Billy Ray Cyrus has reportedly filed for divorce from Firerose, his Australian girlfriend of less than a year.
So far “the most perfect and ethereal celebration of love” that any of them could imagine. This is how Cyrus described his wedding day just eight months ago. “For us both to hear the preacher say, 'Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus…I now pronounce you husband and wife,' that was the sacred moment our new forever began,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Now he's apparently singing a different painful tune: Miley Cyrus' father wants an annulment and alleges fraud, according to TMZ, which cited documents listing a May 22 separation date.
The outlet reported that Cyrus gave Firerose two days to leave her house and is paying her $5,000 a month plus money for a home in Tennessee for 90 days or until the divorce is finalized, whichever comes first. Billy Ray Cyrus also alleged non-specific but nonetheless intriguing “inappropriate marital conduct,” according to TMZ.
Representatives for both artists did not immediately respond to questions from The Times on Tuesday.
The third Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus (he is 62, she is 34 and he has been married twice before) exchanged vows on October 10 last year. They had been engaged since late fall 2022, just over half a year after Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from the country singer.
Billy Ray and Tish had been married for almost 30 years and tried to end their relationship twice, finally succeeding with their third divorce filing. The two had not lived together for about two years when she sought separation in April 2022. Rather, the COVID-19 pandemic sent him to her home in Tennessee while she sheltered in place in Los Angeles.
“I hadn't been in a good place for a long time,” Tish Cyrus said of their relationship on a podcast earlier this year (via E! News). “And I think I stayed so long because I was afraid of being alone. Like I knew him when I was 23 or 24.”
Meanwhile, Firerose and Billy Ray met on the set of “Hannah Montana” in 2011, she told Ryan Seacrest in 2022 on what was then “Live! With Kelly and Ryan.”
“Billy Ray has been a huge supporter of my music ever since. He's really believed in me,” Firerose said, just before Cyrus began telling Seacrest about becoming a new grandfather.
On “The Kelly Clarkson Show” last October, he added some details, such as that they met on a street in Hollywood near where he was filming “Hannah Montana,” when she was leaving an audition and he was passing by “the coolest German shepherd.” beautiful”. that you have ever seen.” She asked if she could pet the dog and then described the meeting (or perhaps the German shepherd?) as “taking advantage of some divine purpose” in bringing them together.
Firerose then talked about how pop music was her “spirituality” and how it led her on a pilgrimage to the United States. “I just knew in my spirit that I belonged in America,” she said.
Anyway, it looks like Firerose didn't end up being Billy Ray Cyrus' “real deal,” as he described it to People last November.
“Life isn't always easy… but it sure helps when your husband is also your best friend,” Firerose wrote on Instagram on their sixth anniversary.
Let's assume that they are no longer best friends.
