Billy Ray Cyrus has filed for divorce from wife Firerose less than a year after the pair got married.

Cyrus and Firerose tied the knot in October 2023, but now Cyrus, 62, filed for divorce in Nashville on May 22 according to documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine.

As for why Cyrus has made the filing, the court documents reference irreconcilable differences in the marriage, as well as inappropriate marital conduct.

Cyrus is also reportedly seeking an annulment of the marriage, citing frauds as the grounds for it.

Cyrus and Firerose, whose legal name is Johanna Rose Hodges, had been friends for years.

They got closer together during the Coronavirus pandemic, which saw them writing songs together, and in 2022 the pair began dating each other.

Finally, they officially got married in October 2023.

In a joint Instagram post at the time, the pair wrote: "10/10/23 will always be the beautiful, joyous day that our two souls united as one in holy matrimony.

"It was the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined."

The pair also released four collaborative songs while they were together, called 'New Day', 'Time', 'Plans', and 'After the Storm'.

Speaking about their relationship at the time, Firerose said: "Only by the grace of God did I survive my darkest nights. There is so much truth in these lyrics and it’s my purpose to help others find strength in their toughest hours."

The pair had previously spoken about their relationship publicly, in which Firerose called Cyrus the 'love of my life'.

Speaking during an appearance on Good Morning America in August 2023, Cyrus said: “We’re kind of like… It’s a peanut butter and jelly.

“I’m a left-handed singer-songwriter from Flatwoods, Kentucky, and she’s a trained orchestral musician…”

Meanwhile, Firerose said: "It has been a beautiful whirlwind and I’m just so grateful that I get to live my dreams every day with the love of my life."

Cyrus had also used the same words to describe the relationship.

In an Instagram post celebrating Firerose's birthday, he called her the 'beautiful love of my life'.

According to the court documents obtained by TMZ, Cyrus reportedly gave Firerose until May 24 to vacate their home.

The documents also indicated he had put up $500 a night for ten days for temporary housing.

Cyrus was previously married to Cindy Smith between 1986 and 1991, and then to Tish Cyrus - who he shares daughter Miley with - for three decades until they divorced in April 2022.
