Unfortunately for Billy Ray and his songbird bride, their union was met with apprehension from country music fans and his family.
Sources told RadarOnline.com that his pop star daughter Miley Cyrus tried her best to talk her lovesick father out of marrying Hodges.
Daughter Miley Cyrus reportedly tried to talk her father out of marrying Firerose.
Billy Ray and Hodges announced their engagement last November after dating only a few months and collaborating on a song. As they neared their wedding date, sources dished that the former Disney star pleaded with her dad to rethink his decision.
"It freaks Miley out to see her dad acting like a besotted old fool with this girl," an insider claimed. "Word is he doesn't want a prenup, so everything he's earned is going to be split with her 50-50. They're also trying to get pregnant as soon as possible."
"Miley wants to sit him down — preferably with a couple of her siblings — and see if she can work a miracle or, at the least, convince him to protect himself financially."
However, Miley had no apprehension when it came to her mother's new partner. The Flowers singer welcomed mom Tish's marriage to Prison Break star Dominic Purcell, 53, with open arms. She even stood as her mom's maid of honor when she exchanged nuptials with Purcell in August.
"Miley supports Tish because her mom acts like a grown-up," a source noted. "Clearly, she feels Billy Ray doesn't."
