The country singer and father of popstar Miley Cyrus filed for divorce from Firerose (real name: Johanna Rosie Hodges) on May 23, according to an online search of the Williamson County court system. Cyrus cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the primary reasons for the split, according to People magazine and Entertainment Tonight.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Cyrus for comment.
The couple, who tied the knot in October 2023, separated on May 22, per People and ET. Despite their recent nuptials, Cyrus stated that “consent to (the) marriage was obtained by fraud” in his divorce filing.
The Grammy-winning singer will be required to provide spousal support to Firerose amid their divorce, according to ET. Cyrus will pay his estranged wife, who was required to leave Cyrus’ residence following their separation, $500 per night for 10 nights to cover the costs of temporary lodging as she searches for a new home.
Additionally, Cyrus will pay the Australian singer $5,000 per month to “obtain suitable housing in the middle Tennessee area for 90 days or the dissolution of the marriage,” per ET.
Before his relationship with Firerose, Cyrus was married to manager and producer Tish Cyrus from 1993 until April 2022 when the couple filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
Cyrus and Tish have five 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren together: Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison and Noah. Billy Ray adopted Brandi and Trace, who are Tish’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from a previous relationship.
The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer isn’t the only Cyrus to take a trip down the aisle. Tish Cyrus married “Prison Break” actor Dominic Purcell in a small poolside ceremony at daughter Miley’s Malibu home in August 2023.
