Brandi Cyrus is opening up about the concerns she had when her mother, Tish Cyrus, quickly moved on from her marriage to Billy Ray Cyrus and wed Prison Break star Dominic Purcell.
On the latest episode of the Boyfriend Material podcast, Brandi told her mom she was initially ‘scared’ by how fast things moved. “We just got out of one marriage, why are we jumping into another?” she recalled thinking. Tish and Billy Ray divorced in 2022 after nearly three decades together.
While Brandi, 38, says she did express caution at the time, she ultimately sees that it worked out for the best. “You didn’t listen to me,” she joked, but acknowledged that Tish seems happy with Purcell. Tish, 58, married the actor in August 2023, just over a year after confirming the relationship.
Miley Cyrus was reportedly the most encouraging about her mom’s new relationship, a fact Brandi playfully teased on the show. “I feel like you like taking your own dating advice,” she told Tish.
Despite early hesitation, Brandi was one of three children who attended Tish’s wedding, along with siblings Miley and Trace. Noah Cyrus, who was at odds with Tish at the time, did not attend but has since been working on mending their relationship. “We still need our mommy so bad,” Noah said in an April podcast appearance.
The Cyrus family dynamic has seen its share of shifts, with Billy Ray recently separating from Firerose and stepping out with Elizabeth Hurley. Through it all, Tish appears to have found stability, and support from most of her kids, in her new chapter with Purcell.
