Less than a year into their marriage, Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife, Firerose, are parting ways. The 62-year-old country singer filed for an annulment from the 36-year-old Australian singer, citing “irreconcilable differences” and alleged “inappropriate marital conduct.” The documents, obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed that Cyrus submitted the petition in a Tennessee court last month. The grounds for annulment also included claims that consent to marriage was obtained by fraud, with the separation date listed as May 22, 2024.
Representatives for Cyrus have not yet responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
In an order filed on May 24, Cyrus agreed to pay $500 per night for 10 nights to accommodate Firerose’s stay in a hotel or Airbnb while she searches for a new place to reside during the proceedings. Additionally, he agreed to provide $5,000 per month for 90 days or until the marriage dissolution, whichever comes first, to assist Firerose in obtaining suitable housing in the middle Tennessee area.
Cyrus must grant “reasonable access” to their marital home for Firerose to move her belongings out, and she is required to provide all of his social media passwords to an appointed person, as per the agreement.
The couple tied the knot on Cyrus’s Tennessee property on October 10, 2023, sharing the joyous occasion on Instagram, calling it a “beautiful, joyous day” when their “two souls united as one in holy matrimony.” Their journey together began 13 years prior when they first met on the set of “Hannah Montana.”
The engagement was announced in November 2022, with Cyrus reminiscing about their initial encounter. He recalled how, on a particular day, Firerose emerged from the front door of the set, and there was a moment of recognition, a realization of her star quality.
Cyrus, known for hits like “Achy Breaky Heart,” has five children with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus, while Firerose was also previously married.
The news of their split has garnered attention, with fans and media outlets speculating about the reasons behind the annulment and expressing surprise at the dissolution of their relatively short-lived marriage. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, with many expressing disappointment and offering support to both parties during this difficult time.
The high-profile nature of the couple’s relationship and the sudden announcement of their separation have sparked widespread interest, with people eager to know more about the details surrounding their decision to part ways. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Cyrus and Firerose will navigate this chapter in their lives and what the future holds for both of them, both personally and professionally.
