Country performer Billy Ray Cyrus has filed for divorce from his singer wife, Firerose, after just seven months of marriage, according to TMZ. Not only is Cyrus seeking a divorce, but he is also requesting the court to annul the marriage, claiming that it was fraudulent.

The exact nature of the alleged fraud remains uncertain, as Cyrus did not specify whether it pertains to matters of the heart or financial deception. However, the divorce filing did mention "inappropriate marital conduct" alongside the customary irreconcilable differences.

According to the reported court documents, the couple separated on May 22, with Cyrus subsequently asking Firerose, whose birth name is Johanna Rose Hodges, to leave their home by May 24. Despite the split, Cyrus has been providing financial assistance for Firerose to find alternate housing. Initially, he paid $500 per night for temporary accommodations, later agreeing to pay $5,000 per month for 90 days or until the divorce is finalized.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose had initially crossed paths over a decade ago during the filming of Hannah Montana, where she was participating in auditions. Speculations among fans suggest that Cyrus' daughter, Miley, who is 31 years old herself, may have harbored resentment towards her father for starting a relationship with someone only four years older.

Just days before news of Cyrus and Firerose's split became public, Billy Ray reached out to Miley via social media, expressing his pride in her by posting a childhood photo on Instagram. Reports reveal that he had attempted to establish contact with her on numerous occasions in the past.

As details of the divorce and annulment proceedings unfold, fans and sources will undoubtedly follow the story closely, seeking further insights into the reasons behind the couple's sudden split.
