It's Billy Ray Cyrus' birthday today! In honor of the special occasion, let's dive into his personal life, career, family life, and even his love life as he's currently engaged to a woman after his marriage to Tish Cyrus.
The country musician was born on August 25, 1961, he's now 62 years old! He spent the early days of his life in Flatwoods, Kentucky, and his father was Ron Cyrus, a steelworker who later worked his way to become a politician.
It appears that music was really in his roots as he started singing at age four because he was surrounded by several musicians in his family like his father who played the guitar.
Billy Ray didn't rise to fame in an instant because when he moved to Los Angeles to try and get his big break, he wasn't successful at first to the point that he had to live in his neighbor's car.
