Billy Ray Cyrus finalises nasty divorce from ex-wife Firerose — and she gets $0

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have finalised their messy divorce after less than a year of marriage, and it’s not good news for the Australian singer.

Billy Ray Cyrus has finalised his nasty split from Firerose – and she is walking away with no money in their divorce settlement.

Lawyers from both sides confirmed to TMZ the Achy Breaky Heart singer and his Australian wife – born Johanna Rose Hodges – have signed and sealed their divorce documents in Tennessee.

The former couple, who wed in October 2023, was declared divorced on Monday morning, local time.

Firerose, 35, will get $0 from her ex, but Cyrus, 62, will hand over his claims to credits and royalties for songs they wrote and published together.

The outlet also reports Firerose changed her last name to Cyrus and the dad of six believes she only married him for that reason.

“This has been absolutely the most crazy insane scam I have ever heard of. Let alone the fact I’m right in the centre and basically the target of the scheme,” Cyrus said in a statement via his lawyers to TMZ.

“It’s unfortunate it played out this way. Not only was it a web of lies that put me in physical danger, it was a matter of the heart. Love is blind, that’s for sure.”

Cyrus filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reason for the split. He also sought an annulment on the grounds of fraud.

In June, the country singer accused Firerose of charging $US96,000 on his credit card and requested a temporary restraining order against her to prevent her from using his cards.

The couple married in October 2023.

Firerose argued in her own court filing that she has had access to several of Cyrus’ credit cards since they moved in together in 2022. She also claimed she never had to abide by any limit and should be able to use their martial money to support her new lifestyle.

In a counter-complaint, Firerose then accused her ex of “unpredictable and volatile” behaviour that equated to “extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse.”

She claimed Cyrus’ behaviour was influenced by his “persistent drug use accompanied with the consumption of marijuana.”

Cyrus denied the allegations and stated Firerose was actually the one who was abusive and threatened to ruin his career if he divorced her.

Firerose also claimed Cyrus “ambushed” her with divorce papers one day before she was scheduled to undergo a double mastectomy.

Cyrus was previously wed to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991. After their split, he and Tish Cyrus were married from 1993 to 2022.

Tish, 57, and Cyrus share three children together: Miley, 31, Braison, 30, and Noah, 24.

The Old Town Road singer also adopted Tish’s two children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35, from her previous marriage.
