Dominic Purcell has slammed 'nonsense' after allegations emerged that he'd had a relationship with Miley Cyrus' younger sister before marrying their mom.
When did Dominic Purcell and Tish Cyrus get married?
Prison Break star Purcell, 54, tied the knot with 56-year-old Tish Cyrus last August, just over a year after Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus announced their separation following 30 years together.

A few months before the wedding, an insider told Us Weekly things 'couldn't be going better' for Tish and Dominic, adding that the mom felt like she had 'found her soulmate'.
Claims about Dominic and Noah Cyrus emerge
Less than a year into Dominic and Tish's marriage, allegations emerged that he had been romantically involved with her daughter, 24-year-old Noah, before he and Tish got together.

An insider made the claims to People, saying: "Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends with benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other and then Tish started something up."
The 24-year-old was notably absent from Dominic and Tish's wedding, though another source told Entertainment Tonight that while the reports about Noah and Dominic's relationship had been 'exaggerated', it had caused a rift between her and her mom.
"Noah and Tish haven't been close since Tish started dating Dominic," they claimed.

"It's also been an adjustment for Noah in general for her parents to be divorced. Tish didn't invite Noah to her wedding because she thought it would cause a scene and drama."
UNILAD approached Noah, Tish, Dominic and Miley’s reps for comment at the time of the initial reports.
Tish admits to issues in the marriage
Tish chose to open up about her relationship on her Sorry We're Stoned podcast, when she described Dominic as quite a 'blunt' person and admitted she will 'take things personally'.

However, she continued: "I just feel like instead now of me getting so offended, because I respect and love him, that we have conversations.
"And instead [of] getting so upset and heated about it, and me not taking it personally, just letting him have an opinion. I’ve never been good at that."
"These are definitely issues," she continued. "But issues also, because I love him, that I’m dealing with."
Dominic dismisses 'nonsense' online
The Prison Break star has avoided directly addressing the claims made about himself and Noah, but he took to Instagram this week to share a cryptic post which seemingly alludes to the allegations.

He posted a photo of himself looking off to the side, alongside a caption which read: "You don’t sign up for nonsense it just follows you. I sit quietly and observe without response nor interest."
Comments appear to have been turned off on the post, and Dominic has not made any further allusions to the rumors in his follow-up posts which show him working out in a boxing gym.
