The reason Miley Cyrus' parents are splitting after 17 years of marriage: Mom Tish had an affair with rocker Bret Michaels, reports the new Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday).
When Billy Ray learned of it - as well as at least one other fling - he filed for divorce Oct. 27, sources tell Us Weekly.
Michaels, 47, "became close to the entire family" this past February when he and Miley released the racy duet "Nothing to Lose," an insider tells Us Weekly.
He and Tish, 43, soon began carrying on an on-the-sly romance, sources tell Us Weekly.
Tish was seen at Michaels' Feb. 28 show at the Key Club in L.A., and he had once asked her production company’s help to adapt his book, Roses & Thorns, into a movie.
"Billy Ray was completely unaware of what was going on," the source says of the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner, who is seeking joint custody of their three minor children, Miley (who turns 18 Nov. 23), Braison, 16, and Noah, 10. (They have three older children from previous relationships.)
Though a rep for Michaels refutes the allegations, telling Us Weekly, "There has never been an affair or a fling," and a rep for Tish also denies the dalliance, the Cyrus source insists, "It was a professional relationship that turned into something more."
For more - including how a "devastated" Billy Ray learned of the affair; why a "hurt" Tish is trying to save the marriage and how Miley is coping with her parents' pending divorce - pick up the new Us Weekly Wednesday!

62This is why you don't trust your woman to be alone with ANY guy .
Thats awful, some people just can't work together and be professional. They just cant.
That's Un called 4..Tish Bret Michaels At That! && 2 Kno Tht I Love Miley Cyrus Is a Big Thing. 17 Yrs That's Rude Bret Michaels && He Is No Longer Love In My World. Tish I'm Dissapointed In You && That's It.. Screw Bret Michaels
I don't believe it. Tish has been in the background forever, while he and Miley are everywhere, and all over the news. Billy Ray is trying to make a comeback, and is looking for sympathy, any way he can get it. He's disgusting. Go Tish
" Bret Michaels " is and always has been a Male W___e- " Michaels doesn't want her or any "ONE" woman- I can't believe there are so-o-o- many stupid women out there!
i love Miley Cyrurs right now i do not like Bret because 17 years is a lot to me i know how their children must feel well i hope the Cyrus's are alright,from:Chunny
If what you are saying between Bret and Tish...Then be friends...Billy and Tish really have to listen to each other...to save their marriage. 17 years is a good long time and a it was ment to be. Billy are you reading this ...give her another chance and Brett tell him you got a woman of your own... and the fabrications were wrong and hurtful. Peace out.
well he needs to drop the injun bracelet he is a embrassment to the injun tribes......He is ugly as home made sin without his hat on.... yuck ugh grose and shazam is all I can say... and she is so grose herself....
I'v been married 50 years and I think everyone needs to reread thier wedding vows? Better or Worse Forgiving goes a long way and is a dificult thing to do but it works
Miley is being prostituted out, like all other teen singers before her. It's the "Grease" strategy - start out wholesome - get a following - sexualize them and continue robbing of responsibility and innocence of young ppl. Very sad.
She's a goldigger!
This guy sleeps with anything that walks.GROSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys shouldn't believe everything you read or hear.
Both of them need a haircut!
she should have gone to the humaine society would have gotten a better deal,and shots too
You people would believe anything , why can't you just believe the truth . Why can't you believe they were just close friends who thought about it , but just did'nt go thru with it. Because thats the truth... and lets just say : I KNOW .
Brett's new TV show only had fewer than 400,000 viewers last week. Is the story part of a VH1 PR effort to get more viewers?
Geez....I am itchy thinking about it!!! Billy Ray, run out and get a shot of tetanus and test for STIs!
When One Plays with Fire, then One gets burned................
Don't believe it for a second! Bret's been in the news a lot this year. He said in interviews months ago that he was friends with Miley's family and hung out with them when he and Miley recorded together. Sounds like an opportunistic journalist trying to find a juicy angle to the Cyrus divorce to sell some magazines. Bret's girlfriend is beautiful, he doesn't need to downgrade.
