Cyrus posted about his wife in February of this year, wishing her a happy birthday and describing her as the “beautiful love of my life.”
In April of this year, Firerose commemorated their marriage anniversary as well by sharing a photo from the event with the message, “6 months ago I married this man. 🤍 Although it’s not always simple, having your husband double as your best friend is definitely helpful. God, I am grateful.
