Cyrus, 62, who married Firerose -- whose real name is Johanna Rosie Hodges -- in October 2023, filed for divorce from the singer on May 23 in Williamson County, Tennessee, People reported, citing court documents.
Williamson County is located just south of Nashville.
According to court documents, Cyrus cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as his reasons for divorce, the magazine reported. The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer was also seeking an annulment against Firerose, 37, on the grounds of fraud.

Documents stated that Cyrus must 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, whichever comes first, the entertainment news website reported.
Jason Talley, an attorney representing Cyrus, told Entertainment Tonight that “Mr. Cyrus and the court filings speak for themselves. Currently we don’t have any further comments to add.”
An attorney representing Firerose had no comment, according to the entertainment news website.
Cyrus was previously married to Tish Cyrus for 28 years, People reported. They share five children: daughters Miley, Noah, and Brandi; and sons Trace and Braison. Billy Ray Cyrus also shares son Christopher Cody with Kristen Luckey, whom he dated before meeting Tish Cyrus.
