Billy
Ray
Cyrus
Moves
on
With
Firerose
Billy
Ray
quietly
got
engaged
to
Australian
singer
Firerose,
who’s
27
years
his
junior,
in
August
2022
but
waited
to
confirm
the
news
until
that
November.
“Growing
up
in
Australia,
my
love
of
music
was
predominant
over
everything,”
Firerose
told
People. “I’ve
known
his
music
since
forever.”
What
started
as
a
friendship
turned
into
more
during
the
darkest
days
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
“All
of
the
sudden,
the
life
that
I’ve
always
known
as
a
touring
artist
didn’t
exist
anymore,”
Billy
Ray
said. “A
moment
of
so
much
change.
And
at
the
same
time,
Firerose,
who
had
been
such
a
light
of
positivity,
such
a
best
friend.
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.”
