Who Is Firerose?
The Sydney, Australia, native is a singer-songwriter who has collaborated with Billy multiple times in the past. The Hannah Montana alum and the blonde beauty released her hit single “New Day” in July 2021 and released a joint music video the following month.

In an August 2021 interview on Live With Kelly & Ryan, Firerose opened up to Ryan Seacrest about how she met Billy.
“We actually met 10 years ago on the set of Hannah Montana,” the “All Figured Out” songstress said. “Billy Ray’s been a phenomenal supporter of my music ever since. He’s just really believed in me and continued to tell me to pursue my dreams no matter what and not give up. The music industry is not easy, but he’s been just a really, really incredible support [sic].”

Although she had previously shared posts via Instagram in 2021 with Billy to promote their single “New Day,” Firerose began posting photos of them together more frequently in mid-July.
“No place like backstage at the @OPRY,” she captioned an Instagram picture of them on July 20, 2022, posing in front of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Since then, Firerose has shared multiple snapshots with country music star, including playful videos of them driving together and sweet selfies.
When Did Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Divorce?
On April 6, 2022, Tish filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, from Billy for the third time in their 28-year marriage. They first filed for divorce in 2010 but repaired their marriage. Tish filed for divorce again in 2013, but they chose to stay together.
In the paperwork obtained by In Touch, Tish cited “irreconcilable differences” in her 2022 filling and claimed that the former pair had not “cohabited as man and wife for a continuous period of more than two years.”
Five days later, Billy and Tish broke their silence on their divorce.
"It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways — not with sadness, but with love in our hearts," their joint statement read, per People. "We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths. We will always be family and look forward to a continued and loving shared experience as friends and parents. We have not come to this decision lightly or quickly but with so much going on in the world, we wanted to provide some clarity and closure, so we can remain focused on what is important. With Love and Hope… Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus."
Tish and Billy tied the knot in December 1993 and share five children, Miley, Noah, Braison, Brandi and Trace.
Are Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose Still Together?
On July 20, 2022, Firerose shared an image of them at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, to which multiple commenters took as a sign that they were in a relationship.
“Gorgeous couple,” one Instagram user wrote. “Beautiful couple,” another chimed in, whereas a separate person asked in the comments section, “[Are] they dating??”
While the “New Day” artist and Billy Ray often appeared alongside each other on their respective social media pages, the pair later confirmed their engagement in November 2022.
“All of the sudden, the life that I’ve always known as a touring artist didn’t exist anymore. A moment of so much change. And at the same time, Firerose, who had been such a light of positivity, such a best friend,” Billy told People of their relationship that turned romantic. “And then when we began sharing the music, it just evolved more into, as musical soulmates, to soulmates, happy, pure love that to me, I didn’t know could exist. Again, we’re musicians, first and foremost, both of us. And we found this harmony, and this rhythm, this melody to life.”
The pair tied the knot in October 2023. However, their romance wasn’t meant to be and Billy Ray filed for divorce seven months later. The paperwork was filed on May 23, 2024, and he indicated there are no minor children involved, according to court records viewed by In Touch.
