The Cyrus family feud has played out in real-time over the past few years — but now, Noah Cyrus is speaking out about the air-quotes drama in her life … and she doesn’t want anything to do with the public’s perception of her family.
Speaking to People in an interview published on Thursday, August 21, the “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus” singer, 25, told the outlet: “I keep myself quite separated from any interest or ‘drama’ with the family.”
“The one thing that’s connected us with the entire world is music, and that’s what’s the most important to us,” Noah — whose famous family members include dad Billy Ray Cyrus, sister Miley Cyrus, and brother Trace Cyrus — continued.
Though she calls the attention on her family’s squabbles “emotionally … draining … it doesn’t hurt us or touch us,” Noah explained. “It’s something that you really learn to keep separate and far away from yourself.”
To be fair, the Cyrus crew’s personal relationships have made headlines over the years due to their public nature. In 2022, Noah’s mom, Tish Cyrus, divorced Billy Ray after nearly 30 years of marriage (and two previous divorce filings). Several months later, in 2023, Tish married her second husband, Dominic Purcell — who Noah was rumored to have had a previous fling with. (The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer, for his part, had a tumultuous marriage to Firerose, which ended in divorce in 2023. He went public with his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley in April.)
Things only got messier after Trace publicly called out Billy Ray via Instagram in January.
“Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl,” the Metro Station singer, 36, wrote at the time. “She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though. We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it.”
After Trace’s back-and-forth with younger brother Braison Cyrus, 31, who was collaborating with their dad on the duo’s own album earlier this year, it appeared as if the rifts began to mend in March, when Noah released “Don’t Put It All on Me,” featuring Fleet Foxes, which was written by Braison.
Now, after releasing her latest album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me — which features collaborations with her dad and Braison — Noah wanted to let the world know that she and her family are good.
“Everybody’s great and loves each other,” the “July” singer shared. “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.”
