened up about her thoughts on the prospect of parenthood someday.

During the July 15th episode of the Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey podcast, Brandi shared that she doesn’t plan on having children. She chuckled and mentioned that she isn’t particularly fond of kids.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ll openly share that hearing about Harry Jowsey’s life adjustments for potential future parenthood struck a chord with me. It serves as a reminder of the importance of considering our choices and preparing ourselves for the wonderful journey of starting a family.

Upon returning from New Zealand, the former contestant on Too Hot to Handle mused, “Perhaps it’s time I begin behaving like a husband.” He reminisced about making changes, such as trading his Lamborghini for a more family-friendly vehicle, complete with screens in the back.

Moreover, even though he doesn’t have children as of now, Harry, aged 28, mentioned that he plans to utilize his recently acquired family-oriented vehicle when the opportunity arises.

He went on to say, ‘I have a godchild, so if he wishes to join me on a journey, he’s more than welcome to choose his own entertainment.’

Similarly, Brandi’s sibling, Miley Cyrus, has openly shared her thoughts on possibly having kids in the future.

In an interview with W Magazine back in June 2024, she expressed that she’s yet to decide whether or not she wants children. She added a thoughtful note, saying, “In a sense, my followers might feel like they’re my children.

A few years back, the 32-year-old, who is the aunt of Braison Cyrus and his wife Stella Cyrus, as well as their 4-year-old son Bear, expressed her reasons for not feeling particularly drawn to motherhood.

She expressed in an Elle interview in July 2019 that we are supposed to maintain the planet with a population. However, when this isn’t aligned with our intentions or goals, there is often harsh judgment and anger directed towards those who choose not to procreate. In some cases, they even attempt to legislate their views, imposing them upon others—even in instances of unwanted pregnancies resulting from violence.

At the time when Miley was married to her former husband Liam Hemsworth, she chose not to have children due to environmental considerations.

As a conscientious steward of our world, I firmly believe we’ve been entrusted with a planet that’s showing signs of distress. I refuse to pass on this burden to my child. Until I can confidently assure them of a future where they can enjoy the simple pleasures like swimming in clean waters teeming with life, I won’t bring another soul into this world to inherit our current challenges.

Billy Ray Cyrus married Tish Cyrus (née Leticia Finley) on Dec. 28, 2003.

Back then, when they were already gracing the world with their 12-month-old bundle of joy, Destiny Hope Cyrus (known later as Miley Cyrus), and Tish was carrying their second child, Braison, who entered our world on May 9, 1994. I simply can’t get enough of this amazing family!

Approximately seven months prior to Miley’s birth on November 23, 1992, Billy Ray’s former partner, Kristin Luckey, welcomed their son Christopher Cody Cyrus into the world on April 8th.

When Billy Ray Cyrus tied the knot with Tish, he legally took on the responsibility of raising Brandi Cyrus (born May 26, 1987) and Trace Cyrus (Feb. 24, 1989), who were previously Baxter Helson’s children from a previous marriage.

Trish and Billy Ray’s youngest, daughter Noah Cyrus, was born Jan. 8, 2000.

Between 2006 and 2010, Billy Ray portrayed the role of Miley’s character’s father who doubled as a pop star in the Disney Channel sitcom “Hannah Montana” and the 2009 movie version of it.

Prior to their relocation, the Cyrus family resided in Nashville. However, with the intention of launching her own career in entertainment, Billy Ray and his daughter Miley chose to migrate to Los Angeles.

In October 2010, Billy Ray and Tish publicly declared their intention to separate, yet by the next year, they had reconciled.

In June 2013, they initiated divorce proceedings once more, yet by the end of July, they decided to retract their decision, citing that their experience in marriage counseling had significantly improved their relationship. They shared this news with TopMob News at the time.

Prior to their reconciliation, when it was announced that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, had initiated divorce proceedings in a Nashville court after 19 years of marriage, Miley tweeted, “Given that our previous modes of communication seem to be ineffective, would you prefer to communicate via this medium instead, Dad?

Following their co-starring role in the 2010 film “The Last Song” and an on-again, off-again relationship spanning a decade, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth tied the knot in December 2018, shortly after their Malibu residence was destroyed by fire.

The decision was made, as she remembered, from a space of dealing with trauma and attempting to rebuild as swiftly as possible, which she discussed in her “Used to Be Young” TikTok series.

But Liam filed for divorce in August 2019 and they finalized the paperwork in January 2020.

According to our source, it was quite straightforward. They fell in love as youngsters, but they’ve both changed over time.

Braison and his wife Stella Cyrus welcomed son Bear Chance Cyrus on June 8, 2021. 

Tish filed for divorce fo a third time in April 2022, and this time it stuck.

Furthermore, her request made reference to “insurmountable disagreements,” stating that she and her spouse, who had been married for nearly 30 years, had not resided together since February 2020.

After three decades, five wonderful kids, and a wealth of cherished moments, Tish and Billy Ray have chosen to follow different paths—not out of sadness, but with love in their hearts. As they’ve grown together, built a family they can be proud of, it’s now time for each of them to carve out their individual journeys.

They mentioned that their choice to part ways permanently wasn’t made casually or hastily. However, they emphasized that they would forever remain family, and were excited about the prospect of maintaining a close and affectionate friendship and co-parenting relationship in the future.

In August 2022, Billy Ray discreetly became engaged to the 27-years-younger Australian singer Firerose. However, he chose not to announce this news until November of the same year.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that my passion for music, nurtured in the heart of Australia, has always stood out as the most significant element in my life. To put it simply, I’ve been familiar with his tunes since time immemorial.

What started as a friendship turned into more during the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Suddenly, my life as a touring artist seemed to vanish, Billy Ray explained. ‘A time of immense change indeed. Not only had my long-time companion Firerose, who was always a source of positivity and a dear friend, left me, but our shared music journey evolved into something deeper – from musical partners to soulmates. The love I experienced in this transition was unlike anything I’d known before.’

In November 2022, when Tish’s former spouse announced his engagement, she made her relationship with “Prison Break” actor Dominic Purcell official on Instagram.

In April 2023, they became engaged, and they exchanged vows in Malibu during a sunset ceremony in August, with Miley, Trace, and Brandi nearby, supporting their mother on this special day.

Life is ever-changing and unforeseeable; this sentiment was expressed by Trace as he shared a photo of himself with his two siblings alongside the bride. To him, it seems essential to appreciate the past, anticipate the future, and find contentment in the current moment, for that’s all we truly possess.

Miley shared with Vogue that it was deeply moving for her to witness her mother so joyful and in love before her wedding. “Dom and my mom have a heartwarming, sincere affection. It feels as if they’re falling in love for the first time, which perfectly suits my mother, who embodies such a youthful spirit.

Regarding her father’s upcoming phase, it was reported by TopMob News in October 2022 that Miley herself expressed a lack of affection for it and hasn’t maintained a bond with the woman who might become her stepmother in the future.

As a devoted daughter, I’ve found the separation of my parents has created an emotional barrier between us, making it challenging to reconnect over the past year. However, I remain optimistic that we can mend our bond and work towards healing our relationship in time.

Billy Ray communicated to People magazine in November that there were no lingering ill-feelings within his family regarding his engagement.

He commented, “Each person is moving forward,” indicating that it had been quite an ordeal, but everyone understood that it was past due for something new to begin.

On October 10, 2023, they tied the knot, referring to it as a “wonderful, jubilant day when our two spirits became one within the sacred bond of marriage.

It seems that the disagreement or issue between Miley and her father remained unresolved by the evening of the 2024 Grammys, which took place on February 4th.

Tish, Brandi, and Maxx Morano (Miley’s boyfriend) were all present, and they all received recognition when Miley Cyrus was awarded Record of the Year.

As Miley concluded her speech, “I don’t think I forgot anyone.”

It’s worth noting that among the three speculations about Noah and Dominic’s relationship, neither has been explicitly confirmed or denied. However, in an Instagram exchange in April 2024, the Grammy-nominated singer strongly rebuked a commenter who made a lewd insinuation about both Noah and Tish having intimate relations with the actor.

In his message, Noah apologized but asked rather humorously, “Could you possibly swallow the largest swallow, if only for a moment? Many thanks.

Approximately eight months following their wedding, Billy Ray initiated proceedings to nullify the marriage, claiming in court papers that it was obtained through deception.

He listed May 22, 2024, as their date of separation.

However, Billy Ray amended his plan and filed for divorce, which was settled that August.

Billy Ray expressed his shock about the outrageous, unbelievable scam he encountered to TopMob News, stating, “I find myself directly involved, essentially the main focus of this fraudulent act. It’s regrettable that it unfolded in such a manner.

Trace started a Jan. 22, 2025 Instagram post addressed to his father, stating, “From my earliest recollections, I’ve been captivated by you and thought you were incredibly awesome. I aspired to emulate you. The day you welcomed me into our family was the most joyful moment of my life. Regrettably, the person I yearned so much to be like is hardly recognizable to me now.

Speaking about his sisters, he went on to say, “For a long time, my sisters and I have truly been concerned about you, but you’ve managed to keep us at arm’s length.”

“He mentioned his sisters, saying, ‘Over the years, it’s been my sisters and me who have felt genuine concern for you, yet you’ve kept us all at a distance.’

Noah was especially hurt, according to Trace.

Noah has deeply wished for you to be involved in her life, but unfortunately, you haven’t been there for her,” he expressed. “That’s your daughter, and she deserves more than this. Somehow, just like me, she still looks up to you. We are all holding onto memories of the person we once knew and hoping that one day he will come back.

On January 26, 2025, following concerns expressed by his son Trace and his sisters Miley, Brandi, Noah, the country music star took to a YouTube Shorts post to express his feelings, saying, “Sending prayers for my family, for my kids – both sons and daughters – and their mother.

By March 2025, it appeared that Billy Ray’s relationship with his children was on the mend, as he publicly acknowledged their achievements in a heartfelt tribute, celebrating Miley and Noah’s recent musical ventures.

In his Instagram post, he expressed admiration for their artistic progress, stating that they had elevated their craft to unprecedented heights. He congratulated them and admitted feeling an overwhelming sense of pride, going so far as to say he was on the verge of tears. However, since he couldn’t see them, he hoped his emotions remained unseen.

In May 2025, Billy Ray posted a picture of himself with Miley, Maxx Morando (Miley’s boyfriend), and Braison Cyrus (Billy Ray’s son) on what seems to be his farm in Tennessee. He titled his Instagram post, “Happy Birthday Braison!!!

The following day, Miley addressed the speculations about the family feud on Instagram, acknowledging that she and her father have encountered difficulties throughout the years.

Miley went on to say, “Now that I’m in my thirties, my family takes top priority. It’s comforting to know that relationships have strengthened and time has allowed healing. I’m thankful for the wellness and affection we share as a family.
