Early Life
Tish Cyrus was born on May 13, 1967 in Nashville, Tennessee, as Leticia Jean Finley. Her father’s name is Glenmore Finley, and her mother, Loretta Jean Palmer. Although much of her early life is kept hidden, we do know she attended Utah State University. Tish is 5ft 6 inch tall with blue eyes and blonde hair.
Personal life
Before her present husband, Tish married her high school love, Baxter Neal, at the age of 19. They had two kids together, Brandi and Trace Baxter Helson (who Billy later adopted) before their separation in the early nineties. The old saying ‘every disappointment is a blessing’ proved true in Tish’s life as she met Billy Ray, who at that time was an unknown musician in a night club she frequented. The two got married in the living room of their Franklin, Tennessee home, even after Ray’s managers advised him against it on December 28, 1993. Since she’s known with the legendary Billy Cyrus, let’s meet him, shall we?
Before Tish, Billy was married to Cindy Smith for five years (1986-1991). She even co-wrote some of his songs like ‘Wher’m I Gonna Live?’, and ‘Some Gave All’ which featured in his 1992 album. After their separation, the legend had a fling with a waitress in South Carolina named Kristin Luckey. It was after her he met the future Mrs. Cyrus. Guess what? Tish and Kristen were pregnant at the same time. Tish with baby Miley (christened Destiny Hope) and Kristen with Christopher Cody. However, Ray’s undivided attention was on Miley’s mum but his financial support with Kristen and her child based in South Carolina. Tish and her husband later welcomed one more child together, their youngest daughter Noah Cyrus in 2000.
Brandi Cyrus is a Denver-based DJ and co-hosts a podcast titled Your Favourite Thing with Wells Adams. Her brother Trace was born on February 24, 1989, is a musician, formerly a member of the Metro Station band.

Her brother Braison Chance is a model and singer who currently stays in Nashville. He was born on May 9, 1994. In November 2018, he got engaged to his girlfriend, Stella McBride. His debut single is titled I’ll Never Leave You.
Noah, on the other hand, was born on January 8, 2000. She also released her debut song, Make Me Cry, in 2015. She usually goes public with her struggles through depression and anxiety. Their half-brother Christopher Cody who revealed in an interview that he rarely heard from Billy and felt excluded from the family was born in April 1992 to Kristen and Billy Ray.
No marriage is ever that easy, and this couple has had their fair share of past roubles. On the 26th of October 2010, Billy Ray filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ announcing that they were trying to work out personal matters.
However, on March 18, 2011, Billy announced that they had dropped the divorce. On June 13, 2013, Tish filed the same after 19 years of marriage but in July reported that they had gone through couple therapy and revived their relationship. Tish said, ‘We’ve had rough times, but we both realized we didn’t want to be another statistic and wanted to make it work’. These two are definitely a great couple.
