Billy Ray Cyrus recently made headlines with news of his divorce from his wife, Firerose, after less than a year of marriage. The unexpected turn of events has left fans surprised and curious about the reasons behind the split.
The 62-year-old entertainer tied the knot with the 35-year-old performer on October 10, 2023, in what seemed like a union filled with promise and hope for the future. However, recent reports from TMZ indicate that Billy Ray filed for divorce in late May, citing “irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct.” Additionally, he seeks to annul the marriage on grounds of “fraud,” adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
While the news of their divorce may come as a shock to many, signs of trouble may have been brewing beneath the surface. Observant fans noted that Billy Ray and Firerose no longer follow each other on Instagram, a subtle yet telling indication of discord in their relationship. Ironically, Firerose had recently shared heartfelt photos commemorating their six-month anniversary, expressing gratitude for their bond and referring to Billy Ray as her “best friend.” However, social media posts can often mask the underlying realities of a relationship.
A closer look at their journey reveals a narrative filled with both joy and challenges. Billy Ray recounted how he and Firerose first crossed paths on the set of “The Hannah Montana Show” approximately 12 years ago. Despite initially forging a friendship, their relationship evolved over time, particularly during the pandemic, when they found solace and inspiration in each other’s company. Their shared passion for music led them to become songwriting partners, culminating in the release of their debut song, “New Day,” in July of 2021.
Speculation about their engagement began swirling when Firerose posted a photo flaunting a diamond ring on her finger in September 2022, sparking excitement among fans. Subsequent revelations confirmed that Billy Ray had indeed proposed the month before, signaling a significant milestone in their journey together.
Billy Ray was previously married to Tish Cyrus. The two were husband and wife from 1993 to 2002. Together, they share five children: daughters Miley, Noah, and Brandi, and sons Trace and Braison.
