Miley Cyrus risks being 'caught in the middle' of mum's boyfriend stealing drama
Miley Cyrus had "no idea" about the romance drama surrounding her mum and sister, with one expert suggesting she might now find herself "caught in the middle".
Her mum, Tish Cyrus, has been accused of "stealing" her husband Dominic Purcell from her daughter, Noah Cyrus. Tish went public with her new romance in 2022 and they tied the knot in August last year. However, a source has claimed Dominic was actually in a relationship with Noah when her mum pursued him.
Noah and Tish haven't spoken since the scandal and the 24-year-old didn't attend her mum's wedding. Relationship expert Louella Alderson believes Miley now finds herself in a tough situation.

Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: "The situation between Tish and Noah could have a ripple effect on other family relationships, including the one between Miley and her sister. It's possible that this could cause tension or strain between them, especially if Miley feels caught in the middle or unsure of how to navigate the dynamics within her family."
Miley Cyrus responds to Leicestershire florist's Valentine's Day tributeA source insisted Miley had "no idea about the drama". They told People magazine: "She confronted her mom about it. She thinks it’s a strange situation, but she loves her mum and wants her to be happy."
Tish and Dominic even got married at Miley's Malibu house. Louella said: "Miley showed support for Tish and Dom's relationship by attending their wedding when Noah and her brother Braison Cyrus did not.
"This could be a source of conflict between the siblings, as it may seem like Miley is taking Tish's side over Noah's. However, it's also possible that Miley genuinely supports her mother and new stepfather and is not trying to play favourites or take sides in the situation. She may feel like they are a good match and want to see them happy together."
The relationship expert then suggested ways Miley can remain close to both Tish and Noah. "It's a tough situation for Miley to navigate, but if she wants to remain close to both her mother and sister, she may need to find a balance and try not to let their conflict come between her relationship with them separately.
"She could communicate her support for Tish without invalidating Noah's feelings or taking sides in the situation," she explained. Louella warned, however, that Noah may now feel like she "can't count on her sister for support".
She told us: "Their relationship may be majorly impacted by this situation. However, if Miley is willing to listen and be there for Noah, and Noah is open to it, their bond may actually become stronger as they work through this difficult time together.
"Ultimately, Miley and Noah's relationship depends on them as individuals, the dynamic of their relationship, the reason for the breakdown in Noah and Tish's relationship, and how they want to move forward at the moment. Family arguments can require space and time before people are ready to reconcile, and it's important for all parties to respect that."
