They always have each other's backs and also influence each other's careers.
15 The Complex Ties
Trace is Billy Cyrus' stepchild. So is Brandi. Miley is his biological daughter from Tish. Billy and Tish had two more kids, Braison and Noah. Billy had a son, Christopher, by another woman.
Billy linked all the kids legally, by adopting Trace and Brandi. Thus, the kids were one big family growing up together. So, Trace and Miley are half-biological siblings, as well as legal siblings.
14 The Childhood Fights
Trace Cyrus is Miley Cyrus' half-brother. Their mother is Tish Cyrus, a film producer. Trace was from Tish's earlier relationship.
At The Tonight Showstarring Jimmy Fallon, Miley Cyrus recounted how she argued and outright fought with her siblings, including Trace, when they were all kids. There was this family trip to Florida where the children were at such loggerheads that their father promised never to take them on a vacation again.
13 Growing Up Close To Nature
Both Trace and Miley Cyrus went to local schools, like their other siblings, and grew up enjoying nature on a sprawling ranch in Tennessee. They rode ATVs and horses, played in the open and had active outdoor lives as kids.
This cultivated a love for nature in both of them, and Trace and Miley still bond over their mutual appreciation of the outdoors.
12 The Tattoo Twinnings
Trace and Miley do many things alike. Both have wild sides and similar mindsets. For example, both have this thing for tattoos. Trace has not left much of his skin uninked. He's pretty much covered all over with tattoos. His little sister, Miley, has over 20 tattoos of different shapes and sizes, on various parts of her body.
11 The Name Change
Miley and Trace both had different names as children. Miley's original name was Destiny Hope Cyrus, while Trace's was Neil Timothy. As Miley was a chubby, bubbly little kid, Trace and other family members started calling her Smiley Miley. She embraced a hybrid version of her nickname, Miley, in 2008. She changed her name legally.
Trace changed his name after being adopted by Billy Ray.
10 The Push For Career
Miley Cyrus featured her brother, Trace, on her popular music track, Hovering, in 2008. After Billy Ray, Miley was the next most popular musician in the family. She aimed at giving her big bro a little push in his career by performing with him on the music track. The song appeared on her famous album, Breakout, which was well-received by fans.
9 The Brother-Sister Song
After Trace Cyrus quit the band, Metro Station, he did a solo project called Ashland High. He recorded a song with Miley Cyrus, called Shot in the Dark. Trace never released the album.
After being asked why he was holding it back, he said he does not want to sell records because of Miley's fame. He would release it after he made his own mark.
8 Combating Mental Health Issues Together
Both Miley and Trace have had to combat mental health issues for years. There is some debate about whether mental health issues are caused by nature or nurture, so who knows if their problems are genetic?
Miley had panic attacks and hot flushes, and once locked herself in a room - Billy had to break the door down. Trace once canceled a trip to Canada due to anxiety and depression.
7 The Two Savage Souls
Both of these half-siblings fit the savage, wild child mold. They've dabbled in substance abuse. Trace had to undergo treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. He recovered briefly, then relapsed again. He apologized on Instagram for losing control once more.
Miley has also dabbled in the same things, but she's now over all that and focused on health.
6 Playing The Big Brother
As a slightly older brother, Trace has been protective of Miley. He revealed to US Weekly that he did not like her husband, Liam Hemsworth, much when they first met. He said he reacted like a typical big bro who would loathe any guy who dated his sister.
Eventually, things got better between Trace and Liam, and Trace thought of Hemsworth as a 'great guy'.
5 The Strong Bond With Liam
Trace and Miley share a close bond. When Trace was still engaged, he and his fiance, Taylor Sanders, told Hollywood Life (in a joint interview) that Miley and her husband, Liam Hemsworth, made their relationship work based on the "trial and error" method.
Miley and Liam had been together, with a few splits along the way, for a long time and that seemed to make their relationship strong.
4 Waiting For Brenda 'Cyrus'
Trace dated Miley Cyrus's friend, Brenda Song, who worked on Disney Channel, just like Miley. Trace and Brenda were even engaged before they parted ways. They had a 7-year-long romance.
When Trace declared on social media that Brenda had agreed to marry him, Miley Cyrus could not hold back her excitement on Twitter. She said she could not wait to see Brenda become a Cyrus.
3 Trace thanking Miley
Trace was engaged to Taylor Lauren Sanders. The engagement was called off recently. In a caption of s selfie with his sister, Miley, Trace thanked her for "always being there" for him.
He added that, now that he was single again, he would concentrate on his work, fitness, and family. He said he felt blessed having his family's support during a hard time.
2 The Major Sibling Goals
Miley Cyrus published a series of photos on Instagram, clad in high-waisted jeans, V-necked white tee, and biker boots, displaying her recently chopped-off, messier tresses. Trace, the older brother, loved her new look. He complimented Miley, writing…"yooo cool mullet kid"!
Miley wrote back that she learned about mullet hairstyles from the best - her big bro! The sweet exchange revealed so much love between the two.
1 Family First
When Miley Cyrus is not performing, fighting for a cause or stirring up controversies with her posts, she spends time with her family and publishes photos with her parents or siblings.
When she got a role in Hannah Montana, the entire family, including Trace, packed their bags and moved with her to Los Angeles. This speaks volumes about how the Cyrus clan puts family first.
