Billy Ray Cyrus has filed for divorce from Firerose after just seven months of marriage, it has been reported.
The 62-year-old Old 'Town Road' crooner and father of Grammy award-winning artist Miley Cyrus married 35-year-old musician Firerose - real name Johanna Rose Hodges - in October 2023.
Prior to Cyrus' marriage to Firerose, he was married to Tish Cyrus for 29 years before divorcing in 2022.
The documents seen by E! News show that Cyrus has reportedly cited 'irreconcilable differences' and 'inappropriate marital conduct' in his quest for a separation from Firerose.

Cyrus is also seeking an annulment due to his reasoning that 'consent to marriage was obtained by fraud', according to the publication. The date of their separation is reportedly listed as 22 May.
Cyrus and Firerose are yet to comment publicly on the situation.
Tyla has contacted Cyrus and Firerose's reps for comment.
After they tied the knot, they shared a joint statement which read: "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.
"For both of us to hear the preacher say, 'Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus . . . I now pronounce you husband and wife' that was the sacred moment our new forever began. Long Live Love!"
Recounting how he met Firerose, Cyrus told PEOPLE that they met on the set of the show his daughter Miley starred in, Hannah Montana, in 2011.
He said: "I loved doing that show.
"There's a couple old pine trees on the lot that look like Tennessee. Tex and I would go out there in the middle of the day and he'd take care of his business and we'd stretch and I'd think how much I missed Tennessee.
"On that given day, Firerose came out of the front door. There was almost a moment of, I don't know, recognition. I was like, 'This girl's a star.'"
Despite Cyrus and Firerose not posting about each other publicly since April, Firerose took to the social media platform to share her sobriety anniversary on 1 June.
She wrote: "8 years sober today by the grace of God! 8 years ago God performed a miracle in my life. One day at a time since then I’ve given my will & my life over to Him.
"He’s been loving & faithful in all promises & never left my side. It’s only by God’s love & His wonderful grace that I get to remain sober & share that hope with others still suffering in addiction. I couldn’t be more incredibly grateful for that gift. If you’re struggling right now, just know there is NOTHING He can’t do!!
"No matter how broken you feel… by faith you can & will be restored."
