Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have officially ended their tumultuous relationship with a divorce settlement after a short-lived marriage. Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rosie Hodges, reflected on her regrets about the relationship in a recent interview. She expressed that if she could go back in time, she would advise her younger self to run in the opposite direction and never look back when she first met Billy Ray Cyrus in 2010.
Their relationship began after a chance encounter on the set of Hannah Montana, where Billy Ray was filming with his daughter Miley Cyrus. Firerose and Billy Ray reconnected during the COVID-19 pandemic and released a song together in 2021. Despite the initial spark, their marriage quickly soured, with Firerose accusing Billy Ray of emotional and psychological abuse.
Billy Ray filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct. He accused Firerose of isolating him from his family and using him for his last name to benefit her music career. Firerose denied these allegations and claimed that Billy Ray subjected her to extreme abuse.
Their divorce was finalized in August after a contentious legal battle. Billy Ray admitted that their relationship was based on lies and that love can sometimes be blind. The couple’s whirlwind romance, engagement, and subsequent breakup have captured the attention of fans and media alike.
Despite the public scrutiny, Firerose and Billy Ray have both moved on from their failed relationship. Firerose is focusing on her music career, while Billy Ray continues to work on his own projects. Their story serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of love, relationships, and fame in the entertainment industry.
