Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, has gotten remarried to an Australian singer named Firerose. The Aussie performer, 32, is almost half of Cyrus’ age. The two met on the “Hannah Montana” set 13 years ago. The couple announced their engagement in November 2022 when Cyrus revealed he met Firerose while filming the show.
Cyrus recalled the first time he met his new bride. He said: “There’s a couple old pine trees on the lot that look like Tennessee. Tex (his dog) and I would go out there in the middle of the day, and he’d take care of his business. And we’d stretch, and I’d think how much I missed Tennessee. On that given day, Firerose came out of the front door. There was almost a moment of, I don’t know, recognition. I was like, ‘This girl’s a star.’
Thankfully for Cyrus, he met Firerose before the current social climate and cancel culture. The “Some Gave All” singer continued: “She told me she’d had an audition, and I said, ‘Well, I’m sure you got the job.’ I just thought, well, the casting agents, the producers, the writers, they’re all on the floor of where we do ‘Hannah Montana.’ And I actually said to her, ‘Don’t ever take a strange man up on this offer, but, in this case, Tex will testify that you will be totally safe. I’m going to introduce you to a producer, and you can kind of make yourself at home and watch us rehearse and, you know, maybe it might lead to a role or just another contact at Disney.’ And, so, off me and her and Tex went back to the studio. And I think she met a lot of the cast and met the producers, writers. And, in some ways, well, in a lot of ways, we became friends.”
Cyrus and his wife at the time, Tish, split in 2022 after 28 years of marriage, and shortly thereafter, Billy Ray and Firerose became more than just friends. After the Aussie singer moved in, Cyrus proposed, saying: “Billy looked at me and said, ‘Do you, do you wanna marry me?’ And I was just like, ‘Of course I do. I love you,’ He said, ‘I love you. I wanna make this official. I wanna be with you forever.'”
The couple announced the news on social media Wednesday with a series of pictures and posts. “10/10/23 will always be the beautiful, joyous day that our two souls united as one in holy matrimony. It was the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined. For both of us to hear the preacher say, ‘Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus … I now pronounce you husband and wife’ that was the sacred moment our new forever began. Long Live Love!”
It’s unknown whether any of the Cyrus children attended the ceremony. Tish Cyrus married Prison Break star Dominic Purcell in August, and two of the Cyrus children were conspicuously absent. Either way, Billy Ray Cyrus found love later in life, and considering the age difference may absorb some criticism from the woke left, but looks happy, and that’s all that matters.
