Miley Cyrus's parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, are divorcing after 17 years of marriage, they tell PEOPLE.
"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family," they say in a statement. "We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
The couple have five children, including the pop star. Divorce papers were filed Wednesday in Tennessee citing irreconcilable differences.
Divorce is always sad.
Who?
She doesn’t look real....
Was probably hot, NOT GUILTY, x3 hittable, and all of that stuff 17 years ago.
You can definitely see where Miley got her looks from.
Awwwww
someones got an achy-breaky heart.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work out. They're not divorced yet, so there is still a chance they can reconcile.
So sad. Divorce is always destructive. (I’ve been through one.)
It’s a shame that they couldn’t come to terms as to how they would rip off their daughter with their percentages of the action!

Wonder how much this has to do with Miley’s career? Back in the Hannah Montana days when Miley tried to act out and wear sexy outfits her mother would crack down on her, but Billy Ray always seemed to shrug it all off,now that the daughter is headed to Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan territory I suspect this has caused some real issues in the marriage... all supposition of course.
Boy, in this economy, it’s going to be real tough to make ends meet being divorced.
Running two households is expensive. I hope these simple country folk can make it.
Best wishes to her. For her no-talent, grease-ball, freeloading, sh*t kicker hubby, not so much.
Coincides with my suppositions.
Well Miley is turning into a whore, IOW which parent is proud of her and which wasn’t.
So who gets custody of the little slut?
I’m so crushed.
Which is all the more sad, since the original commitment was "forever"...
RE: So who gets custody of the little slut?
Probably joint custody (standard agreement) for a year until Miley becomes an adult and then, she can act like Britney or Lindsay anytime she wants.
Very sad indeed. We divorced last year after 17 years, very sad and depressing situation esspecialy for the kids.
