Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex Firerose is focusing on her career amid his new relationship with Elizabeth Hurley

Just days after her ex Billy Ray Cyrus revealed his relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley, Firerose isn’t letting that draw focus from her career.

Cyrus, 63, and Firerose, 37, (born Johanna Rose Hodges) confirmed their romance in August 2022 and tied the knot in October 2023.

They confirmed their split in May 2024, though it was quite the contentious one, with both sides offering abuse claims in the proceedings.

The divorce was finalized in August 2024, with reports claiming Cyrus believed she married him so he would take care of her financially.

Now a rep for Firerose has released a statement in the aftermath of her ex’s new relationship, revealing she’s keeping the focus on her career.

‘Firerose is currently focused on her music, which continues to inspire new souls globally every day,’ the statement began.

The two struck up a friendship, and grew even closer when they collaborated on a song together in early 2021, called New Day – while he was still married to Tish.

But in April 2022, Tish filed for divorce from the musician after more than 30 years together.

In the divorce papers, they revealed that they hadn’t lived together in two years, and afterwards, Billy Ray insisted that ‘everyone knew the relationship was over a long time ago’ in an interview.

Just three months after news hit the web that his marriage to Tish had ended, Billy Ray reunited with Firerose to sing their song at Grand Ole Opry.

And after the performance, Firerose shared a slew of images that showed her cozying up to Billy Ray backstage, sparking romance rumors.

Billy Ray and Tish’s divorce seemed to rip the entire Cyrus family apart – with some of their five kids taking his side and others taking hers.

'She¿s rising in her next chapter of artistic evolution, which reflects the profound strength, healing and transformation she¿s been forged through,' the statement added.

 One month after the split, a source told The Sun that Miley was ‘no longer on speaking terms’ with her father.

‘Miley is all about peace but she didn’t agree with some things that her father has done,’ they said.

‘It has really escalated and they are not on good terms. There were words exchanged over what happened towards the end of Billy and Tish’s marriage and now they clearly see things very differently.’

And the rumored rift only seemed to worsen as his romance with Firerose strengthened.

An insider told E! News in October 2022 that Miley had no relationship with Firerose but ‘hoped Billy Ray was happy.’

When Miley won an award at the 2024 Grammys in February, she threw some subtle shade at her father by leaving him out of her thank you speech.

TMZ reported that he filed for divorce in late May, and that he claimed both irreconcilable differences and ‘inappropriate marital conduct’ as the reasons behind their separation.

Additionally, it was reported by E! that Billy Ray is requesting an annulment, alleging the marriage was entered into fraudulently.

Per court documents, ‘he gave consent to marriage based on fraud by the wife, that had he known he would not have entered into the bonds of matrimony.’

It’s also been said that Billy Ray insisted Firerose move out of the home they shared in Nashville, Tennessee by May 24, and that he was willing to pay as much as $500-a-night over the course of 10 days for her lodging costs.

After the 10-day period, he was willing to pay $5,000 a month for her to acquire a suitable new home in Tennessee.

Billy Ray is prepared to make the payments over the course of 90 days or once their divorce is officially finalized, whichever happens first, TMZ reported. The payments must be made on the first of the month.
