Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose Finalize Divorce Amidst Allegations of Fraud

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have officially ended their seven-month marriage. A Tennessee judge finalized the divorce on Monday, three months after Cyrus filed, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct.

Cyrus, 62, expressed relief over the settlement reached on Friday, stating, 'I'm just very relieved... and giving thanks today to breathe a sigh of relief.' His lawyers claimed that Hodges changed her last name to Cyrus before mediation, supporting their assertion that her primary motivation was to obtain his surname.

Neither party will pay spousal support, and assets are divided based on ownership before marriage. Cyrus will transfer ownership and royalties for music created during their marriage to Hodges. The high-profile case adds to the publicized family rift, notably excluding Cyrus from daughter Miley's Grammy thank-yous.
