Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex-wife, Tish, has broken her silence after it was revealed that the Achy Breaky Heart star is dating Liz Hurley. The unlikely couple sent the showbiz world into meltdown when model, Liz, shared a snap of them kissing on Instagram – tagged with a love heart – on Easter Sunday.
Famous friends and fans of the couple quickly rushed to the comments section to congratulate Liz, 59, and Billy, 63, on their romance. Unsurprisingly, Tish, 57, who divorced the country star in 2022, was not among them – but she has taken to social media since the sizzling snap was posted.
Taking to her Instagram page, she simply shared a clip – strewn with love hearts – of the daughter she shares with Billy, Noah, out in a sun-soaked garden, popping a golden Easter egg into a blue felt bag.
Mum-of-five Tish and Billy Ray officially divorced in April 2022 and share daughters Miley, 32, and Noah, 25, and son Braison, 30. Billy Ray also adopted Tish’s daughter Brandi, 37, and son Trace, 36, from her previous marriage.
Tish is now married to Prison Break star, actor Dominic Purcell – who briefly dated Noah – in an ceremony in Malibu in August 2023 with superstar, Miley, as her maid of honour.
Daughter Noah and son Braison were notably absent from the nuptials, sparking speculation of a feud at the time. Billy Ray reportedly also has a strained relationship with his kids – with Trace Cyrus posting an open letter to his dad earlier this year to say the family were “genuinely worried” about him.
Claiming the Did I Forget to Pray? star had pushed his kids away, Trace wrote: “Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever.
“I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.
“Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you. You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point. Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.
He added: “Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though.”
Billy’s kids are yet to comment on his new relationship with Liz. However, the actress’ son Damian has. He appears to have given his seal of approval to the union as he replied to the snap of his mum and her new man with a celebration and a heart emoji.
