Billy Ray Cyrus, known for his hit “Achy Breaky Heart,” married singer Firerose in October 2023, marking his third marriage.
The couple ignited engagement rumors when Firerose posted a photo wearing a diamond ring on September 13, 2022. It was later disclosed that Billy had proposed several months earlier.
“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,’” Firerose recounted. “He said, ‘I love you. I wanna make this official. I wanna be with you forever.’”

Billy and Firerose first met around 12 years ago during the filming of Hannah Montana, where she was auditioning for a role.
Billy reminisced about their first meeting: “There were a couple of old pine trees on the lot that reminded me of Tennessee. Tex, my dog, and I would go out there in the middle of the day, and he’d do his thing. We’d stretch, and I’d think about how much I missed Tennessee. On that particular day, Firerose emerged from the front door. There was almost a moment of, I don’t know, recognition. I thought, ‘This girl’s a star.’”
He continued, “She mentioned she had an audition, and I said, ‘Well, I’m sure you got the job.’”
Although Firerose didn’t get the part, they kept in touch.
“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,’” Billy explained.
“‘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,” Billy added.
Billy proposed in August 2022, and soon after, Firerose moved in with him.
Before marrying Firerose, 34, Billy, 62, was married to Tish Cyrus for 28 years. They have five children together: daughters Miley, Noah, and Brandi, and sons Trace and Braison. Billy also has another son, Christopher Cody, from a previous relationship with Kristen Luckey.
Firerose, a singer-songwriter, has collaborated with Billy on several projects. Their latest works include a cover of “Silent Night” and a music video for their fourth single together, titled “Plans,” which premiered exclusively with People.
“‘Plans’ is such a positive song full of love and passion. Everyone on set brought their A game. I’m so excited for fans to see what we created!” Firerose shared.
When they posted photos of their wedding day, they received many congratulatory messages from fans. However, Billy’s hair attracted some humorous comments.
“Could he not have at least combed his hair for the occasion?” one person asked. “He couldn’t find a comb?!” another queried. “All that money and no hairbrush?!” joked another.
We extend our congratulations to the happy couple.
