The conversation veered into personal revelations, where Tish expressed a surprising regret from her past, particularly regarding her approach to parenting.

Brandi, who doesn’t partake herself, noticed a positive change in her mother, affirming, “You are so much better when you smoke.”

The conversation with Wiz Khalifa comes at a time when Tish is reportedly navigating a complicated relationship with her youngest daughter, Noah.
Allegations have surfacedaout Tish’s relationship with actor Dominic Purcell, 54, whom she married in August 2023, after her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus.
This marriage has allegedly contributed to the tension with Noah, who, along with her brother Braison, was notably absent from Tish and Dominic’s wedding.

The wedding, hosted at Miley’s Malibu mansion, was a grand affair, yet the absence of Noah and Braison sparked speculation about family rifts.
Tish’s marriage to Billy Ray, which began in 1993, ended in 2022 amidst “irreconcilable differences,” marking the culmination of a relationship that had seen its share of challenges, including previous divorce filings by both parties that were eventually withdrawn.
The Cyrus family dynamics extend beyond Tish and her children, affecting Miley’s relationship with her father, Billy Ray. This was highlighted when Miley omitted mentioning her father during her Grammy acceptance speech, signaling a possible strain in their relationship post-divorce.
Dominic Purcell’s presence at the Grammys, alongside Tish, underscores the new family dynamics, with Dominic sharing heartfelt tributes to both Tish and Miley on social media. “To the hottest woman on earth, my stunningly beautiful wife. What would we all do without you?” he wrote, celebrating his new family ties.
In a candid moment on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Tish revealed the emotional toll of her divorce from Billy Ray, describing a period of “complete psychological breakdown.” The separation, coinciding with the global pandemic, forced Tish to confront her deepest fears, including the prospect of being alone.
