Achy Breaky Heart, indeed.
Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and wife Tish Cyrus have filed divorce papers in a Tennessee court after 17 years of marriage, People reports. It’s rumored that Billy Ray was the one to file, according to TMZ.
The parents of Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus cite the ever-popular irreconcilable differences at the reason for their split.
Personal matters

“As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family,” they said in the statement. “We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.”
The news comes as a shock to many who saw their long marriage as a loving partnership. The two are parents to a combined family of six children, including their children together: superstar Miley, Braison and Noah.

Staying busy
