Tish Cyrus,54, has filed for divorce from her husband, Billy Ray Cyrus,60, to end almost 30 years of marriage.
Twenty years into their marriage, Tish Cyrus filed for divorce in 2013 but the couple did not finalize the process and patched up their differences.
Before that, Billy Ray also filed for divorce in 2010 but later withdrew the petition a few months and the couple reconciled, saying;
“We both went into couples therapy something we haven’t done in 22 years of being together, and its brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways,” the statement said at the time. “Tish also said marriage can be really hard especially after 22 years of being in entertainment. We’ve had rough times but we both realized we didn’t want to be another statistic and wanted to make it work.”
