Hollywood has seen messy celebrity breakups before — but few stories have shocked fans quite like the situation surrounding the Cyrus family.
What was supposed to be a glamorous Malibu wedding quickly turned into one of the most talked-about celebrity family scandals in recent memory after reports resurfaced claiming that Noah Cyrus once had a “friends with benefits” relationship with actor Dominic Purcell — the same man her mother, Tish Cyrus, later married.
The wedding took place in August 2023 at Miley Cyrus’ luxurious Malibu home, with Miley herself serving as maid of honor during the emotional ceremony. But fans immediately noticed something strange: Noah Cyrus and her brother Braison were completely absent.
That’s when the internet exploded.
Sources claimed tensions inside the family had become so serious that security was reportedly prepared in case Noah attempted to appear at the wedding. Even more shocking, reports suggested Tish allegedly knew about Noah’s previous involvement with Dominic before starting her own relationship with him.
The controversy spread like wildfire online, with fans calling the situation “unbelievable,” “awkward,” and “the messiest Hollywood family drama in years.”
Noah never fully confirmed the rumored relationship, but she did spark headlines after angrily responding to a social media commenter who mocked her over the situation.
Despite the public drama, the family has since appeared together in interviews, suggesting they may have privately worked through the tension behind closed doors.
Still, fans across social media continue asking the same question:
How does a family ever recover from something like this?
