Since the age gap is a biggie, let’s start there. As of this writing, Billy Ray Cyrus is 62 years old, while Firerose is reportedly in her early 30s. For context, Billy Ray’s biological daughter, Miley Cyrus, is currently 30, and his adopted daughter, Brandi Cyrus, is 36. The thirty-year age difference between Billy Ray and Firerose shocked fans, and even Miley found it challenging to accept. According to E! News, Miley has not established a relationship with her dad’s new wife and has sided with her mother, Tish Cyrus, in the wake of the split. “The divorce between her parents [has] put a strain on [Miley’s] relationship with her dad and it’s been hard to connect with him in the last year. She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship,” a source said.
