Billy Ray Cyrus Has 'Not Been In The Best Place' Since Split From Firerose -- Inside His 'Struggles'

Billy Ray Cyrys Has 'Not Been In The Best Place' Since Split From Firerose

Billy Ray Cyrus has been struggling lately — ever since his messy divorce from Firerose!

Billy Ray has been embroiled in the latest Cyrus family feud after his disastrous gig at Donald Trump‘s Liberty Ball last week. His son Trace urged him to get help for unspecified issues, but sources have insisted the concerning performance was just a result of technical difficulties and his insecurity involving his changing voice. Now, though? They’re blaming it on his most recent divorce!

An insider told People on Tuesday that the country star has “not been in the best place lately,” explaining:

“There is a lot of heavy doubt and struggles with personal things, but also career-wise. The divorce was heavy for him. He lost faith.”

Oof.

The 63-year-old singer filed for divorce from Firerose in May 2024 as they both accused the other of abuse. Billy Ray even requested an annulment on the grounds of fraud. They eventually settled the split in August, with a Firerose source telling the outlet at the time that she chose to walk away without putting up a fight for money because she just wanted to be done with the crooner. That’s how much of a nightmare it all was.

She has since claimed that what the public is just beginning to pick up on is “much of what I experienced in private during our relationship.” During the divorce, she accused the Old Town Road artist of “persistent drug use accompanied with the consumption of marijuana” (which he denied), so that seems to be what she’s referring to here. This combined with Trace’s concerns, it’s all very troubling!

While his personal issues have been weighing on the Hannah Montana alum, People‘s insider added that he’s really happy to be working on his new album, which is produced by his son Braison and is expected to be out in the summer. They shared:

“He does best though when he’s able to focus on his music. Music is his life. He’s very focused on the new album right now. It’s a great project for him to stay busy.”

Hmm. You’d think the inauguration performance would have been really good for him then? But we guess his demons were too much to overcome on that stage…

Thoughts?? Let us know what you think of this ongoing situation (below).
