Miley Cyrus 'Will Cherish' Giving Mom Away to Dominic Purcell at Wedding
Miley Cyrus had an integral part in her mother Tish Cyrus’ wedding to Dominic Purcell, serving as the maid of honor.
“To see my mom this happy and in love is very emotional for me,” Miley, 30, told Vogue in an interview published on Friday, August 25. “Dom and my mom share the sweetest, most genuine love. It’s almost like it’s for the first time, which is so fitting for my mom who is such a young soul. Since they met, they both started aging in reverse. Somehow, my mom has gotten even more beautiful.”
Tish, 56, and Purcell, 53, wed on August 19 at Miley’s home in Malibu, California. “The day was as special and magical as they are,” the “Used to Be Young” singer gushed to the fashion magazine. “To stand beside my mother and give her away to Dom is a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life.”
Tish, who wore a Netta Benshabu bridal gown, added that the celebration was “the most romantic fairy tale.”

“Tish will always love her kids no matter what,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this week of Braison, 29, and Noah, 23, skipping the ceremony. “She understands divorce might be challenging especially when she and Billy Ray [Cyrus] had been together for so long.”
The insider added: “Tish has never pushed her relationship with Dominic on any of her children and that’s not something she would ever do. She gets that it’s an adjustment for the whole family and doesn’t expect everyone to be on board every step of the way.”

Tish and Billy Ray, 61, got married in 1993 before welcoming Miley, Braison and Noah together. The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer also adopted her eldest children, Brandi and Trace, from a previous relationship. Tish ultimately filed for divorce in April 2022, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the split and explained in her petition that the pair had not “cohabitated as man and wife for a continuous period of more than two years.”
Billy Ray, for his part, moved on with singer Firerose, getting engaged in November 2022. That same month, Purcell — who shares two daughters with ex-wife Rebecca Williamson — popped the question to Tish after less than one year of dating.
“Dom, along with Miley, planned the entire thing,” Tish recalled to Vogue of the Prison Break alum’s proposal, which occurred over Thanksgiving. “They knew we would all be together as a family and thought it would be the perfect time!”
