Parents to daughters Miley and Noah as well as son Braison (plus he adopted her daughter Brandi and son Trace and fathered son Christopher in a previous relationship) the couple tied the knot in 1993.
The country singer filed for divorce in 2010, saying in a statement at the time that they were “trying to work through some personal matters.” Mission accomplished, at least temporarily, because Billy Ray withdrew his petition in March 2011. However, he refiled in June 2013, and she counter-filed. And yet, they stayed together again, Tish crediting couples therapy for bringing them closer.
But they would later find themselves drifting apart. Though Tish filed for divorce a third time in April 2022, her petition stated that she and her husband of 29 years had actually been living apart since February 2020.
“It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways—not with sadness, but with love in our hearts,” the exes told People in a joint statement. “We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths.”
Later that year, Billy Ray got engaged to Firerose, whom he wed in October 2023. But after less than a year of marriage, the “Old Town Road” artist filed for divorce in June 2024. Following a contentious split, they settled their divorce two months later.
Meanwhile, Tish accepted Prison Break star Dominic Purcell‘s proposal in 2023 and married him that year.
