Did Firerose manipulate Billy Ray Cyrus?
According to a source, the couple — who tied the knot in October 2023 — split because the 37-year-old “isn’t the person he thought he married.”
Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose split in May.
“He believes that she married for other reasons but love,” the insider revealed of the blonde beauty, whom the father of Miley Cyrus met in 2010 while on the set of Hannah Montana.
“He believes she married him so he can take care of her financially. They’ve had drama and trust issues about money,” the source explained, noting, “He wants her out of his life.”
Despite the sad separation, the confidante added, “They have a prenup. He’s disappointed right now, but surely will turn it around quickly. He tends to be a very positive guy.”
