After Divorce From Billy Ray Cyrus, Firerose Wishes She’d Told Her Younger Self To ‘Run In The Opposite Direction’ When They First Met

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for personal narratives, I find myself deeply saddened by the story of Billy Ray Cyrus‘ ex-wife, Firerose. Her recount of their brief but tumultuous relationship is a stark reminder of the importance of self-preservation and the need to trust one’s instincts, especially when they signal potential danger.


Billy Ray Cyrus’ former spouse, Firerose, is disclosing her thoughts on how their fleeting and passionate relationship with the Achy Breaky Heart performer might have taken a different course.

The Australian musician Johanna Rosie Hodges (known as Miley Cyrus), born in Sydney, shared thoughts about her brief marriage and subsequent divorce in an interview with Stellar magazine published by the Australian Sunday Telegraph on October 12. Reflecting on her past experiences with a former partner, she wishes she could advise her 22-year-old self to turn away and never look back.

Firerose and Cyrus first crossed paths more than a decade before their 2023 wedding, as she was exiting an audition in Hollywood on the very set where Hannah Montana starring him and Miley Cyrus was being filmed. In a later interview with Stellar, Firerose recalled her younger self as a struggling artist. At that time, she had little knowledge of the popular singer because she didn’t own a TV due to financial limitations.

Following their brief encounter, Firerose remembered Cyrus suggesting an introduction to some individuals and spending the remainder of the day together. To be honest, her initial thought was: “What is his intention here? I should have set stronger limits.” She reflected on this moment.

As I recall, back then, I was still wedded to my second spouse, Tish Cyrus, who eventually filed for divorce from the musician in April 2022.

During the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic, I, an ardent fan, found myself captivated as Billy Ray and Firerose started a beautiful romance that unfolded like a captivating melody. The seven-time Grammy winner extended his hand, and our beloved artists intertwined their musical souls, creating a bond stronger than the most resilient chord.

Firerose admitted, “I always aimed to show love and faith towards this individual, though my actions were quite naive. Deep down, I yearned to trust that he embodied the best aspects of the man I had fallen for.

Nevertheless, their initial blissful period as a couple soon dissipated, leading Billy Ray to file for divorce in May 2024 – only seven months after their wedding. He attributed the breakup to unresolvable disagreements and inappropriate behavior within their marriage. Furthermore, he asked for an annulment based on deceit, alleging that Firerose had racked up a $96,000 bill on his credit card. In response, Cyrus applied for a temporary restraining order to stop her from spending his money unnecessarily.

She responded to his claims in a countersuit, accusing him of subjecting her to “extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse.”

In June, Firerose confided in Page Six that she was taken aback when her separated spouse filed for divorce, claiming he compelled her to leave their shared residence on the very day she was to undergo a double mastectomy surgery.

She additionally shared that Billy enforced extremely stringent guidelines for her, implying he limited her nail appointments to once a month, permitted her visits only to the nearby chiropractor, and wouldn’t let her own a car. “It was a system of isolation, and I lacked the strength to escape,” she sadly admitted.

During an interview with Stellar, Firerose stated that after their marriage, the singer often expressed concerns about her going out in public, suggesting it wasn’t safe because others might recognize and endanger her.

At first, she assumed his behavior was merely protective, but when she eventually recognized that her personality had transformed from vivacious and extroverted to shy and introverted, it was already past the point of no return.

Firerose shared with Stellar magazine that her former spouse often laid blame on her for past misfortunes in his life. “Given all the positive experiences he’s had, success, fortune, and blessings, it’s truly unfortunate that he seems void of fulfillment,” was her sentiment.

On August 5th, the divorce between them was officially concluded. In their agreement, Firerose didn’t receive any monetary compensation from her former partner; instead, he was obligated to transfer his rights to any outstanding debts and future royalties from the songs they co-authored and published jointly.
