Billy Ray Cyrus and ex-wife Firerose have finalized their divorce three months after the country star petitioned for an annulment, Fox News Digital confirmed.

"This past Friday the parties reached a settlement agreement at mediation to dissolve their 7-month marriage, and the Court declared the parties divorced this morning," Billy Ray's rep said in a statement. "Mr. Cyrus is relieved to put this nightmare behind him."

Cyrus and Firerose, whose full name is Johanna Rosie Hodges, announced their engagement in November 2022, and married on his ranch on Oct. 10, 2023.

"Further, a couple of weeks ago, prior to mediation, Ms. Hodges legally changed her last name from 'Hodges' to 'Cyrus'. Mr. Cyrus feels that this validates his assertion that his ex-wife's sole impetus for marrying him was to obtain his last name," the statement continued. 

Billy Ray stated, "I’m just very relieved… and giving thanks today to breathe a sigh of relief. This has been absolutely the most crazy insane scam I have ever heard of. Let alone the fact I’m right in the center and basically the target of the scheme. It’s unfortunate… it played out this way … not only was it a web of lies that put me in physical danger …. It was a matter of the heart. Love is blind … that’s for sure."

Cyrus, 62, filed for an annulment from the Australian singer, 36, in May citing "irreconcilable differences" and alleged "inappropriate marital conduct," according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
