The internet went wild about Billy Ray Cyrus’s marriage to Firerose, his considerably younger bride. Now that it’s been seven months since they said “I do,” the pair appears to be breaking up.
Billy Ray Cyrus, a country artist, has filed for a divorce from Firerose, his wife of seven months. Firerose, whose given name is Johanna Rose Hodges, and the 62-year-old have been married since October 2023, but the former has now filed for a divorce.
The grounds for the divorce, according to the papers filed with the court, are irreconcilable differences and improper marital behavior. Actually, Cyrus is attempting to have the marriage annulled due to allegations of fraud. At this time, his definition of “fraud” remains unclear.
According to People.com, the pair has also stopped following one other on Instagram.
The pair has already discussed their familiarity with one another. They talked about how they’d been friends for a long time before they started collaborating on music during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their romance started in 2022, yet they didn’t become engaged until October 2023.
Writing in a combined social media post at that time, they expressed their eternal gratitude for the beautiful and wonderful day that their souls were united in holy matrimony: 10/10/23. “It was the most magical, idealized love party we’d ever dreamed of.”

Their joint singles include “New Day,” “Time,” “Plans,” and “After the Storm.” As an optimistic song that spoke to them on a personal level, the pair described “After the Storm” as such. A “powerful and timely” song, according to Cyrus.
I survived my worst nights only by God’s grace,” Firerose declared at the time. My goal is to inspire others to persevere through their darkest times by sharing the profound wisdom contained in these poems.
They went so far as to perform their duet “Plans” on Good Morning America in August 2023.
“You know, we’re like… Their relationship is like peanut butter and jelly, Cyrus thought to himself at one point. “I come from Flatwoods, Kentucky, and I’m a left-handed singer-songwriter. She’s trained as an orchestral musician…”
“It has been a beautiful whirlwind and I’m just so grateful that I get to live my dreams every day with the love of my life,” Firerose responded, adding to his remark.
In honor of his wife’s birthday in February, Cyrus posted a heartfelt tribute to her, calling her the “beautiful love of my life.”

Along with celebrating their six-month wedding anniversary in April of this year, Firerose shared a photo from their big day with the message, “6 months ago I married this man. 🤍 When your husband doubles as your best friend, you have an ally in times of difficulty. Praise be to the Lord!
Cyrus’ first marriage was to a different woman. His 28-year marriage to Tish Cyrus is well-known. Miley, Noah, Brandi, and their boys Trace and Braison are five of his children from a previous marriage.
Christopher Cody is Billy Ray’s older son from a relationship he had with Kristen Luckey before he met Tish.
