Billy Ray Cyrus met current partner on set of Hannah Montana

Billy Ray Cyrus is dating again after his split with his former wife Tish – and it looks like it's with a woman he met on the set of Hannah Montana many moons ago.

Firerose is a musician, and while it's believed the pair sparked up a romance after collaborating on their 2021 song 'New Day', it turns out they met a lot earlier than people realise.

After performing their song on Live with Kelly and Ryan, the Aussie singer, who is in her mid-20s, said: "We actually met 10 years ago on the set of Hannah Montana... And 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."

Not that you need reminding, but Hannah Montana is the hit Disney series that saw Billy Ray's daughter Miley Cyrus rise to fame.

There has been some confusion to the timeline of events, as Tish filed for divorce from the 61-year-old 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer back in April after nearly 30 years of marriage.

There's also no news on what Miley thinks of the relationship after they met on her show when Firerose would have been in her teens.

But ultimately, Firerose and Billy Ray appear happy together, sharing photos of their time together on Instagram.

Back in August, she shared a picture of the pair in the outdoors, writing: "The world is a better place with you in it. Happy Birthday Bill."

The latest series of images shows the singer with a big rock on her finger which has sparked engagement rumours, but again this is yet to be confirmed.

A representative for Billy Ray had no comment after People reached out for comment.

But that hasn't stopped the online community from sharing their congratulations, with one writing: "Congrats to you both."

"Congrats to you both," wrote another, while a third added: "Congrats! beautiful ring!"

Billy Ray is father to five children with Tish, including Miley, of course, as well as daughters Brandi, 35, and Noah, 22, and sons Trace, 33, and Braison, 28.

In June last year, he became a grandfather for the first time when Braison and his wife Stella welcomed a child into the world.

Taking to Instagram in a now-deleted post, the singer wrote: "Papaw Cyrus holding Bear Chance Cyrus. Or… is He holding me?

"Probably both are accurate assessments!!! Thanking God for all my blessings. Amen.”
