Tish Cyrus on Divorce: "I Was Devastated"

Tish Cyrus, mother to pop star Miley Cyrus, recently revealed the profound impact of her 2022 divorce from country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. After 29 years of marriage, Tish described the split as "devastating" and a state of "shock mode," admitting to being "stoned" during the process.

Cyrus, 58, shared on the Dear Chelsea podcast that the end of her long marriage was difficult to accept, as divorce was never something she anticipated. She emphasized the challenge of detaching from the "fantasy" of how things could have been, urging focus on current reality to move forward.

Following her divorce, Tish found new love with actor Dominic Purcell. The couple tied the knot in August 2023. Tish expressed that Purcell provides her with unconditional love and comfort, making her feel like she finally has a true partner, a stark contrast to her previous experience of handling everything herself.

Meanwhile, Billy Ray Cyrus also remarried fellow country singer Firerose in October 2023, but their union concluded with a divorce settlement in August 2024, just months after their nuptials.
