In the middle of your volatile division of wife Firerose, Billy Ray Cyrus is sending a special message to his youngest daughter, Noah Cyrus.
The 62-year-old singer took to Instagram on Thursday to share a sweet throwback photo of the father-daughter duo, along with some lyrics from his song, “Noah (Stand Still),” which felt particularly meaningful to him at the time. The track was released on Noah’s 2022 debut album, The hardest partand she later recorded a duet version with Billy Ray.
“I’m so proud of this girl. Noah has grown into an amazing young woman. Sometimes you have to take your daughter’s advice and just ‘stand still,'” he captioned the post.
On the second slide, Noah and Billy’s lyrics say: “As you get older it gets harder to change / You might find yourself alone with just your shame / But it’s not over / Everything’s gonna be alright / And when times get tough, remember what I say.”
“My grandfather told my father, ‘It won’t get any easier, just harder / Yes it will, remember, stay still / And when all the hope and joy you feel turns to paranoia / ‘Cause it will, remember, stay still.”
Family-focused lyrics are clearly important to Billy Ray at the moment, as are messages about coping with the tough times in life.
The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer is currently in the midst of a tumultuous divorce from his wife Firerose after just eight months of marriage.
The duo – who first date on the set of Hannah Montanabecame musical collaborators and eventually tied the knot on October 10, 2023 in Franklin, Tennessee – both filed legal documents accusing the other of misconduct during the few months of their marriage.
According to Divorce documents obtained by ET Earlier this month, Billy Ray filed paperwork to formalize their separation on May 23 in Williamson County. He listed the date of separation as May 22 and cited the reason for the dissolution of the marriage as “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct.” In “Grounds for Annulment,” Cyrus noted that “consent to the marriage was obtained by fraud.”
He later filed a request for temporary restraining order against his ex, claiming she had spent nearly $100,000 using her business credit card.
In response to Billy Ray’s divorce filing, Firerose filed his own documents, claiming he was emotionally, psychologically and verbally abusive towards her. She alleged that he “interfered with (her) career in the music industry” and that she was “subjected to (Cyrus’s) persistent drug use accompanied by marijuana consumption, which made him unpredictable and volatile.”
Additionally, she accused Billy Ray of “intentionally inflicting emotional distress through financial abuse” on his ex-wife, and alleges that there was an “intentional delay of her long-planned surgery” — a preventative double mastectomy.
In new documents filed earlier this weekBilly Ray has rejected these allegations, accusing Firerose of abusing him physically, verbally, and emotionally.
“While Plaintiff (Cyrus) acknowledges that he was certainly vocal, frustrated, and angry with Defendant (Firerose) in May 2024, it is (Cyrus) who was, in fact, abused,” the new court documents state. “Not only verbally and emotionally by Defendant, but also physically by Defendant.”
The documents state that Cyrus confronted Firerose about alleged “fraud” and claim Firerose said, “If you even think about divorcing me now, I will tell everyone you did it because of the double mastectomy and your career will be over.”
Meanwhile, Noah was involved in some family drama this year after the 24-year-old GRAMMY nominee was rumored to be in a romantic relationship with the 54-year-old actor. Dominic Purcell before Noah’s mother, Tishmarrying Prison Break star.
Tish and Dominic got married in August 2023 with your daughters, Brandi It is Miley Cyrusnext to them. Not present they were Noah and his brother, Braison Cyrus.
In April, a source told ET that reports about Noah and Purcell were “exaggerated,” but noted that “Noah and Tish have not been close since Tish started dating Dominic.”
“It was also an adjustment for Noah in general, the fact that his parents are divorced,” the source added of Tish and her ex-husband, Billy Ray. “Tish didn’t invite Noah to her wedding because she thought it would cause a scene and drama.”
Neither Tish nor Dominic have publicly addressed the rumors or detailed their current relationship with Noah. However, last month, Noah celebrated her mother’s birthday with several throwback photos on your Instagram story and has made some NSFW responses to social media commenters bringing up the alleged family feud.
