It appears that Tish Cyrus has once again caused a heartache for Billy Ray Cyrus, leading the country music icon to find love once more. Recently, Billy Ray, 61, seemingly confirmed his engagement to an Australian singer named Firerose, just six months after Tish filed for divorce after three decades of marriage.
Although Firerose and Billy Ray have not officially confirmed their relationship, the recent photos of the engagement ring suggest otherwise. These images have sparked widespread speculation about their future together, with many believing that “I do” was likely said.

The news has not been universally welcomed. According to E! News, Miley Cyrus has had limited contact with her father since the split from Tish, and it seems she does not have a relationship with Billy Ray’s new, significantly younger fiancée. A source revealed that the divorce between Miley’s parents has strained her relationship with her father, making it difficult for them to reconnect in the past year. However, Miley hopes they can eventually work on their relationship.
This situation has led many fans to ask the question on everyone’s lips: who exactly is Firerose?
Who is Firerose?
Firerose is a singer-songwriter who grew up in Sydney. She graduated from the Newtown School for the Performing Arts in Sydney’s Inner West. On her website, Firerose writes about her lifelong passion for songwriting, which began at a young age. She was raised by a family of symphony musicians and believes her purpose on earth is fulfilled through music.
“I always believed that my purpose on earth was fulfilled by music,” she says. “And helping people up with a song I wrote gives everything so much meaning. I write from a place in my soul that’s unexplainable and I’m incredibly grateful for this gift that allows me to touch people so profoundly.”
Firerose currently lives in Los Angeles, California, where she continues to write and produce music.
How did Billy Ray Cyrus meet Firerose?
According to reports, Firerose and Billy Ray have known each other for over a decade. They first met on the set of Hannah Montana, the children’s comedy series starring Billy Ray and his daughter Miley. In an August 2021 interview on Live With Kelly & Ryan, Firerose recalled the story.
“We actually met 10 years ago on the set of Hannah Montana,” she 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.”
What Hannah Montana episode was Firerose in?
It remains unclear if Firerose was ever actually on Hannah Montana. However, according to her, that was where she met Billy Ray.
What is Firerose’s age?
Determining Firerose’s exact age is challenging, as she is not a well-known figure. Some fans speculate she may be younger than Miley Cyrus, but this has yet to be confirmed. Most assume she is in her mid-20s.
What is Firerose’s real name?
Finding Firerose’s real name is also proving difficult. Some news outlets suggest her real name is “Rose Hughes,” but this has not been verified. For now, the public will have to wait for more information.
How long have Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose been dating?
The pair reportedly started dating after Tish Cyrus filed for divorce in April this year. However, they had known each other for some time before that. They even collaborated on a song titled New Day in July 2021.

Billy Ray Cyrus’ dating history
Billy Ray Cyrus’ dating history is relatively straightforward due to his 30-year marriage to Tish. From 1993 to 2022, he was married to Tish, and prior to that, from 1987 to 1991, he was married to country songwriter Cindy Smith. He briefly dated former American waitress Kristin Luckey in 1991, before his relationship with Smith.
Their short relationship resulted in Luckey giving birth to a son, Christopher Cody, who both she and Billy Ray co-parented. Christopher is reportedly now a lawyer, and Lucky is remarried with a family of her own.
