Billy Ray Cyrus is a country singer best known for his iconic 1992 smash hit Achy Breaky Heart. He has recently filed for divorce from his Aussie wife, Firerose, less than a year after they tied the knot. This marks the singer's third divorce. Cyrus was previously married to Cindy Smith (1986-1991) and Tish Cyrus-Purcell (1993-2022).

As per the court documents obtained by TMZ, Cyrus is seeking an annulment, alleging that his third marriage was "obtained by fraud." He has also listed "inappropriate marital conduct" among the reasons for the request. Listing the date of separation as May 22, 2024, Firerose was already asked to vacate Cyrus's residence by May 24 afternoon.

The country singer has agreed to pay for Firerose's lodgings worth $500 a night for 10 days and $5,000 per month afterward for 90 days or until their divorce is finalized. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Billy Ray Cyrus's estimated net worth is around $10 million.

Billy Ray Cyrus has made a fortune as a singer-songwriter. First, he rose to stardom when he released Achy Breaky Heart in 1992. It climbed the country charts before the catchy song went mainstream and became a global phenomenon, peaking at No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

Cyrus's 1992 single was also a smash hit in several countries. It made a name in Australia, where it became the best-selling track during that time and turned out to be the first-ever single in the country to earn triple Platinum status.

This feat led to him releasing his debut album titled Some Gave All, which was another commercial success. It clinched No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for 17 consecutive weeks, thanks in huge part to Achy Breaky Heart.

He also has other Billboard toppers, including Could Have Been Me (No.72), She's Not Crying Anymore (No.70), Busy Man (No.46), and his song with his daughter Miley Cyrus, Ready, Set, Don't Go (No.37).
