Noah Cyrus, the Grammy-nominated artist and younger sister of Miley Cyrus, has addressed years of speculation about a so-called family feud. Rumors escalated after her parents ended their long marriage, announcing their divorce in 2022. Shortly afterward, Billy Ray married singer Firerose in a brief union, while Tish found happiness with actor Dominic Purcell, known for Prison Break.
Those changes fueled talk of division, especially when Miley skipped Billy Ray’s wedding to Firerose but attended Tish’s ceremony with Purcell. The buzz grew louder in 2024 when Miley, accepting her Grammy, left her father out of her thank-you speech while crediting her mom Tish, her sister Brandi, and her boyfriend Maxx Morando.
Amid the speculation, Noah has finally spoken out. In a conversation with People, she shared that she avoids getting involved in family drama.
“I keep myself quite separated from any interest or ‘drama’ with the family,” she explained. “The one thing that’s connected us with the entire world is music, and that’s what’s the most important to us.”
She acknowledged the emotional toll of rumors but insisted they don’t affect the family’s bond:
“Yeah, it emotionally is draining, but it doesn’t hurt us or touch us. It’s something that you really learn to keep separate and far away from yourself.”
Reassuring fans, Noah made it clear that things are positive behind the scenes: “everybody’s great and loves each other.” She added that despite public perception, they are still just a family navigating normal ups and downs.
“I think when you grow up with that being normal — things being public — that it doesn’t quite reach you. At the end of the day, this is a family, and that’s really it: just going through normal family stuff.”
Her new album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me, reflects those themes of connection and legacy. One lyric reads, “The words that were spoken / Mean nothing to me,” which she says captures the essence of sibling relationships — arguments may happen, but love remains.
The record also carries deep family ties: one track samples a hymn written by her great-grandfather and performed by her grandfather, while another features the first song ever penned by her father, Billy Ray.
“It really was beautiful to have that bloodline [running] through the record,” Noah said, describing how special it felt to weave her family’s musical history into her work.
