▲Love knows no boundaries. And for some famous individuals, age is just a number. Many celebrity couples have an age difference of ten years or more, but some are separated by 50 years or more!
When Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife of almost 30 years, Tish Cyrus, filed for divorce in 2022, it came as a shock. However, they both found love again pretty quickly. Tish 56, married 'Prison Break' actor Dominic Purcell, 53, in 2023. Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, developed a romance with his younger collaborator, Firerose. The Australian singer is reportedly 34 years old. Media outlets initially reported that Firerose was in her mid-twenties, but the age gap is slightly less cavernous at around 27 years!
They first met back in 2010 when Firerose auditioned to appear on 'Hannah Montana,' and they remained friends. In 2020, when Cyrus and his former wife first separated, he began to collaborate on music with Firerose. "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," Cyrus told People in 2022.
In November 2022, Cyrus confirmed rumors that they were engaged. Almost one year later, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on October 10, 2023. "10/10/23 will always be the beautiful, joyous day that our two souls united as one in holy matrimony," they wrote in a joint Instagram post. "It was the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined." They continued, "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." The post came with a selection of photos of the newlyweds, with Cyrus in full tuxedo and Firerose in a lacy white gown and veil. It's unclear if any of Cyrus' children were involved in the ceremony, as there have been rumors of tensions with his 30-year-old daughter, Miley Cyrus, since his divorce from Tish.
