People confirmed the news and said Tish Cyrus filed for divorce Wednesday in Williamson County, Tenn.

In court documents, Tish Cyrus, 54, cited "irreconcilable differences" for the split. She also said she and Billy Ray Cyrus, 60, have not lived together in more than two years.

Billy Ray Cyrus previously filed for divorce in 2010 but withdrew his petition for divorce months later. Tish Cyrus filed for divorce in June 2013 but reconciled with Billy Ray Cyrus shortly after.

"We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together," the pair said in a joint statement in July 2013. "We both went into couples therapy, something we haven't done in 22 years of being together, and it's brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways."
