Noah Cyrus finally breaks silence on long-standing family feud rumors
Noah Cyrus, Grammy-nominated singer and sister of fellow star Miley Cyrus, has opened up about rumors of a feud within her family after speculation started following the divorce of her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus.
Billy Ray and Tish decided to go their separate ways in 2022, after which Billy Ray entered another brief marriage with the singer Firerose, while Tish went on to marry Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell.
Following their split, rumors emerged that there was a rift between the family, fuelled when fans noticed that Miley appeared to be missing from Billy Ray's wedding with Firerose, despite being in attendance at Tish's marriage to Purcell.
Miley also failed to mention her father in her 2024 Grammy acceptance speech, though she did thank her mom, her sister Brandi and her boyfriend Maxx Morando.

Miley's sister Noah has now addressed all the speculation surrounding her famous family, though she admitted to People she does her best to stay out of it.
“I keep myself quite separated from any interest or ‘drama’ with the family," she explained. "The one thing that's connected us with the entire world is music, and that's what's the most important to us.
"Yeah, it emotionally is draining, but it doesn't hurt us or touch us. It's something that you really learn to keep separate and far away from yourself.”
Noah went on to assure that the family is in a good place, saying that 'everybody's great and loves each other'.
Stressing that despite being in the spotlight, they're still a family unit, she continued: "I think when you grow up with that being normal — things being public — that it doesn't quite reach you. At the end of the day, this is a family, and that's really it: just going through normal family stuff.”
Noah's latest album, titled 'I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me', features references to her family, with one lyric in particular reading: “The words that were spoken / Mean nothing to me.”
“I think that really sums up a relationship with a sibling," she said. "There's so many times, especially in my relationship with my siblings growing up, you fight and you say things — but that's your family, and they're always going to be there for you, and I'm lucky enough to say that that's been my case with me and my siblings and my family.”
Elsewhere in the album, Noah has featured a sample of a hymn written by her great-grandfather and sung by her paternal grandfather, while another track is the first song her dad Billy Ray ever wrote.
“It really was beautiful to have that bloodline [running] through the record,” Noah said.
