According to a source, Miley Cyrus had previously cautioned her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, that his marriage to Firerose wouldn’t last, but he didn’t heed her advice.
Now, in response to Billy Ray’s recent divorce from Firerose, who is significantly younger, an insider shared with In Touch Weekly that the singer-songwriter of “Flowers” is reportedly “thrilled” by the news.
“Miley is still quite upset with her dad for how poorly he treated Tish Cyrus, so forgiveness won’t come easily just because he’s single again,” the insider disclosed. “He’ll need to put in a lot of effort to regain her trust, but ending things with Firerose is certainly a step in the right direction.”
Billy Ray had been married to Tish for three decades before their separation. Shortly afterward, he entered into a relationship with Firerose, culminating in an engagement within seven months and marriage last year.
However, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct, the country singer recently filed for an annulment from Firerose.
Upon learning of the divorce, the insider revealed that Miley was “upset” because Billy Ray hadn’t taken her warnings seriously, as she didn’t want to witness her father in pain. “However,” they added, “she also feels a sense of vindication for being proven right.
Nevertheless, she’s genuinely pleased that her dad has seen reason and ended things with Firerose, as she always held that relationship responsible for disrupting her family.”
