Billy Ray Cyrus wants a judge to dissolve her marriage less than a year after tying the knot. Cyrus married singer fire rose in October 2023, after years of friendship and musical collaborations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a divorce petition obtained by TMZ It is PEOPLEBilly is asking for an annulment citing “fraud.”
Here’s What Billy Ray Cyrus’ Divorce Petition Says
Cyrus, 62, filed paperwork against Johanna Rose Hodges on May 22 in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to the fraud, the country music legend cited
“irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct” as the reason for the separation. There are no additional details at this time regarding the conduct charge.
Billy Ray Cyrus didn’t go too easy on 37-year-old Firerose, only giving her until May 24 to leave the marital home! He offered to pay $500 a night for ten days as temporary housing.
The tone of Billy’s petition to his wife appears to be a complete change from his April posts. At that time, he was messing with Firerose and write captions about being blessed with extra heart emojis.
These posts were still on her Instagram page as of June 12. Firerose also has a few posts featuring Billy, including a six-month anniversary post. Both have limited comment sections and do not follow each other.
What happened to his marriage to Tish Cyrus?
Miley Cyrus is one of five children that Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus have raised together in their 28-year marriage! Billy adopted Tish’s two children, Brandi and Trace, and then they had Miley, Braison, and Noah. He is also the father of Christopher Cody, who was born from a previous relationship.
Tish and he married in 1993, but there were some difficult times along the way, including previous divorces filed and withdrawn. They finally split in 2022, making a very amicable public announcement in April.
“After 30 years, five incredible children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways – not with sadness, but with love in our hearts. We grew up together, created a family we can be proud of, and now it’s time to forge our own paths,” said the joint statement per PEOPLE.
They said they were hoping for a “loving experience shared as friends and parents.”
Months later, in August, Billy married Firerose. They reportedly met on the set where Disney filmed ‘Hannah Montana’. Meanwhile, actor Dominic Purcell put a ring on Tish’s finger in April 2023, and they made it official in August!
