Billy Ray Cyrus files for annulment alleging marital misconduct after seven months of marriage


Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose are ending their relationship less than a year into their marriage.

Cyrus, 62, requested a contract annulment from the Australian singer, 36, in May, alleging “irreconcilable differences” and alleged “inappropriate marital conduct,” according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The “Achy Breaky Heart” country singer filed a petition to end their union in a Tennessee court last month.

In addition, “the consent to marry was obtained through fraud” was listed as a ground for annulment. Their date of separation was listed as May 22, 2024, according to the documents.

“The husband claims that he is entitled to an annulment since he consented to the marriage based on fraud on the part of the wife, and that if he had known this he would not have married his wife,” the petition states.

Representatives for Cyrus did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

“Thereafter, the husband shall pay the wife $5,000 per month for her to obtain suitable housing in the Middle Tennessee area for a period of 90 days or the dissolution of the marriage, whichever occurs first,” the documents.

Cyrus must give “reasonable access” to her marital home to allow Firerose to remove her belongings, and she must provide all of her social media passwords to a designated person, according to the agreement.

“There are a couple of old pine trees on the lot that look like like Tennessee” he recalled. “Tex (his dog) and I would go there in the middle of the day and he would go about his business. And we would stretch and he would think how much he missed Tennessee.

“On that particular day, Firerose walked out the front door. There was almost a moment of, I don't know, recognition. I thought, 'This girl is a star.'”

Cyrus has five children with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus. Firerose was also previously married.
