Firerose Navigates Health Scare Amidst Divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus
Firerose is navigating a challenging period marked by a severe health scare coupled with her turbulent divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, the 36-year-old Australian singer expressed moments of doubt about her survival amidst these hardships. The legal split, initiated when Cyrus filed for annulment in June, brought an end to their short-lived marriage following his previous divorce from Tish Cyrus in April 2022.
Amidst the divorce, Firerose — whose real name is Johanna Rosie Hodges — also faced significant health challenges. After discovering she carried the BRCA1 gene, she underwent a preventative double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. She disclosed suffering from pulmonary embolisms in both lungs shortly after, describing the experience as humbling and illuminating. Firerose, referring to the gravity of her condition, stated it was potentially fatal and required a five-day hospital stay before she could return home.
Despite the intense personal struggles she has endured recently, she speaks of her break from the "Achy Breaky Heart" artist as a fortuitous turning point. Cite in legal documents as splitting due to irreconcilable differences, their public disputes included allegations of infidelity and inappropriate marital conduct from both parties. Firerose remains grateful that this clash effectively ended their marriage, suggesting it could have lasted longer without it.
Firerose continues to focus on a brighter future, musically showcasing this through her latest release, "The One Who Can." Embracing singlehood post their divorce finalized – wherein she sustained music credits and royalties in agreement – she finds herself on a path she finds vital and fulfilling. Reflecting on this new chapter, she expresses relief and happiness having attained a refreshed form of self-love and autonomy.
