Meanwhile, Trace is best known as a singer and guitarist for the band Metro Station. The youngest child, Noah, is a singer whose songs have appeared on various charts around the world.

Are Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus still married?

Billy Ray and Tish are still married after more than 25 years together. However, things were not always easy for the couple.

They filed for divorce in 2010 and 2013, though they never went through with it. Instead, Billy Ray and Tish decided to work on their relationship instead.

“We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together,” a rep for Billy Ray said in a statement to Us Weekly. “We both went into couples therapy something we haven’t done in 22 years of being together, and it’s brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways.”

The statement continued, “Tish also said marriage can be really hard especially after 22 years of being in entertainment. We’ve had rough times but we both realized we didn’t want to be another statistic and wanted to make it work.”

Tish also echoed this sentiment in an interview with Bravo. She said, “I do think that marriage is hard work. And I think a lot of people, when you go through struggles and difficult times, that people throw in the towel a little too easy. And I think that any relationship — whether it’s marriage or family, it doesn’t matter — it’s you truly do have to take care of it and nurture and really work hard at relationships.”
