News of her romance with Purcell came shortly after her ex-husband, Billy Ray Cyrus, officially moved on with Australian singer Firerose.

The couple – who first sparked engagement rumours in September 2022 – confirmed they were engaged last November.

However, Billy Ray, 61, did not give Firerose (real name, Johanna Rosie Hodges) a ring or a formal proposal.

“Billy looked at me and said, ‘Do you, do you wanna marry me?’” the singer recalled to People at the time. “He said, ‘I love you. I wanna make this official. I wanna be with you forever.’”

As previously reported, Tish filed for divorce from the Achy Breaky Heart singer for a third time in April 2022 after 28 years of marriage.

In addition to 30-year-old Miley, Tish and Billy have two other children together: Braison, 28, and Noah, 23. Tish is also the mother of Brandi, 35, and Trace, 34.

As for Purcell, he has four kids – Joseph, 23, Audrey, 22, and 19-year-old twins Lily-Rose and Augustus – with ex-wife film producer Rebecca Williamson.
