-He did not get down on his knee and propose; there was no ring either
-She eventually designed the ring herself, the ONTD dream tbh
-They met in the Hannah Montana days and he credits his dog Tex for introducing them: She was coming out of a door from an audition and in looking at her, Billy knew she was a star. He told her he swore on Tex the dog "she'd be safe" and that he would introduce her to Disney producers.
-They kept in touch and had a "solid friendship" over the years.
-The rest of the family knew his relationship with Tish was over a long time ago and they are "turning the page."
