Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have finalized their divorce nearly three months after filing.
The country singer initially filed for divorce from Firerose, previously known as Johanna Hodges, after just seven months of marriage.
According to reports, the couple cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reasons for their separation.
Billy Ray Cyrus’s attorneys, Rose Palermo and Jason Talley of Cheatham Palermo & Garrett, informed the media that the former couple reached a settlement agreement on August 2.
Rose shared,
“This past Friday the parties reached a settlement agreement at mediation to dissolve their 7-month marriage, and the Court declared the parties divorced this morning. Mr. Cyrus is relieved to put this nightmare behind him.”
Billy Ray Cyrus expressed his relief over the outcome of the divorce proceedings. The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer recently posted on social media,
“Giving thanks today to breathe a sigh of relief. It’s unfortunate that our relationship played out this way.”
He added,
“It was a matter of the heart. Love is blind … that’s for sure. B. R. C.”
For those unfamiliar, Billy and Firerose got married on October 10, 2023.
