Billy Ray Cyrus has made a startling revelation about his estranged wife, Firerose, claiming she pleaded with him not to proceed with their divorce. According to Cyrus, Firerose sent him a heartfelt love note just days after he filed to end their marriage. This revelation comes in the wake of Firerose’s accusations of “extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse” against the country singer.
The handwritten letter, exclusively obtained by Page Six, expresses Firerose’s deep regret and longing for reconciliation. “I miss you more than I can possibly explain in words Baby,” the note reads. “Please let’s work this out and not become anything but closer out of this hellish experience. I need you. I love you. I am so sorry.”
Cyrus, 62, shared this note as part of his response to Firerose’s allegations. He claims that despite her accusations, she reached out to him in an attempt to mend their relationship. The singer’s camp also provided a lengthy text message allegedly sent by Firerose after their split. In the message, she expresses her profound sense of loss and her desire to reconnect. “I’m praying with my entire soul that we can find each other again today,” the message reads. “I feel completely lost & miss you more than I can explain.”
Firerose, 36, reportedly described Cyrus as her best friend and expressed her heartbreak over their separation. “You have been my best friend in the world every day for over 4 years. 24/7. I miss you terribly,” she wrote. “My heart is shattered & I need my best friend right now more than ever.”
In her messages, Firerose also mentioned the physical toll the divorce was taking on her, claiming she had lost 5 pounds due to stress. She reiterated her love for Cyrus and her desire to make things right. “Please let’s work this out and not become anything but closer out of this hellish experience,” she wrote. “I don’t want to live without you. Please give me a chance to make this right. I can explain everything but I need you by my side.”
Cyrus filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct. He also sought an annulment on the grounds of fraud. In an amendment to his original filing, Cyrus elaborated on why he believes their marriage was fraudulent. He accused Firerose of lying about her previous marital status and her last name, which he claims is actually her ex-husband’s surname, not her father’s.
Cyrus argued that Firerose “knowingly, willfully and intentionally committed fraud” to obtain his famous last name. He stated that had he known the truth, he would not have married her. The singer also accused Firerose of isolating him from his family, alleging that she blocked at least one of his daughters from his phone.
The couple’s relationship reportedly strained Cyrus’s bond with his daughter, Miley Cyrus. Miley did not attend their October 2023 wedding but served as the maid of honor at her mother’s wedding to “Prison Break” star Dominic Purcell months earlier.
In a recent development, Billy Ray Cyrus requested an emergency motion to prevent Firerose from using his funds after she allegedly spent nearly $100,000 on his credit card in a matter of weeks. Firerose’s team has not provided a comment on these allegations.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Cyrus’s attorneys called Firerose’s allegations “especially confusing and suspicious in its veracity since she begged Mr. Cyrus to forgive her and take her back only 2 days after he filed his pleadings to dissolve his marriage.” They questioned why Firerose would want to return to live with Cyrus if her allegations were true.
Firerose’s June 14 filing also claims that Cyrus filed for divorce just one day before she was scheduled to undergo a double mastectomy. Cyrus, in his latest complaint, accused Firerose of lying about being married twice before and using the Cyrus last name to further her career.
The ongoing legal battle between Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose continues to unfold, with both parties presenting conflicting narratives. As the case progresses, more details are likely to emerge, shedding light on the complexities of their tumultuous relationship.
