Billy Ray Cyrus Files For Divorce From Firerose

Billy Ray Cyrus performs during CMA Fest 2022 in Nashville, Tenn., on June 12, 2022. Cyrus filed for divorce from his wife, singer Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges, in a Tenness

Country musician Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, has filed for divorce from singer Firerose, 36, after seven months of marriage. The divorce was filed in a Tennessee court on May 22, citing irreconcilable differences and 'inappropriate marital conduct.' Cyrus is also seeking an annulment due to fraud on Hodges' part, stating he would not have married her 'had he known' about the alleged fraud. The filing does not provide further details on the alleged inappropriate conduct or fraud but mentions that each party should retain their separately owned property.

The couple, who got married in October 2023, resided in Tennessee and collaborated on releasing several songs during their relationship. Despite their public presence, representatives for Cyrus and Hodges have not yet commented on the divorce. Hodges, in an Instagram post in April, expressed gratitude for having Cyrus as both her husband and best friend.

This marks Cyrus' third marriage, having been previously married to Tish Cyrus, with whom he shares five children, including musician and actor Miley Cyrus. Their divorce in 2022, after nearly three decades together, led to a highly publicized family rift. Miley's Grammy acceptance speech earlier this year notably excluded her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, sparking speculation about their relationship.

Neither Hodges nor Cyrus has addressed the divorce on their social media platforms. The filing was first reported by TMZ, and the couple's representatives have not responded to requests for comments. The divorce filing comes as a surprise to many fans, given the couple's public displays of affection and collaboration in their music careers.
