Miley Cyrus wiped away tears as she watched her mother Tish Cyrus marry Aussie actor Dominic Purcell in a poolside ceremony in Malibu last week.
But sources say they weren’t tears of joy. Instead, the ceremony cemented the divide that’s ripped the family apart.
“Right up until the last minute, both Tish and Miley were hoping Noah and Braison would show and it was heartbreaking when they had to carry on without them.”

Noah, 23, also shared a snap of the pair in which she wore a Billy Ray T-shirt, prompting speculation the siblings are team Billy Ray.
Miley’s elder brother Trace, 34, seemingly responded with a pic of his own – a flashback of himself, Miley and Brandi, 36, cuddling up to Tish, which the bride reposted on her own story.

“Miley and Tish are hoping the heat Noah and Braison are getting from their post will have them come to their senses and the fact they’re trying to downplay it already shows they might be regretting airing the dirty laundry in public like they did,” says the source.
“It was pretty cruel and almost ruined Tish’s big day.”

“This family is a mess,” said one fan of the Cyruses, who have reportedly been divided down the middle for months.
“The whole family hasn’t been united since Tish and Billy Ray announced their divorce, and when they started dating new people, things only got worse,” confirms the source of the couple, who divorced last year after 30 years together.
While Miley, 30, and her famous father were once close – they starred on their own Disney Channel show Hannah Montana together – sources say they’ve distanced themselves and unfollowed each other on social media.

The couple met on the set of Hannah Montana 11 years ago when Firerose auditioned for the children’s show and while she failed to get the gig, the pair remained friends until things turned romantic.
But the insider says Miley will still be a dutiful daughter when the couple tie the knot too.
Friends of the bride shared photos with Miley at the wedding.

“She was always going to be there to support her mum and plans on being there when her dad marries Firerose, but for Noah and Braison, they feel their mum’s moving way too fast and is rebounding from their dad.”
