How Brandi Cyrus Reacted to Tish Cyrus’ Wedding to Dominic Purcell

Brandi Cyrus needed her mom Tish Cyrus to take a beat before saying “I do” again.

In fact, the host of “Sorry We’re Cyrus” shared the wisdom she offered to her mother prior to marrying Dominic Purcell, who she wedded only a year following her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus.

Brandi, aged 38, expressed during their joint appearance on the July 15th episode of Harry Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast, “I did mention that you were moving rather quickly towards marriage.” She continued, “It made me uneasy. I thought, ‘We’ve just emerged from one marriage; why are we so eager to enter into another?’

She emphasized again, “That really unsettled me.” What I’m trying to convey is this: When you hurry through things, it often means taking a few steps back and dealing with the aspects you overlooked or rushed past.

In the year 2023, Tish tied the knot with the actor famous for “Prison Break”. This wedding took place sixteen months following her divorce from the well-known singer who had “Achy Breaky Heart”, a union that lasted for twenty-eight years.

Initially, Brandi felt hesitant, but Tish received swift encouragement from her middle child, Miley Cyrus, who is 32 years old. As Tish shared, “Miley was extremely supportive.

Tish, who is a mother to Trace Cyrus (age 36), Braison Cyrus (age 31), and Noah Cyrus (age 25) with Billy Ray, openly acknowledged that her romantic experiences have been somewhat restricted as she didn’t explore many relationships after a short period.

She shared with Harry that she hasn’t had many opportunities to go on dates because she got married at 24, stayed in that relationship for an extended period, went through a divorce, and then quickly remarried. In essence, her only real dating experience was this one fantastic date.

And when asked what made her decide to pursue Dominic, Tish quipped, “He was so hot.”

Certainly!

To put it simply, Tish has no qualms about expressing her affection for her husband Dominic. In turn, Dominic is equally open about his feelings of love towards her.

On his June 22 Instagram post, the actor from Legends of Tomorrow stated, ‘The one person on Earth whom I trust completely and who always has my back is the only person I know. It’s a rare thing indeed. She’s my ride-or-die.’ He added, ‘I don’t usually get sentimental… But, well, I love her. My wife is a gentle, kind soul. Once upon a time, I was a dangerous and reckless man, but she changed that. (Although, I still keep my danger for when it’s absolutely necessary, haha).’

He went on to say, ‘She adores me, and that’s just fantastic! I feel like the most fortunate person alive. I must admit, I consider myself lucky. You’re stunning.’ @tishcyruspurcell

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

At that point in time, they were already co-parenting a 12-month-old child named Destiny Hope Cyrus (later known as Miley Cyrus), while Tish was expecting their son Braison Cyrus, born on the 9th of May, 1994.

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

When Billy Ray Cyrus tied the knot with Tish, he welcomed Brandi Cyrus (born on May 26, 1987) and Trace Cyrus (Feb. 24, 1989), who were previously born to Tish from her previous marriage with Baxter Helson, into his family.

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

Between 2006 and 2010, Billy Ray portrayed the father of Miley’s character who was both an ordinary kid and a pop star on the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana” and in a movie adaptation made in 2009.

Before they were settled in Nashville, Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus decided to relocate to Los Angeles to kick-off Miley’s career in entertainment.

In October 2010, Billy Ray and Tish announced their decision to part ways through divorce, but a year later, they reconciled once more.

In June 2013, they initiated divorce proceedings once more, but just a few weeks later, they changed their minds. They shared with TopMob News that they had attended couples therapy which significantly improved their relationship at that time.

Prior to their reconciliation, upon hearing the news that her father filed for divorce in a Nashville court after 19 years of marriage, Miley posted on Twitter, “Since your texts and emails seem to be failing, would you prefer to discuss things this way?

Following their joint appearance 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. This was shortly after their Malibu residence had been devastated by fire.

The decision was made, as she reflected, from a background of trauma and an urgent desire to rebuild swiftly.

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

According to our source, it was really quite straightforward. They fell in love as youngsters, but they’ve both evolved since then into unique individuals.

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 plea based on “unresolvable disagreements” mentioned that she and her spouse, who had been married for nearly three decades, hadn’t resided together since February 2020.

After thirty years, five wonderful children, and a lifetime full of cherished memories, Tish and Billy Ray have chosen to follow separate journeys – not out of sadness, but with love in their hearts. They’ve grown together, built a family we can all be proud of, and now it’s time for each of them to carve out their unique paths.

They mentioned that their choice to part ways permanently wasn’t made casually or hastily. However, they emphasized that they would forever remain family, looking forward to a future filled with friendship and parenthood experiences that are full of love.

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

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that, having been nurtured down under in Australia, my passion for music has always stood out supremely among all other interests. For as long as I can remember, his melodies have been an integral part of my life.

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

Unexpectedly, the life I’d taken for granted as a touring artist ceased to be, Billy Ray explained. It was a time of immense change. Moreover, Firerose, who had been a beacon of positivity, my closest friend. And then, as we started creating music together, it morphed into an even deeper bond, from musical soulmates to simply soulmates, a love that felt so pure and unadulterated. To me, I hadn’t known such love could exist.

In the very same month that my ex-spouse announced his engagement last November of 2022, I stepped into an official relationship with the talented actor, Dominic Purcell, famously known for his role in “Prison Break.

In April 2023, they became engaged, and they exchanged wedding vows in August of the same year, at a sunset ceremony in Malibu. Their friends Miley, Trace, and Brandi were present, supporting them alongside their mother.

Life’s flow is ever-changing and unforeseeable, as evidenced by this picture of myself, my siblings, and the bride. I firmly believe that it’s crucial to appreciate our past, anticipate the future, and find joy in each present moment because that’s all we truly possess.

Expressing myself, I shared with Vogue that witnessing my mother in such a state of happiness and filled with love is deeply emotional for me. Dom and my mother have a heartwarmingly genuine love, one that seems fresh and new – perfectly suited to my mother, whose spirit remains as youthful as ever.

Regarding her father’s upcoming life phase, it was reported by TopMob News in October 2022, that according to a reliable source, Miley herself isn’t fond of the idea and doesn’t maintain a bond with her potential stepmother who will be part of his future life.

The separation of her parents has made it difficult for her to bond with her father over the past year, according to the source, but she holds out hope that they can mend their relationship in time.

Billy Ray communicated to People magazine that despite his recent engagement, there are no lingering negative emotions within his family.

He remarked, “Each person is moving forward,” implying that although it had been challenging, everyone understood it was necessary to make a shift and start anew.

On October 10, 2023, he and Firerose exchanged their vows, referring to it as a “wonderful, jubilant day when our two souls became one in the sacred bond of marriage.

It seems that the disagreement or distance between Miley and her father had not been resolved by the time of the 2024 Grammys, which took place on February 4.

Tish, Brandi, and Miley’s boyfriend, Maxx Morando, were all present. When Miley Cyrus (the “Flowers” singer) was awarded Record of the Year, they all received acknowledgments.

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

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but ponder about the intriguing rumors surrounding Noah and Dominic. Officially, neither has confirmed nor denied these eyebrow-raising reports from 2024. However, when an Instagram commenter dared to insinuate that both Noah and her mother had shared “quality time” with the actor, Grammy-nominated singer Noah responded with a fiery rebuke in April of that year.

In a regrettable manner, Noah replied, “Could you possibly swallow the largest swallow, if you don’t mind? Just for a moment. I truly appreciate it.

Just eight months into their marriage, Billy Ray petitioned for an annulment, claiming in legal papers that the marriage was secured through deceit.

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 sentiments to TopMob News, stating, “This is undoubtedly the wildest, most outrageous fraud I’ve encountered. To make matters worse, I find myself squarely in its crosshairs and the focus of the scam. It’s regrettable that it unfolded this way.

In a January 22, 2025 Instagram post addressed to his father, Trace wrote, “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 best moment of my life. Regrettably, the person I yearned so deeply to be like seems almost unrecognizable to me now.

Instead of saying, “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away,” you could rephrase it as: “For years now, my sisters and I have felt genuinely concerned about your well-being, yet we’ve all found ourselves distanced from you.” This version maintains the same meaning while sounding more natural and easy to read.

Noah was especially hurt, according to Trace.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve longed for years to be a part of her life, and yet here I am, left in the shadows. That’s my little girl – she deserves so much more than this indifference. Somehow, just like me, she still holds you in high regard, despite everything. We all cling to memories of the person we once knew, hoping for the day when he will return.

On January 26, 2025, the country music star expressed concern about his family, particularly his children – Miley, Brandi, Noah, and Trace – in a YouTube Shorts post. He wrote in the caption, “Sending prayers to my loved ones, my kids, both sons and daughters, and their mother.

In March 2025, it appeared that Billy Ray’s relationship with his children was on the mend when he posted a heartfelt message acknowledging Miley and Noah’s recent musical achievements.

He expressed on Instagram that these ladies have raised their craft to unprecedented heights. His words were, ‘Congratulations girls!’ He’s incredibly proud of both of them and tears are streaming down his face while he writes this message. He added that he’s grateful God can’t see him crying.

In May 2025, Billy Ray posted a picture featuring himself, Miley, her boyfriend Maxx Morando, and his son Braison Cyrus, which seems to be taken at Billy Ray’s farm in Tennessee. He titled the Instagram post as “Happy Birthday Braison!!!!!”.

A day after, Miley addressed the speculations regarding the family feud, acknowledging on Instagram that she and her father have faced difficulties throughout the years.

Miley went on to say, “Currently, I value my family more than anything else as I enter my thirties. I find comfort in the fact that relationships have improved and time has helped heal past wounds. I’m thankful for our good health and the abundant love we share within our family.
