Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose’s whirlwind romance has officially spun itself out!
After just seven months of matrimony (or as it’s now affectionately called, “the world’s shortest country song”), the couple has finally called it quits. The divorce was finalized on Monday, August 5, and oh boy, the drama is hotter than a jalapeño in a heatwave.
Here’s the scoop: Firerose is walking away with exactly zero dollars. That’s right, nada, zip, zilch. In a plot twist that’s almost as unexpected as Billy Ray’s mullet, the big-hearted Cyrus is handing over some song credits and royalties from the tunes they penned together. So while Firerose might not get a dollar, at least she’s got some musical leftovers.
Billy Ray’s legal eagles, Rose Palermo and Jason Talley, have announced that this mess of a marriage has finally been “dissolved”—sounds like they were trying to get rid of a bad batch of moonshine. Billy Ray is reportedly thrilled to put this whole ordeal behind him, like a pair of old boots that’s finally worn out.
In an added touch of soap opera drama, Firerose decided to change her last name from “Hodges” to “Cyrus” right before the divorce. Billy Ray is convinced that this was her master plan all along—to snag his last name like it was the grand prize in a country-themed game show.
After tying the knot in October 2023, Billy Ray decided to call it quits in late May 2024. The reasons? Allegedly “irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct.” Sounds like they couldn’t agree on the important stuff—like who gets to wear the rhinestone-studded cowboy hat.
Since the split, things have been hotter than a barbecue grill in July. Firerose accused Billy Ray of being abusive, while he shot back with claims of infidelity and said she’d blocked him from contacting his daughter. It’s a real family feud, complete with a leaked audio clip of their most recent shouting match.
Billy Ray and Firerose’s love story is over faster than you can say “Achy Breaky Heart.” Here’s hoping they both find happiness (and maybe a bit more stability) in their next chapters!
