Tish spoke candidly when asked about her fractured relationship with her former partner.

As per Daily Mail, the mother-of-five added, "I never wanted to be divorced, [But] for us, you’re in the public eye, and the world that we exist in is already so odd and sometimes unstable."

Tish reflected on her efforts to repair her relationship with Billy Ray, admitting, "I wanted to make it work, probably for a little too long, which took a toll on my mental health. Eventually, I reached a point where I felt I had no choice but to move on."

Meanwhile, speaking about her fractured relationship she confessed that she never assumed her separation from the 63-year-old songwriter would have harmed her family drastically, admitting it became "tough on everyone."

For the unversed, the former couple parted ways in April 2022 after spending nineteen years together.

Reportedly, the Achy Breaky Heart singer also adopted Tish’s daughter, Brandi [37], and a son, Trace, [35] from her previous marriage with renowned drummer, Baxter Neal Helson.
