Billy Ray Cyrus, 61, was reportedly ‘engaged’ to young singer Firerose 5 months after his 28-year-old wife Tish Cyrus filed for divorce

US country singer Billy Ray Cyrus is reportedly “engaged” to singer Firerose, five months after his wife of 28 years, Tish Cyrus, filed for divorce.

The Achy Breaky Heart artist, 61, is said to be “engaged” to the singer, who “was recently spotted with a huge diamond ring”, according to The US Sun. Billy Ray and Firerose worked together on a single last year called New Day.

Billy and Firerose, whose ages are unknown, were seen spending time together in several posts on their two Instagram accounts.

Billy Ray shares five children with Tish Cyrus, 55, – daughters Brandi, 35, Miley, 29 and Noah, 22, and sons Trace, 33, and Braison, 28.

In Tish Cyrus’ divorce filing earlier this year, she said she and Billy Ray hadn’t cohabited for more than two years.

According to the outlet, the romance could impact Billy Ray’s relationship with superstar singer Miley, after reports the father and daughter unfollowed each other’s Instagram accounts amid the tension.

“Billy is happier than he has been in a long time with Firerose,” an insider said. “There had been problems in his marriage for some time. He and Tish were on and off for the better part of a decade, but things had been over for a while before the announcement in April.

However, not everyone sees his decision to move forward so quickly in the same way. There has been some tension with Miley, which is sad to see, but everyone hopes they can get over it soon enough. Luckily, his other kids don’t have a problem with him, and he just collaborated with his youngest, Noah, on a song.

Firerose was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and moved to Los Angeles when she was 19, according to a 2021 report from Main Street Nashville.

She told the outlet that she has long had a fondness for singing and songwriting.

“Honestly, I can’t tell you where it came from, but my mind and soul connected to the world through music and helped me make sense of everything,” she told the point of sale. “I would come home from school and write a song about my day and I thought that was a normal thing to do.”

She said she taught herself to play the piano: “It was just sitting down to the keys. I didn’t know the name of the chords but I felt it and played by ear.’
