One of the most upsetting stories of the week is absolutely the Noah Cyrus-Tish Cyrus mess. Noah is Tish’s 24-year-old daughter. Noah apparently had some kind of friends-with-benefits situation with Dominic Purcell circa 2022, and Purcell moved from Noah to Tish. Tish and Dominic got married last August and, at the time, there was some minor drama within the Cyrus family. Several of the Cyrus kids, including Noah, did not attend the wedding. We didn’t know what the drama was all about at the time and now we know: Noah and her new stepfather used to have sexual relations. A whole-ass tacky mess. Well, Miley Cyrus has always been one of her mom’s biggest supporters, but apparently this Noah-Dominic situation was news to her.
Miley Cyrus was unaware of any alleged “drama” surrounding her sister Noah Cyrus, mother Tish Cyrus and her mom’s new husband Dominic Purcell, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“Miley had no idea about the drama with Dominic. No idea at all,” the insider says of the “Flowers” singer, 31, after a source revealed earlier this week that Noah, 24, and Purcell, 54, had been seeing each other before his marriage to Tish, 56.
“She confronted her mom about it. She thinks it’s a strange situation, but she loves her mom and wants her to be happy,” the insider adds.
Representatives for Miley, Tish, Noah and Purcell did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday. A rep for Noah previously had no comment this week regarding the alleged relationship between her and Purcell. Earlier this week, a source told PEOPLE that the younger Cyrus sister “was offended” over her mom’s relationship with the Prison Break star.
The insider claimed that Noah and Purcell had previously hooked up and stopped seeing each other before the actor and Tish had pursued their own relationship.
“Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends with benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other and then Tish started something up,” the source said, adding that “Tish knew he had been seeing Noah.”
“Tish never gave Noah the chance to talk about all of this before they got married,” the insider also noted.
I sort of believe that Miley was unaware, just as I believe that Tish was aware of Noah’s thing with Dominic. Honestly, Tish and Dominic happened so quickly, it would not surprise me at all if the entire Cyrus clan (except Noah) was largely unaware of Dominic’s romantic history. Miley had probably only spent a short amount of time with him before he married Tish. This whole thing is just… ugh.
Meanwhile, did you know that Tish has a podcast called Sorry We’re Stoned? She recently chatted with Wiz Khalifa about how she wishes that she was smoking weed when her kids were growing up. She thinks she would have been a more relaxed parent. I don’t know, marrying your daughter’s former lover is a different kind of relaxed.

As a 90s kid who grew up Jerry Springer – say what…. This is so trashy. But, he effing knew. Why are we not mentioning HIS role in this? But, this reminds me of that tik tok going around where a mom and daughter celebrating divorcing their stepdad, i.e. the same man/ex-husband. Details may be fuzzy cause I’m old, but IYKYK.
This is crazy. Dominic is trash and yes this american love story belongs on jerry springer.
Yes, I’ve been wondering why no one mentions his role on this.
He seems like your standard ick for pursuing a woman Noah’s age but a mom doing this to her daughter who is clearly not cool with the situation is what makes it extra messy.
It’s like he swooped in and since he couldn’t have one, hurried up and married the other.
R.I.P. Jerry Springer, because this one is a doozy. Tish is her “mother” she bears the responsibility of her child’s well being, no matter what. Domenic, never heard of him until the wedding. Concerning Noah, he’s the man the Outfield had in mind when they wrote the song “Your love” – Tish knowing this and marries this gross man child? She puts the see you next Tuesday in “country” if you know what i mean.
That is actually disgusting.
Yeah I feel like there’s a lot of talk about the family drama, but if true, that dude is nasty.
Miley and Tish’s relationship has creeped me out for a long time.
I feel really sad that Miley seemingly doesn’t have a relationship with her siblings? How could you not be aware from any of your family members why multiple people refused to attend the family wedding you were participating in?? I think I probably just have no comprehension of their lifestyle honestly.
ETA: and it is crazy to me that Billy Ray comes off as the classy one here LOL. We all thought he did something that caused the family fracture and the whole time it was Tish and he hasn’t said anything.
In 2008, there was a Vanity Fair photoshoot of Miley and Billy Ray where some of the poses were more like you would do with a lover than with a parent. The whole family is creepy.
I just assumed Miley has such a busy career and is busy dealing with the tabloids about her own life she wouldn’t necessarily be aware of what was going on in her family. I could see someone mentally checking out on some issues if your life is as big as Miley’s. To be fair, I don’t think I’d really want to know after reading this. Ignorance is bliss.
If she did know do you think she would admit that?
this and there might be several other issues in this family.
Could be that she just assumed it was something else.
If she knew, I don’t know if she’d admit it. I could just see it being a possibility that she might not have known. If the family is as strange as it really is, I could also see why she’d distance herself a bit from them. All of her rebellious phases are starting to make sense now — her parents are nuts. Despite her out-there personality, she — at present — appears to be the most normal.
I think I’ll amend what I previously said now that I realize the wedding took place in August 2023.
I think it’s now possible Miley did learn about this relationship at some point. And, yeah, I think she’d deny, deny, deny. To the public who lead more normal lives, this story would definitely look strange. So the wise thing to do is to deny like your life depends on it haha.
If she chose the mother’s side over that of the sister, I assume her feelings for the mother are stronger (this seems understandable). I’m glad I’ve never been faced with this dilemma haha.
It was described as a FWB relationship and there wasn’t any real media coverage of it, probably because they’re not super-famous, it was on the DL, and probably didn’t last long.
I don’t know about you guys but my family does not know about every single casual fling I’ve had with a guy. I would only bother letting them know if I thought it had the potential to get serious.
Isn’t Billy now married to someone he groomed as a teen? Pretty sure he doesn’t come off as good either.
It also doesn’t surprise me that Miley and Noah don’t have a good relationship. It’s probably similar to the Britney/Jamie Lynn situation of jealousy, resentment and being played against each other.
NOPE. I had a rule when I was younger that I wouldn’t date someone my sister had dated (because….eww). Couldn’t imagine that needing to extend to my mom. 🤮
My sister and I are only two years apart, look similar, have similar mannerisms, and lived in a small area. We would cross reference our matches because we both thought it would be icky to go into without knowing if anything had gone on.
I have some understanding of this, as my mother had an affair with a man my grandmother – her own mother – was casually dating. He was also very close friends with my father, so that was an added wrinkle. The whole thing blew up following my little brother’s fourth birthday party (I was twenty-one at the time).
Yeah, it was a mess. Needless to say, I’m Team Noah (despite never having heard a single one of her songs or knowing anything about her other than her name).
ETA: Oh! I can’t believe I forgot: my mother then started dating ANOTHER of my grandmother’s exes about two months after my father passed away. And she’s basically spent the last fifteen years trying to get my (male) best friend into bed . . . narcissistic parents are SO MUCH fun.
The Greatest Love Story (we wish we’d) Never (been) Told.
hahaha!
Interesting that Miley Cyrus wanted that out there. Saying that she was totally unaware of Noah’s love life before this guy got together with her mom also says a lot about her lack of relationship with her sister (from well (about two years?) before her mom got married). This is years later that Miley is finding out, as well! Why is this exploding now, does anyone know? What a messed-up family!
In the write-up, it seems to be mentioned (although maybe I’m mis-understanding) that the mom didn’t know about his relationship with the daughter. If it’s true that she didn’t know, I think it makes sense Miley wouldn’t know either.
(I’m not sure if the mom is telling the truth though. I think I read that the guy slid into her DMs. I’m wondering if it would occur to her to ask him if he had dated her daughter. That’s not the usual first question you’d ask of a prospective suitor. My mind is all over the place on this one.
I am sure the mom learned at least after going public with the relationship. Noah would certainly inform her that he was her ex. Obviously, she decided it wasn’t a reason for break up and married the guy. Noah didn’t go to the wedding and one of the siblings who was supportive of their mother also didn’t attend, instead spend the day with Noah.
Noah made this public via US Weekly, right? In any case, she updated there: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/tish-cyrus-is-on-the-outs-with-noah-cyrus-over-dominic-purcell-drama/
This very clearly says the Noah and her mom stopped talking due to the relationship with Dominic. (Btw, Tish’s side of the story was published by the Daily Fail of all places.) So Miley’s mother definitely knew why Miley’s sister was upset. I think it’s bizarre that Miley remained unaware of what was going on.
You misunderstood. It’s states she DID know.
“Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends with benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other and then Tish started something up,” the source said, adding that “Tish knew he had been seeing Noah.”
Her mom and Dominic are just trash ass people.
When you innocently open up your morning gossip column to see what’s happening, get a serving of TMI with your coffee and realize, once again, that there are things you never need to be made aware of…..
{slips quietly away from Cyrus family drama to see what’s happening elsewhere….}
He didn’t think this was something worth mentioning to his new partner????
Scumbag.
Exactly!! Disgusting man.
The headline makes it seem as if Noah had a fling after Dominic married her mother, which is a totally different ball of wax. I am almost always willing to cut mothers some slack, but Tish is a sorry excuse for a mother. Gross.
I know, I was expecting this to be even worse. This almost seems ok by comparison!
Tish is the one coming across the ickiest here. And this guy is no prize.
There is no way Noah did not mention that she had hooked up with her mom’s soon-to-be new husband before the marriage happened.
Tish has the whole globe to scour to find someone else. She STILL chose this dude, who hooked up with her daughter, which also means he pursues women in their early 20’s. Sounds like a great choice.
I agree. I, also, think Miley knew. Noah doesn’t strike strike me as the type to keep silent, and her posting that picture, letting everyone know she wasn’t at her mother’s wedding, proves that.
Tish strike me as the why can’t you just be happy for me type and choosing a man over her daughter. I can see Miley and the other kids going along with that and shunning Noah and also Braison for not doing the same.
Tish said that Dominic slid into her DMs in 2016 when I guess she and Billy Ray were separated or having problems, so did he start dating Noah as a substitute, and then when Tish finally became available, he dumped Noah? Either way, it’s gross.
Omg, this is so weird haha. A substitute? Yikes. Though this theory makes sense. Ew.
My mind cannot comprehend wanting someone this badly.
He’s like Littlefinger from GoT. Ew
I guess I’m the lone one that is meh on this. All consenting adults. Tish knew and was fine with dating him. So this news isn’t a shock to her. Dominic obviously knew and probably shared with his wife, so the reveal, while side-eye ridiculous, isn’t really going to hurt him. So why did Noah release this info now? Timing is always curious, but it points to hurting Miley with the news when she’s happy about her Grammy. Kick her in the gut when she’s prancing around with the best mother ever!
The Cyrus kids are messed up. The Cyrus adults are too. Neither parent looks good. I’m not giving Billy Ray and his dyed hair and younger than Noah wife a pass. Get some counseling!
If the info was released by Noah, I would assume she’s trying to hurt the mother rather than Miley. Maybe Miley is collateral damage but I don’t think she’d be the main target. And to be honest, I don’t blame her if she was trying to hurt the mother. The expectation of privacy and dignity sort of goes out the window when your mom starts dating your ex-boyfriend!
All of these people are famous on some level (even the mother, for some reason). I could see the tabloids finding out this information without much help from anyone.
Not her boyfriend. Her hookup. And if the tabs cared, they would have run this at their wedding. It’s Noah. She’s mad, but she’s been mad so why now?
Whatever he was to her, it still sounds off for the mom to get involved with him. It’s not the usual every-day scenario to read about. Everyone is consenting, but it’s still got a bit of shock value.
I now realize they married in August 2023. For some reason I thought they got married last weekend haha. So I could see it as a possibility that Noah leaked it to hurt Miley. At the same time, I wonder how the family could hide it for so long. It’s definitely an odd dynamic. I don’t really blame Noah for being mad though. Even if it was a hookup (which might be considered lesser than being a boyfriend), I assume people grow to like the person they’re hooking up. Seems inevitable if you’re …um…in the same bed.
I bet holidays are a lot of fun with this crew.
In a few years, he might leave the mother for another 20-something.
few years? You’re being very generous! I’m going to bet he’s already sliding in to some other 20 yr old’s dm’s for hook ups
How? Did Miley not ask her sister why she skipped out on their mom’s wedding?
Tish always seemed like the “cool pick me mom” which isn’t very healthy. Like she always gave off vibes that she wanted to be the big sister and clearly favoured her most famous child.
There is something about this that is so off. I can’t imagine jeopardizing a relationship with my kids over some guy who, sorry to be cynical, you’ll probably end up divorcing anyway. But even if it’s a once in a lifetime match or something – your kids aren’t? Wtf
I would like to know where this story came from? Not saying it couldn’t have happened. With the Cyrus family anything’s possible. But it seems to me the only time Noah is ever mentioned in the papers is when it’s about a scandal. And Miley just won a grammy. So everybodies paying attention to her. And Noah always seems to resent that.
Except this had nothing to do with Miley. Comments like yours seem to make this about Miley when it’s clearly not.
I really don’t like the mothers and daughters being more like “sisters” relationships. My mother was one of those. Always in competition with me and would say things like “we’re more like sisters” when really what I needed was a mother not a friend. I have a daughter and I will never treat her that way. Of course I am her friend and she can and does tell me everything but I am very much always her mother first. Children need guidance, protection, structure.
Absolutely. My daughter who is barely in her teens told me once it’s never a good thing if your mom says she’s your best friend. Parents are there to set boundaries but often in hwood families that unfortunately isn’t the case.
I have sons, not daughters, and I am very close to them. We talk about all sorts of things. But when they need something from me? Yeah, I’m mom; not a friend. Kids need that.
This whole situation is disgusting. I blame the guy and Tish. Noah clearly has issues.
I think I mentioned this on a previous Miley/Tish post but as a teenager I remember my mother telling me I’m your mum, not your friend. She had some mental health issues that were challenging but I always appreciated her attitude to our relationship for many of the reasons described here!
This whole thing is ringing some bells for me. I swear I saw some photos of Noah Cyrus and Dominic Purcell in the Daily Fail or something…ages ago. They were at the beach, maybe? (I really liked Noah’s music at the time so I was paying attention). So when I saw that her mom was with him, I remember thinking weird, how does that work. Never thought of it again until this story broke and I definitely think it’s all true.
This is not the point, but girl – you blew up your relationship with your daughter over that dried up looking unwashed peen?
Do better
This is so barf.
I mean yeah the relationship seems really effed up and inappropriate but the comments here claiming that Miley definitely knew and implying she has some moral responsibility here are kinda weird too. Like, maybe she did know but who cares? She has a right to claim that she didn’t in order to avoid all the predictable questions from the media that essentially pit her against her mother or her sister. I don’t blame Miley AT ALL for staying out of the way of this mess—she doesn’t have to answer for the unhealthy dynamics of her family.
Also, it doesn’t seem like Miley has always had the perfect relationship with her mom and if she’s found a place where things are smooth and she doesn’t want to rock that boat then I don’t blame her at all.
I don’t think she has a moral responsibility to answer for it. I’m actually surprised she addressed it because I don’t think she had to.
I think the optics of it are simply being discussed because she said she didn’t know. Until Miley mentioned it, I don’t think it would have actually occurred to me to think about whether she knew. Before I saw today’s People story posted her, I probably was just laughing at the mother, because she sounds, well, kind of icky haha. I was too focused on the mother to worry about what Miley knew.
Miley is a bigger star than all of them though. At some point, I figure people would be more interested in discussing her. Still think the mother is weird though. The weirdness of the mother and the nastiness of the guy from Prison Break overrides everyone else in the story, Now I’m wondering what Wentworth Miller’s opinion is…sort of. He knows how to throw shade in a very articulate way.
I’m still trying to figure out how Miley changed much of her face into early Jane Fonda, let alone hillbilly family dynamics.
How on Earth do you marry a guy who used to date and have sex with your very young daughter???? This man is like 34 years older than Noah!
The link up above to the US article says that: “Noah was not invited to the wedding, and Miley even had armed guards posted at the door in case Noah showed up unexpectedly.”
So that puts a different light on it to me…..sounds like Miley did know and made an effort for Noah not to show up and make a scene. I thought my family was weird, this is so over the top!
That dress is awful and not flattering in the least.
Wait so…Tish and DM hook up and within 24 hours are saying I love you?
Thats not love, its love bombing.
Noah speaks up and she’s a liar? Wonder who’s camp leaked that?
Only half of your family wants to come around because of your new spouse? That’s called isolating you from your loved ones.
You know who love bombs, isolates and never takes responsibility?
A narcissist.
Make up with your family because you are gonna need them and buckle up buttercup because the games have only just begun…Girl Run.
I’m wondering why he was interested in Noah in the first place. She’s much younger and her looks aren’t very similar to her mother’s. (I’m a little astonished by Trish’s fairly strong resemblance to Miley though.)
Setting aside the mother-daughter dynamic, it makes more sense to me that he would be interested in Trish because she’s closer to his age and she’s somewhat more conventional looking (ie she’s got eyebrows). So how did he end up with Noah first (even if it was just a hookup)? Was her youth appealing to his ego? I’m trying to fathom why he was interested in someone 30 years younger (it’s obviously not rare, but here the older woman won out over the younger woman, which deviates from all those Lifetime movies I’ve watched). So I’m assuming he could have liked the mother from the beginning.)
The year 2016 keeps popping up in this story. So it seems Trish and Dominic were aware of each other for sone time. Why did he even hook up with the daughter if it was the mother he might have liked all along? I don’t think it’s normal for a man to want to be with both of them. And in most instances , a woman would reject a man who has dated her daughter. Why would he potentially jeopardize his chances with Trish by dating Noah? In the end, it didn’t since Trish isn’t like other mothers, but I’m baffled as to how ended up with the daughter as the first hookup.
Noah’s claims are in line with Dominic’s dating history. He likes them young. He was dating Annalynne McCord when she was 23 ( if I did my math correctly) and he was 40.
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/annalynne-mccord-says-dominic-purcell-helped-her-overcome-trauma/
Does Trish have a lot of money? Did he marry her for it? Still baffled by a guy comfortable with having some sort of relationship with both the daughter and mother. The idea of a mother being able to compare notes with her daughter about what a guy is like is also equally baffling, even when you’re watching General Hospital and Days of Our Lives (i think there was a younger guy involved on the latter show. He might have had the good sense to look disgusted at himself at some point).
They have got to be one of the very freakiest families in the biz. And that is saying a lot.
