Billy Ray Cyrus has been married to his wife Tish for 28 years. Again and again there are crises in the marriage before there is actually a divorce in April 2022. With singer Firerose, the 61-year-old soon found a new lady of the heart, with whom he even got engaged. What do you think daughter Miley says about it?
US country musician Billy Ray Cyrus has become engaged to Australian singer Firerose. Cyrus made the application in August, as the couple now reports to the magazine “People” in a joint interview.
“Billy looked at me and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ And I just said, ‘Of course I do. I love you,'” Firerose explained in the interview. She later chose her engagement ring herself, according to the 34-year-old.
According to their own words, the two musicians have been friends for twelve years. They met in Los Angeles on the set of the teenage series Hannah Montana, in which Cyrus played alongside his daughter Miley. Firerose auditioned for another project on the premises that day. That’s how they met on the studio premises.
The 61-year-old invited her to watch the filming. After that, they stayed in touch. In July 2021, they released a first song together entitled “New Day”.
“Once we started sharing the music, it became more of a musical soulmate, a happy, pure love that I didn’t know could exist,” says Cyrus. In the summer, Firerose moved into his farm in Tennessee, where he took care of his terminally ill mother. Shortly before his mother died in mid-August, he proposed to the singer on the farm.
The musician was previously married to Tish Cyrus for 28 years. Together they have three children, Miley (29), Braison (28) and Noah (22). The singer also adopted Trish’s children Brandi (35) and Trace (33). He has a 30-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus have repeatedly discussed a breakup. In 2010 and 2013, applications for a divorce were already filed, but withdrawn shortly thereafter. In April 2022, however, there was no turning back – since then the divorce has been final. At the end of August, Billy Ray Cyrus published a first photo on his Instagram page showing him with Firerose.
The country singer has now denied media reports that his daughter Miley has not spoken to him since his engagement to Firerose. Referring to his failed relationship with ex-wife Tish, he explains: “Everyone knew that this marriage was long over. It was clear to everyone that it was time for a change.”
