shutterstock_645006199

Tish Cyrus has filed for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus after almost 30 years of marriage. Tish filed for divorce in Tennessee last week, according to court documents; it also notes that Tish and Billy Ray have not lived together since February 2020. Tish cited irreconcilable differences as the grounds for their divorce and is asking that the court equitably divide and distribute their marital assets and award her separate property.

This is not the first time either has filed for divorce from the other. In October 2010, Billy Ray filed before revealing the following year that he dropped the divorce. Then, in 2013, Tish filed for divorce.  The two spoke out about working on their relationship, saying: “We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together. We both went into couples therapy, something we haven’t done in 22 years of being together, and its brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways. We’ve had rough times, but we both realized we didn’t want to be another statistic and wanted to make it work.”

The couple were married in December 1993, share five kids: Miley Cyrus, 29, Noah Cyrus, 22, and Braison Cyrus, 27, as well as Brandi Cyrus, 34, and Trace Cyrus, 33, who Trish gave birth to prior to their relationship. Billy Ray also has a son, Christopher, with his ex, Kristin Luckey.

shutterstock_1460132942-2

Britney Spears announced via Instagram on April 11 that she’s expecting her third child, her first with fiancé Sam Asghari. In her caption, Spears also hinted she and Asghari may have gotten secretly married, referring to him as her “husband.”  The 40-year-old Spears said in her post: “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back  … I thought “Geez … what happened to my stomach ???” My husband said “No you’re food pregnant silly  !!!” So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby  … 4 days later I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there … I might just loose it  … I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have … it’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible  … women didn’t talk about it back then … some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her … but now women talk about it everyday … thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret … This time I will be doing yoga every day !!! Spreading lots of joy and love 💕 !!!”

Spears has been vocal about her desire to have another child, claiming the rules of her past conservatorship made it unlikely. In a Los Angeles court in June 2021, she said that her father, Jamie Spears, and his team would not allow her to “get married and have a baby” under the conservatorship. After 13 years under the legal guardianship, Spears was officially freed from the conservatorship on November 12, 2021 by Judge Brenda Penny.

Spears first started dating Asghari in 2016, after they met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video. The couple announced their engagement in September 2021, showed off the singer’s new diamond ring on social media.

Jack White marries girlfriend Olivia Jean onstage during tour opener in Detroit

shutterstock_110343689-3

Jack White married Olivia Jean, a singer on his Third Man label who had served as opening act at his tour opener in Detroit, on stage at the Masonic Temple Theatre. The surprise marriage proposal came just minutes earlier, in the middle of a rendition of “Hotel Yorba.” Third Man’s top man, Ben Blackwell, presided over the marriage, and White’s and Jean’s bass players served as best man and maid of honor.

According to Detroit Free Press writer Brian McCollum, White was 80 minutes into his set and performing “Hotel Yorba,” which he’d brought Jean out on stage to sing background vocals on. White introduced her as his girlfriend and said, “And I love her very much. I’ve got a little question for you, Olivia Jean. Will you marry me?”   Jean said yes, before White carried her off the stage.  Minutes later, the couple returned to the stage for an encore that included a wedding ceremony, with White’s mother, Theresa Gillis, in attendance, as well as Jean’s father joining the duo on stage.

It’s the third marriage for White, who was previously wed to White Stripes drummer Meg White and model Karen Elson, who also recorded for Third Man.
