After months of family drama, Noah Cyrus joined Tish Cyrus for a podcast interview — and got candid about her love life.
“I always wanted to get married, like, every relationship I’ve had I’ve thought about marrying them,” Noah, 23, said on the Thursday, April 17, episode of Tish’s “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast. “My explanation was always, ‘Well, my mom had her first kid by the time she was 21.’ I don’t think of that as, like, an ‘oopsie age.’ I think of that was, ‘Well, I’ve been working since I was 15. Why couldn’t I have a child when I’m in my early 20s or why couldn’t I get married in my early 20s?’ That was something I really wanted.”
Noah is the youngest child of exes Tish, 57, and Billy Ray Cyrus. The pair, who were married from 1993 to 2022, also share daughter Miley, 32, and son Braison, 30. Billy Ray, 63, also adopted Tish’s two eldest kids, Brandi and Trace, from a past relationship.
“My life changed so much,” Tish recalled on Thursday’s podcast, when Noah filled in for Brandi, 37, as cohost. “I did nothing but [raise] kids for my entire life. It was so crazy, and then to have you guys all out of the house and you’re so independent now. It’s just so weird.”
According to Tish, she’s now trying to “figure out who [she is] and what [her] dreams are” outside of motherhood.
“[I have to figure out] what I’m going to do with life,” Tish, who married actor Dominic Purcell in 2023, added. “The only thing I ever did was be a mom. It’s so crazy.”
Noah, however, stressed that she and her siblings still rely on Tish every day.
“We still need our mommy so bad,” Noah quipped. “Whenever I’m down or whenever [my siblings] are down, we call my mom or she calls us. How many times a week do you answer the phone and I’m crying? A lot, like, and she’ll answer, ‘What’s wrong?’ But, now we always call her through anything.”
Tish is also already acting as a mother figure to Noah’s fiancé, Pinkus. (The couple got engaged in June 2023.)
“It’s really cute because my fiancé and my mom are really close,” Noah gushed on the podcast. “I love that so much because my past boyfriends, my mom has not been close with. Well, my first one you tried to be and then the rest were just, like, [a] plane crash. We got through it, and now I’m with a nice, little German man.”
Noah and Tish’s relationship, however, allegedly faltered after the music manager started dating Purcell, 55, in 2022. Us Weekly broke the news in March 2024 that Noah had been romantically involved with Purcell for several months when Tish started pursuing him. Noah later did not attend Tish and Purcell’s August 2023 wedding.
While neither Noah, Tish nor Purcell have publicly addressed the apparent drama, a source told Us Weekly that the mother-daughter duo are mending their fractured relationship.
“Noah and Tish are working on rebuilding their relationship,” a source exclusively told Us in August 2024. “It’s been a slow burn and has been very up and down the last several months, but Noah has been more open to the idea of having Tish in her life again.”
