Billy Ray Cyrus Files for Divorce from Wife Firerose after Less Than a Year of Marriage: Irreconcilable Differences and Inappropriate Marital Conduct Cited

Billy Ray Cyrus, the 62-year-old country singer and actor, has filed for divorce from his wife Firerose after less than a year of marriage. The news was first reported by TMZ on June 11, 2024. According to court documents obtained by various media outlets, Cyrus cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reasons for the split.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose met on the set of Hannah Montana over a decade prior to their wedding in Tennessee in 2024. They began dating shortly before he finalized his divorce from Tish Cyrus, his wife of 30 years, in 2023. The couple got engaged in August 2021 and married the following October.

The split marks Billy Ray Cyrus' third marriage and Firerose's second. They do not have any children together.

Cyrus filed for divorce on May 23, 2024, in Williamson County, Tennessee. He is seeking an annulment based on fraudulent grounds. The court documents state that the couple lived together for seven months and that Firerose had to leave Cyrus' residence by May 24.

Billy Ray Cyrus has been funding Firerose's search for a new place to live, initially paying $500 per night for temporary housing and later agreeing to pay $5,000 per month for 90 days or until the divorce is finalized. He also gave her a deadline of May 24 to move out of his house.

It is unclear at this time what specific acts constituted inappropriate marital conduct or fraud. Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have not commented on the matter publicly.

The split comes amidst reports that Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray's famous daughter, has been estranged from her father since his marriage to Firerose. Miley reportedly walked Tish Cyrus down the aisle when she remarried in 2023 but did not attend Billy Ray's wedding.

Billy Ray Cyrus is best known for his roles in the TV show Doc and the Hannah Montana franchise, as well as his country music career. He has been open about his libertarian beliefs and has spoken out against government overreach and socialism.
