I just learned some pretty shocking news when I turned on my computer tonight! I always get the news whenever I turn on my computer and tonight, I learned that Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife, Tish, are filing for a divorce after 17 years of marriage! As some of you know, I've been a big fan of Billy Ray's since he came out with Achy Breaky Heart in 1992. I'm very sad about this and I hope they can work their problems out. At the same time, I remember how sad I was when I first heard he got married in 1993. I got over it, though. They are citing the reason for their divorce as irreconcilable differences. I wonder who is going to get Miley's money now?

Very cool, lol! I have a picture of myself and Billy Ray on my refrigerator that was made in 1999. He put on a concert in Oakman, Alabama, which is a little community about 15 miles south of here that year.

Yes, it's a possibility that they might have been fighting over the money. He just might be in control since he's her father. I hope she has a trust fund, too. It's all so sad to me because I remember when she was a little girl. I was in Billy Ray's fan club years ago and I went to the fan club picnic in 2000. I got to meet Miley and her half brother, Trace. Miley was just 7 years old at the time and she was so cute! I also got to talk to Billy Ray some.

I just heard about this too and can't believe how many couples seem to be breaking up at this time, David and Courtney to name one. there are others but I can't remember at this time. After 17 years I wonder why and I wonder how Miley feels about it all. No one seems to stay married for the long haul anymore. What a shame!

I can't think who David and Courtney are. Yes, I think it's a shame, too! It happens in the church, too, whether we believe in divorce or not. We really need to get back to bible basics on the subject. Divorce is so prevalent these days! I can remember when you expected the mother's last name to be the same as the child's. Now, there are so many mothers whose last name is different to the child's. I also wonder how Miley and the rest of their children feel about the divorce. Miley said in her autobiography that she wrote in 2009 that her parents were real homebodies. She said that they preferred to spend time at home and with her and her brothers and sisters than to be out partying.

I don't really follow the lives of others, not much of business. I just wanted to say, that if it is Miley's money, and Miley Earned, Miley should get it, and she should share it with Cyrus and I,

I agree with you, CJ. I think she should get it, too, and share it with the rest of us, lol!

When I think about their lives before Miley's huge success, I feel kind of sad. It seemed that when she started getting controversial, her family got pulled in different directions.

I feel kind of sad about it, too, AmbiePam. She was so cute when she was smaller. I used to be in Billy Ray's fan club and I went to the fan club picnic in 2000. That was when the family still lived in Tennessee. I got to meet Miley and her half brother, Trace, there and she was just 7 years old then. I asked her how old she was. That's how I know. I also got to talk to Billy Ray a little bit.

Bless my ignorance....I truly am sorry...BUT, there was so little media about "Tish" that I thought they were already divorced. If true, and she is the "home-body" type, possibly the limelight and media-hype of "Miley's" popularity has created a new strife in their lives. Sadly, tho, that it is insurmountable and ending in the inevitable divorce. Hopefully, Miley has had good financial guidance and her estate will continue to be managed properly. Cheers and HUGZ!

I really am sorry about this, too, pergammano! I was so shocked! Yes, it's possible that Miley's popularity created a new strife. This might not be true but as much as I've always liked Billy Ray, it seemed to me like he always picked Miley as the favorite out of all of his children. He has five children. Maybe she just showed more interest in being in show business more than the others. I don't know. I hope she has good financial management, too.

i HADN'T HEARD THAT BUT THAT'S TOO BAD. sEEMS like marriages don't last like they use to. I loved achy breaky to. I never did care much about anymore of his songs. I hope Miley had someone to look after her interests.

I hope she has somebody to look after her interests, too. This is so sad! I guess you've heard that saying, "the kids get the worst end of it". Thank you for responding.

Billy Ray and Tish are calling off the divorce and are trying to work things out for their family. I'm glad, because as many people know, divorce is an extremely difficult thing to go through, especially for kids. Miley has been acting out a lot lately, probably due to the family drama that's going on around her. Since she's 18, she has full control of her money now.

Wow!! I am suprised that I never heard about this, and wonder if this is partly to do with Miley getting so famous, or what. I am hoping that she will choose to want to still be around her Dad more as he is who helped her a lot from what I hear to be who she has become as well. Personally I often think when $$ sometimes becomes an issue like this and causes a Divorce too many times people quit caring about their Marriage and vows and let the world and Fame dictate to them instead.
