Grief, self‑medication and recovery

Speaking earlier in January 2026 on The Squeeze, Tish connected the downward spiral to her mother Loretta Finley's 2020 death, saying she began self‑medicating with marijuana to numb pain. She eventually stopped when anxiety worsened and credits therapy with helping her process the loss and the end of her marriage.

New beginnings and hard-earned advice

Tish says a friend pushed her toward dating her "dream guy," Dominic Purcell, whom she married in 2023. She also offered a listener practical advice about moving on: focus on reality over fantasy and allow yourself to believe life can improve. Meanwhile, Billy Ray married singer Firerose in October 2023 (that marriage ended with a divorce finalized in August 2024) and later went public with Elizabeth Hurley in Easter 2025.
