Trace Dempsey Cyrus: Second Born Child of Helson 

Trace Dempsey Cyrus was born on February 24, 1989. He is pursuing a career in the Music industry. Trace is the guitarist/bassist and sub-vocalist of the pop band Metro Station.

Trace suffered from various mental health problems. He was also suffering from anxiety. At some point, he even holed himself in his house due to his growing anxiety. And his addictions took control of him. Thus, the band announced its disbandment. 

Fortunately, Trace got the help that he needed so desperately. Ever since he has been much healthier and better. And the band got reunited in 2019. Trace started by opening up about his struggles. Through his Twitter account, he expressed:

Helson Is Leading a Single Life After Divorcing Tish  

Baxter Neal Helson chose to remain single after divorcing Tish Cyrus. Helson's ex-wife Tish married the famous country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

But, as for Helson, there has been no news of him marrying nor being committed to anyone. But, there had been a rumor of him saying that he was dating a Hollywood artist.

Because Helson has preferred to lay low, news relating to him is difficult to find. So, the information regarding his lifestyle and relationships may have remained covered.

Things between Tish and Billy were great for years. But like her first marriage, Miley's mother saw her second marriage end in a divorce. Tish's wedlock with her second husband ended after nineteen years. 

More recently, Baxter's ex-wife tied the knot for a third time. Tish married her boyfriend, Dominic Purcell, the actor, in 2023. To be more precise, Purcell and his new wife tied the knot on August 19, 2023.

Battle of The Custody

After Helson and Tish divorced, there was a conflict over the custody of the children. Reportedly, a series of trials determined whether Helson or Tish would be the parent to take the children's primary charge. 

After going through the lawsuit, the court handed the custody over to Tish Cyrus. Helson was permitted to visit and share telephone calls with the children. But, being the father, he wanted more. So, Helson filed a petition to have special meetings with his children. Following this caused another series of trials. 

Tish stated that the children were unwilling to have such meetings and were rather cold with Helson. The children visibly seemed to be closed off from Helson. And they have tried their best to avoid Helson as much as possible.

Baxter Neal Helson's Relationship With His Children:

The relationship between Helson and his children is not how the relationship should have been between the parent and the children. As stated above, the very reason the custody of the children was handed over to Tish was that they didn't have a close relationship with Helson as their father. 

Helson had a distant relationship with his children. All this time, no improvement has been seen in their relationship. Nonetheless, it is not something we viewers can testify to. Moreover, no instances have existed where Miley mentioned her stepfather, Helson.

How Rich is Baxter Neal Helson?

Even though Helson's ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, is a millionaire, his net worth of Helson is estimated to be $1 Million, like Ski Bri. While the validity of the information is still weak, it seems he has been making his living through his music. 

His links in business and other activities are not yet found. That could be because he has never got involved in anything else. Baxter can fulfill his needs with the resources from his music career, so he may not have felt the need to get involved in the business.

Baxter Neal Helson's Step Daughter is a Multi-millionaire

Miley Cyrus is not only a talented singer and entertainer but a multi-millionaire. Miley holds a net worth of $160 million making her the richest family member in Cyrus. 

Miley is even richer than her mother, Tish Finley Cyrus, and step-father, Billy Ray Cyrus combined as they both have only an individual net worth of $20 million.  

Social Media Handles

You might be shocked by knowing that Helson is not a social media-friendly person. He has always been a private person. Not only did he manage to stay out of light ever since marrying Tish, but people also came to know about his existence later in the time.

Helson has always kept his existence in cover. Even during the marriage, his social presence was non-existent. And now, after the divorce, he has been more of a ghost. And there has been no news of any of his activities.
