Billy Ray Cyrus marries Firerose in 'ethereal celebration'
Cyrus married Firerose on Oct. 10, 2023. The following day, the newlywed couple shared photos from their nuptials on Instagram.
In the photos, Cyrus and Firerose were seen soaking up their marital bliss in an idyllic field. Cyrus wore a classic, black-and-white tuxedo while Firerose donned a white dress that featured a semi-sheer top embroidered with white floral patterns.
Cyrus and Firerose said in the joint post that their wedding was "the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined."
"10/10/23 will always be the beautiful, joyous day that our two souls united as one in holy matrimony," the couple wrote. "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! ❤️♾️"
Firerose credits Billy Ray Cyrus' dog for introducing them on 'Hannah Montana' set
During an October 2023 appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Firerose shared the "funny story" of how the couple met.
"I was walking out of an audition ... in Hollywood, and Billy's dog at the time, Tex, who was the most beautiful German shepherd you've ever seen, he was tapped into some divine purpose," Firerose told host Kelly Clarkson. "That was, like, 14 years ago so all these years later we just got married!"
At the time, Billy Ray was filming "Hannah Montana" at Sunset Bronson studios with daughter Miley Cyrus and was taking a break with Tex when he encountered Firerose, according to a 2022 interview the couple did with People magazine. He offered to take her onto the set and introduce her to the Disney Channel show's producers.
"Don't ever take a strange man up on this offer, but, in this case, Tex will testify that you will be totally safe," Cyrus recalled saying at the time. "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."
They kept a "solid" friendship over the years, Firerose told People.
After "a lot of prayer" following his divorce from ex-wife Tish Cyrus, Cyrus asked Firerose whether they could be more than friends. They started as "musical soulmates," which evolved into "happy, pure, love that to me, I didn't know could exist."
Cyrus and Firerose have collaborated on various singles, including “New Day,” “Time” and “Plans.”
