Noah Cyrus liked Liam Hemsworth’s latest selfie amid the Cyrus family’s drama.
On April 5, Hemsworth, 34 — who was married to Noah’s older sister Miley Cyrus from 2018 to 2020 — showed off his muscular arms in a gym selfie on Instagram, and Noah, 24, liked the post.
The gesture comes amid drama in the Cyrus family that escalated following the 2022 split of Miley, 31, and Noah’s parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus.
Rumors of drama between members of the Cyrus family — which also includes the sisters’ siblings Brandi, Trace, Christopher and Braison — ramped up after Tish’s wedding to Dominic Purcell in August 2023.
In an intimate ceremony at Miley’s Malibu home, Tish, 56, married the Prison Break star, and only some of her kids were present for the nuptials. Trace, 35, attended, while Brandi, 36, and Miley served as bridesmaids.
Noah and Braison, both of whom Tish shares with Billy Ray, were not present at the ceremony. And, on the day of the wedding, Noah shared a photo to her Instagram Stories of her wearing a Billy Ray T-shirt with brother Braison, 29.
The apparent feud within the Cyrus family escalated further when Miley excluded her dad while shouting out her family in her Grammys acceptance speech in February 2023.
Cyrus was accompanied to the ceremony by mom Tish, sister Brandi and boyfriend Maxx Morando, and when she won record of the year for “Flowers,” she made no mention of Billy Ray, who is now married to Australian musician Firerose.
After thanking her mom, sister and “love” in her speech, the singer said, “I don’t think I forgot anyone. But I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!”
Also in February, a source told PEOPLE that Noah has been “very loyal” to her dad since his divorce from Tish, and noted that the father-daughter duo has “always had a really close relationship.”
“It hasn’t been easy for any of the kids,” the insider added of the split. “Their parents’ separation was really hard, but it was also long overdue.”
The following month, the alleged rift in the Cyrus family made headlines again after more information about the family’s drama came out: Noah had been casually seeing mom Tish’s now-husband Purcell prior to their relationship, PEOPLE learned.
“Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends with benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other and then Tish started something up,” the insider shared, noting that “Tish knew he had been seeing Noah.”
And, though Noah and Purcell had stopped seeing each other before his relationship with Tish began, the insider claimed that “Tish never gave Noah the chance to talk about all of this before they got married.”
As for Miley, the singer was unaware of this drama between Noah and Tish, a source told PEOPLE days later.
“Miley had no idea about the drama with Dominic. No idea at all,” an insider said. “She confronted her mom about it. She thinks it’s a strange situation, but she loves her mom and wants her to be happy.”
