Tish Cyrus he is thinking about his marriage Billy Ray Cyrus and that he was not ready to throw in the towel until he had to.

“I never wanted to break up,” Tish, 57, said during the Monday, November 25, episode of Kate Hudson again Oliver Hudson“Sibling Revelry” podcast, noting that her parents' decades-long marriage was the inspiration for her long marriage.

He went on to say, “[But] for us, you are in the public eye and the world we live in is already strange, and sometimes unstable. I wanted to make it work, maybe for a long time, for, like, my mental health. There was a point where, like, I didn't have a choice.”

Tish went on to tell Hudson's siblings that her breakup in 2022 with the “Achy Breaky Heart” hit was tough on everyone, even though their kids were grown when they split amicably. (The frontrunners, who tied the knot in 1993, filed for divorce in 2010 and 2013, but reconciled. They share daughters Miley Cyrus again Noah Cyrusand a son Bryson Cyrus. Tish also has two children from a previous relationship, a daughter Brandi Cyrus and a son Follow Cyrus(both adopted by Billy Ray, age 63.)

“I was an only child and I had the best upbringing with the best parents and I never went through anything like this. So I don't really know how it affects you, but… it was definitely something that must have been difficult for them, no matter how you do it,” Tish explained. “And I think we did it really well. I think I did pretty well, and I think I wanted it to be as easy as possible for everyone involved. “

Brandi, 37, who hosts the podcast “Sorry We're Cyrus” with her mom and appeared on Monday's episode of “Sibling Revelry,” echoed Tish's sentiments.

“It wasn't good, but then again, we're all old enough to understand,” she said. “We're able to step back and see what it was.”
