Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus have a big blended family that even is occasionally referred to as a present-day "Brady Bunch." Not only did the couple welcome their two children, Miley and Braison, very soon after getting together, but Billy Ray went on to quickly adopt Tish's two other children from her previous relationship with ex-husband Baxter Neal Helson, Brandi and Trace (via The Sun). They later completed their family in 2000 with the birth of their youngest child, Noah Cyrus.
While Brandi and Trace officially became part of the Cyrus family, that seemingly wasn't the case for Billy Ray's son from his previous relationship, Christopher Cody. The country crooner told ABC News in 2004, "In a perfect world, Cody would be living with me, and we'd all just be one happy family. But as we all know, it ain't a perfect world." Cody apparently saw things differently, telling the Mirror years later, "I don't have a relationship with them really."
The Cyrus kids have seemingly used their famous last name to their advantage by forging careers for themselves in the entertainment industry. For example, Trace, Braison, Noah, and obviously Miley have released their own music, and Brandi is a DJ who also hosts podcasts. Tish explained to People, "I think there's an interest surrounding our family; it's not just Miley, but it's Noah and me and Billy Ray and Brandi and Trace and everyone." She added, "People seem to love us, as a family, and I think it's really cool..."
