Tish Cyrus files for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus again (2024)

Don’t tell his heart, his achy breaky heart.

Miley Cyrus’ parents are headed for divorce a third time — nearly five years after they called off the second one, Page Six can confirm.

Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus in Tennessee on April 6 after 29 years of marriage and five kids, according to court records obtained by Page Six on Monday.

The actress and producer, 54, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and claimed she has not lived with the country crooner, 60, since February 2020, per the documents.

Tish asked the court to make an “equitable distribution” of their assets and that a “fair and proper allocation” be made of their marital debts.

She also wants to be awarded her own separate property.

“It is after thirty years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways – not with sadness, but with love in our hearts. We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths,” the pair said in a statement to People.

“We will always be family and look forward to a continued and loving shared experience as friends and parents. We have not come to this decision lightly or quickly but with so much going on in the world, we wanted to provide some clarity and closure, so we can remain focused on what is important.”

A rep for Tish declined to comment, and reps for Billy Ray did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

Billy Ray was first to ever file for divorce in the fall of 2010, but he withdrew the petition a few months later, saying he wanted to work on the marriage. Amid the split, there was a rumor claiming Tish had hooked up with Poison rocker Bret Michaels.

However, Michaels’ rep denied the affair at the time, saying, “This is someone stirring a pot. This is untrue. He respects the family and worked with Miley and Tish on a professional level.”

Then in 2013, Tish was the one who filed, but the longtime couple reconciled just 10 days later.

“We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together,” the pair said in a joint statement to People at the time.

“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.”

In 2017, the divorce was canceled due to four years of inactivity in the courts.

In addition to 29-year-old Miley, Tish and Billy Ray share four adult kids: Brandi, 34, Trace, 33, Braison, 27, and Noah, 22.

Billy Ray also shares son Christopher, 30, with ex-girlfriend Kristin Luckey. He was previously married to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991.
