Billy Ray Cyrus has decided to call it quits with his wife, Firerose, after less time than it takes to grow a decent mustache.
The 62-year-old country crooner and his 35-year-old flame tied the knot on October 10, 2023. But by late May, Billy Ray was already saying “Achy Breaky Heart” to the relationship, as reported by TMZ.
People magazine chimed in with the details: Billy Ray is citing “irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct” for the split, and he’s asking for an annulment on grounds of “fraud.” Sounds like someone’s got a beef that goes beyond leaving the toilet seat up.
In a classic social media move, they’ve both hit the unfollow button on Instagram. Firerose recently posted a gushy six-month anniversary message, saying, “6 months ago I married this man. 🤍 Life isn’t always easy… but it sure helps when your husband’s also your best friend. Thank you Lord! 🤍” Awkward, right? Meanwhile, Billy Ray’s last Instagram post featuring Firerose is from six weeks ago. Guess the honeymoon pics weren’t meant to last forever.
Billy Ray and Firerose’s love story reads like a script from a sitcom. They met on the set of *The Hannah Montana Show* 12 years ago and stayed pals, turning their friendship into a pandemic songwriting partnership. They dropped their first tune together, “New Day,” in July 2021, and engagement rumors started swirling when Firerose flashed a diamond ring in September 2022. Turns out, Billy had popped the question a month earlier. Surprise!
This isn’t Billy Ray’s first rodeo. He was previously hitched to Tish Cyrus from 1993 to 2002, and they have a full house with five kids: Miley, Noah, and Brandi, plus sons Trace and Braison. Here’s hoping Billy Ray’s next chapter is filled with less heartache and more honky-tonk!
