While Miley Cyrus dominates global stages with her powerhouse vocals and rebellious persona, an entire branch of her family lives a world away in Australia, enjoying a remarkably normal life far from the Hollywood glare.
The Wrecking Ball singer's connection to Australia comes through her father's side of the family. Her paternal aunt, Noelle Cyrus, made the move Down Under years ago and has since built a life and raised a family in the coastal city of Newcastle, New South Wales.
A Family Out Of The Spotlight
Unlike their famous cousin, Noelle's children—Miley's first cousins—have steered clear of the entertainment industry. They lead private lives, with careers and pursuits that stand in stark contrast to the global superstardom Miley has achieved.
Photographs reveal a strikingly good-looking family, with the Australian cousins sharing the same charismatic genes that helped make Miley and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, household names. Yet they remain largely unknown to the public, enjoying anonymity in their Australian hometown.
From Country Roots To Pop Stardom
The connection adds an interesting layer to Miley's heritage. While she is best known as a Hollywood-born pop icon and the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, this Australian link shows a family with diverse geographic roots and experiences.
It's understood that Miley has been aware of her Australian relatives over the years, though the distance and their desire for privacy have meant the famous and non-famous branches of the family have led largely separate lives.
The discovery of Miley's Australian family offers fans a fascinating glimpse into the road not taken—what life might have been like had her own family chosen a different path away from Tinseltown.
