People magazine sources have gathered that singer Billy Ray Cyrus wants "to put all the drama in the past" in his broken marriage with Australian singer Firerose.
As Billy Ray goes through his divorce, the sources revealed he has a "good support system" to help him.
"He's happy in Nashville and doing well. "He's with close friends, and he has great contact with [his daughter] Noah," they added.
The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer noted that the back-and-forth of the divorce proceedings may be "annoying" for him, but "he's happy to be out of the marriage." The insider also noted that Billy Ray has reduced his relationship with his estranged wife to a "scam," and he now "feels lucky that he figured it all out."
Billy Ray filed for divorce on May 22, 2024. According to court documents obtained by People, Cyrus listed "irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct" as the reason for their divorce. He also requested an annulment on the grounds of fraud.
The Grammy-winning singer issued a cryptic one-word declaration against Firerose on his Instagram Stories. On June 30, 2024, Cyrus posted a video of a gold picture frame with the word "Fraud" in it. Under the word, a candle flickered beneath as rose petals floated everywhere.

Sources close to Cyrus revealed to People that the Country singer is separating from Firerose because "she isn't the person he thought he married."
"He believes that she married for other reasons but love," the insider alleged. "He believes she married him so he can take care of her financially. They've had drama and trust issues about money."
Meanwhile, Page Six reported that Billy Ray has "vehemently" denied Firerose's accusations that he had domestically abused her, arguing that it was the other way around.
In the filing obtained by the outlet, Cyrus alleged that he was "not only verbally and emotionally" abused by Firerose but "physically" as well.
However, Cyrus confessed to being "vocal, frustrated and angry" in one of their arguments weeks before the divorce was filed; he argued in the documents that it was he who "has been abused."
In the filing, Cyrus also claimed that his estranged wife threatened him that she would ruin his career if he tried to divorce her, telling the public that the reason for their split was that she got a double mastectomy. Indeed, Firerose revealed that she was informed of the divorce a day before she received a double mastectomy surgery.
